Scratchbuilt cactus ??? If so then good job. I got a big one ( cactus ) growing by the letterboxes. I think they flower very rarely. It shot up a big flowery stalk about 12 foot high ( true ) and had pretty yellow flowers. I got a photo somewhere, but the bastard building gardener cut it off. :wah:

Wm Britains Ltd. bought out the smaller comany 'Herald Toys' in the 1960's, bringing into their fold some of the nicest toys ever produced. These included wild west figures such as this cowpoke and - later on & clearly inspired by these - they introduced their own 'Swoppet' range featuring novelties like guns removable from holsters and interchangeable heads, legs and torsos, allowing for endless permutations; I'll post some of these later

The true nature of corporeal entropy

I have enough permutations already - although I have a feeling they haven't done with me yet :timeout: I once told my doctor that I ought to be renamed "The King of Co-morbidity"

Two of Cherilea's early 50mm plastics - completely different to the later 60mm figures

Crescent's medicine man dances around Herald Toys' totem pole

what is an Eskimo, Kalispell or Lummi tribe totem-pole doing in a treeless Plains buffalo-hide teepee village?...Much less dancing a traditional pole raising 'potlatch' ceremonyhttps://www.donsmaps.com/images28/potlatch2img_1382.jpg in an eagle-feather'd warbonnet or cape? Just finding suitable long tent-poles also used for travois on tribal migrations in search of bison tenderloin, humps and hides was hard enough in them-thar daze much less toting 90' weighty wooden statuary on the trip!

Cultural appropriation?

Britains "Swoppets" - interchangeable figures

Later Swoppets were often produced in a bendy vinyl-like material, as was this one, and vinyl- based paints were used increasingly for better adhesion; polythene plastic figures were always prone to flaking paintwork

Gotta luv them https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._poster%29.jpgs!:yeah:
