Captain 21

 I've got these two snaps in my auction archive.

He's definitely Captain Scarlet.

Century 21 SPV? 

SPC?

Why didn't they make a big plastic toy MSV? ☹️

Walt Disney Press Out Book 1970

 I picked up this lovely Disney Press Book last week at an outdoor sale, for the princely sum of £1. 

There are activity sheets, paint by numbers and superb pressure out colour shapes of Jungle Book and many more classic.

Published by Purnell in 1970.

Have you any press out books?

Arto's Mickey Mouse Stationery

Just to show you the 1930's Mickey Mouse stationery published by Kuvataide. 

I wonder why the title is left in English?

There are five different illustrations on the 16 sheets. Small blank envelopes are also included in the set. Single sheets have been known to exist, but I haven't found a full set mentioned in databases or elsewhere (which does not mean there would not be one somewhere).

Anyone else got anything like this?

Ed's Dino Model Sheet

Woodsy,

Here's a scan of one of the model sheets (aka used by cartoonist to draw the characters).

 Fred and Wilma had Dino and Baby Puss (shown in the credits but rarely in any episode) as pets and a couple of years later they had Pebbles.

 I've been blogging my set of 47 sheets for some time now:

A Dakin Fred Flintstone.

Mystery Stingray

I saw this old sale item and thought, which toy Stingray has a multi-coloured ratemaster like this?

Anyone know?

Ed's Fred Flintstone on Dinosaur Crane by Marx

Woodsy,

Here's the large Marx Fred on dinosaur crane I used to own (BTW the crane's name was Mildred). 

Cosmetically, the toy was in great shape but didn't work, so I sold it off years ago. 

This was one of my 'seller's regrets' (one of many).

Arto on Display! Time Travel Odyssey 1950

Museo Leikki toy museum in Espoo, Finland, has just opened a new special exhibition Time Travel Odyssey 1950 – Childhood and youth of the past, present and future

https://museoleikki.fi/en/time-travel-odyssey-1950/

Displayed in one of the cabinets are some of my space toys which were either manufactured or sold in Finland in the Fifties. 

Many of them are copies of British toys of the era. 

How many can you spot? The exhibition will run until March, 2028.

For it's a Jolly Good Faller

 I recently picked up these two plastic biuldings in a scrap store.

They were dearer than I'd like - £15 the two - but really quite lovely.

There's a smaller Alpenblick mountain restaurant and a large block of flats with shops at the bottom. The tiny detailing ist wunderbar! 

Both are plastic and have wiring, which I assume is for lighting. 

I tried to illuminate them myself with fairy lights but to no great success.

Do you think these are Faller biuldings for train lay outs?
