With the final remnants of Christmas flickering like a fading star in the January gloom the Missus and me wandered round the Elsecar Antiques two-floor emporium near Barnsley this week, which is always fun. Still lots of ice everywhere after the recent northern cold snap. Brrrr!
I was looking for JR21 novelty toys. I once found a loose red JR21 Landrover here. Not this time but I did see a lot of interesting stuff. See what you think.
An original life-size version of one of my favourite Action Man miniature toys as a kid, the German WWII Stick Grenade! Bit macabre really.
A Vader computer mouse!
I am your cursor!
Part works!
I don't recall this X-Files monster. Do you?
What is the Gooney Bird?
A new old idea; boxes of bones and feathers. Would you buy one?
The second UNCLE book I saw in a week, the last being the Girl.
I do like these Stewardesses.
And a Jaunting Cart. What is Jaunting?
Tons of die-cast.
Keymen! Now that rings bell! Miniature men! Do you remember them?
Some fine Action Man and Star Wars.
and just to tempt me, a really nice Green Hornet Back Beauty at the end!
See anything you like?
Don't remember the X Files figures. That one is from the first feature film. Maybe they all were?
ReplyDeleteReally, the first film. I saw that last Autumn. My minds a blank Kevin. I want to believe!
DeleteYes, the X-Files figures were all based on the movie. They were pretty meh and sat on shelves at the Target I worked at until they went on clearance.
DeleteSome lovely trains in there! SFZ
ReplyDeleteYes, lots more too at the venue SF. There's also a real steam train there!
DeleteCool stuff Woodsy! I really like the potato masher hand grenade. That would have bene fun to play with as a kid
ReplyDeleteMy Action Man had one. Gi Joe too. Did you have a GI Joe Ed?
DeleteOh yeah! I had a bunch plus some of the cool accessories. I also had some of the foreign troops: Aussie, German, Russian. I had GI Joe branded figures plus the Marx Stoney Smith and another really cheap knock-off (don't remember the brand).
DeleteSounds fab Ed. Did any survive?
DeleteI gave them all to my nephew when I joined the Air Force. I have no clue what happened to them after that.
DeleteNice gesture Ed.
