Small Scale World

A few shelfies which were meant for Rack Toy Month, but missed it, as I had other stuff to post and ran out of month!

Now, I think the seller told me who these were, but I'll be fecked if I can remember what he said, and we have seen them before; With the larger hard 'styrene from Flan Imperial on the left, in this archive-shot, a smaller painted one in the middle (which…

I picked these up at the races!

Sometimes a plan comes together when you didn't even know you needed a plan!

So, to the second of two posts on the new Airfix 1:35th (nominally) Quickbuild kits, and we have the mighty - and flawed ('IRL') - German Tiger.

This is a weird one?

The last of the First Wave stuff from Mattel on the subject of the sequel/prequel/spin-off/arse-tear which seems to have been the movie Lightyear.

An unprepossessing name for a vicious little critter which did a lot to help win the war, and yes, lots of things make that claim, SOE, SAS, Bletchley/Ultra, Bomber Command, Fighter Command, Trinity, Boeing, Hobart and his Funnies, Rolls Royce and their w…

About as far from plastic toy soldiers and/or model figures as possible, but the collection has extended it remit over the years, and micro-mini's has been one of those extensions, through such things as the mini 1-ton Humber trucks, and somewhere there is

So, these are the other three issues in the set we looked at the other day, and these have not been de-boxed, as they're in storage and have been there since these shots were taken in 2023.

Nine, Eight, Seven . . .

Sort of box-ticking, as we've definitely seen one of these in a shelfie, and I have a fancy I've subsequently bought one and posted it, but I can't find it under the Tag, so, whatever!

Mentioned at the time, but not included in the post, the third Tattle Tale from Phidal I bought back in 2023, it still needs to be cleared out and ticked-off, so here it is; As with the others, it contains four figures from one of the larger sets, and we'd

I think the last time we looked at these, I both mused they were different to previous ones, vis-a-vis colour schemes, and that I'd found more on Amazon (and left them there!).

We've seen them before, but it was eight or so years ago; https://smallscaleworld.blogspot.com/2018/01/s-is-for-shelfies-2-imperial-walmart.html And they are both carded, and several pages down the Tag results, so we'll look at these from Peter Evans, as…

This is an odd one; basically, it's clearance of clearance, of clearance!

Some of you may have had a weird alert for a post you can't find, this is due to my being an Aspergic idiot, and wanting to have four posts between each of Brian's posts, forgetting I'd done four because of the 'help wanted' post, which now isn't wanted (…

Post removed at the request of the help seeker.

Just a quickie, these are probably one of the last packaging changes/variations from Starlux, and were produced in 1994, for the commemoration of D-Day, and the 50th anniversary of the worlds largest ever, pretty much everything!

A new name on the import/jobber horizon, but Huggables' website claims they've 30-years experience, so they must have been around under another name, or just been passing generics through to end users, anonymously, and like A-to-Z(Padgett Brothers), and o…

We've seen these a few times now, in recent years, from at least three makers, here's another trio, from two additional brands!

Brian's third visit this year, was to Hobby Lobby (similar to our Hobbycraft, but ours carries less of the kind of stuff we're about to look at here), where he found some useful sets of classic rack-toys, which seem to tick all the boxes!

I tend to grab the odd die-cast from time to time, usually to ID a figure or animal, for future reference, but occasionally I'll buy a figureless one because . . . military or space!

We've seen these dinosaur pencil tops from Depesche already, but not together, so here they are again, and it should be a last time for them, as they're not deserving of one post, let alone the three or four outings they've had, but that's how the cookie's

This is all courtesy of Peter Evans, with the carded set coming last year around Christmastime, and the figure being in the latest donation, which I picked-up the other day!
