Operation Mountie: Fake Canadiene

 My Blues and Royals looks lonely. Seeing as I've extra horses I thought I'd knock up a friend, the Canadian Mountie.

Prep has begun.

Let's ride.

Ken's retiring. He's too smiley. I need his jacket and matador hat though. The mini Mountie looks worried.


A new sulkier action man has assumed command. His miniature mate has been stripped of his belt, holster and gun. I've started on the Mountie jodpurs.


The doll's tiny gun has been beefed up for a bigger hand.


The Sangria souvenir hat was thankfully easy to push in on four corners to recreate that Mountie look. Proper whitening will come later.

Saddle up.

  1. Youre a virtual toy factory! Shall we see an AM astronaut figure anytime soon? Although not with a space horse! Moon McDares Space Mutt was a bit too far! Bill

    1. Hmmm, that silver suit would not be easy. I wonder what else is made of silver material?

  2. No Bill, a space horse is a great idea.
    It could be mechanical and made of shiny metal, and be called the 'Space Intreplanetary and Lunar Vehicular Equine Robot', or S.I.L.V.E.R. for short !

    I've gone too far ,haven't I !
