Nostalgia for Old Boys!

It seems my little item on the Swoppet Captain Scarlet raised a few tears of nostalgia from some oldies out there! 
The question was raised re. the size of the figures.  There are two main sizes -1/72nd scale is between 23-25mm in height or,if an old Airfix collector “Ho/00” -and there are MANY sets out there […]

SWOPPITS?!

SPECTRUM Is Green! 

Now,a while back I mentioned that I had,sadly,neglected to purchase 54mm [1/32nd] scale Captain Scarlet figures. 

I was mocked!  Yes,people doubted that “Mr Memory” had seen these figures.  “Never been made!” I was told.  HAH! 
Check out the images below of Timpo “Swoppit” figures.  Pretty clear for a false memory,huh?  It was […]

Raumpatrouille Orion/Space Patrol Orion Figures 

Well,the German  sci fi TV series hit the airwaves before Star Trek and it still has a cult following in many countries.  You’ve seen my own English language translation of the 1960s Hungarian strip.  Now there are the figures!  The figures are 20cms high and if you speak German the link […]

According to the site:
“A family run business established in 1891 based 3 […]

PAPO

A lot of enquiries following CBOs all too brief look at Papo figures and sets so I’m hoping to do a larger feature at some point before the end of August.

 Sadly,I’ve heard nothing back from Papo itself but for those who want to know more:

 

“The Papo company was established in 1983, is was taken over […]

PSR,ZVEZDA and More

Well,with a wonderful site like Plastic Soldier Review covering 20mm military figures for gamers and diorama maniacs,I thought it best to leave the subject alone.  However,how are you going to find it without a link?

Fantastic Four:The Rise Of The Silver Surfer

I think we are all familiar with movie-related toy merchandising?  Well,the figures from the original Fantastic Four movie looked really cool and were nicely detailed.

My sleepless nights are over!
The Marvel site has the details.
