Shopping at Wilkos over the weekend I had to chuckle at something I saw.
Its their ultra-inexpensive - £2 - plastic see-through toiletries-tidy in the shape of a 12" doll-sized Victorian plastic bath.
I immediately thought how much my daughter would have loved that bath for her Sindies and Barbies in the eighties. The real doll bathroom showers and baths cost loads back then.
Then I thought how comical it would be to photograph an Action Man lounging in the bath after a good skirmish!
As with most comical ideas someone has already thought of it.
Here you go!
The only Action Men that entered my bath as a nipper all had jobs: the Frogman [and his pet shark], the Deep Sea Diver and the Jungle Explorer River boat with its outboard motor.
Did you have Action Men in your bath?
Did it damage them?
A lesson learned early in life;I ruined a GiJoe talking commander by putting it in water.I wince when I see how much they're worth now.However, my kung fu grip land adventurer took many bath and pool dives and is still with me :)
ReplyDeleteKung Fu grip! Now that takes me back Brian! And eagle eyes, you don't want to get soap in them. I think my Billy Blastoff spent the most time in the bath - his frogman get-up.
DeleteHmmm my talking pilot (first Joe I ever got) is still with me and works fine although his voice is a little soft. He took many a splash in a friend's pool but can't say he took any baths. While water will eventually rust the spring, I wonder if the soap/bubbles/etc had a more catastrophic effect than chlorine did. If it was a talking Land Commander, I see those running from 50 - 250 US.
ReplyDeleteSounds like he's been with you through thick and then Lance that talking commander. I bet he talks a lot of sense!
DeleteThat bath brush actually looks like a human-sized toothbrush. Nice shot.
