My friend left three B minus grade Shogun Warriors with me for restoration. I had a great time, learning how to 3D scan and print the missing parts.
I even learnt how to colour laser print on foil Origami paper to replace the original stickers!
Anyway, he finally picked them up last week and gave me some Thunderbirds stuff in exchange.
There was a Scott Tracy in an unopened box similar to that one you saw in Elsecar, but obviously with boots!
Mine also had a bonus item. Some cockroach had crawled into the package through the "try me" hole on the celluloid front and laid an egg case in Scott's eye socket!
TRY ME! I say five phrases..
Click "FAB Father"
Click "Thunderbirds are Go!"
Click "Thunderbird 1 returning to base"
Click "AAAARGH! My EYE! GET IT OFF ME!"
A great thank-you present!
Keep on bloggin'

PS.
Woodsy asks: have you had anything like Lewis's roach crawl into your own toys readers?
I bought one of those non-fall moon crawlers from the states a few years back, which wasnt working. when I took it apart, it was full of dead spiders!
ReplyDeleteYuk! They certainly were moon crawlers! Just non-crawl!
DeleteHalf of all the second-hand model railway buildings sold in New Zealand come with a dead spider.
ReplyDeleteha ha. They come as standard!
DeleteMy Missus once watched a worm crawl into the exhaust of a Dinky Buck Rogers Starfighter. She tried to pull it out but it just kept going! Not sure where the exhaust leads in that die-cast. The cockpit?
