Trumpton Figure Re-Issues Found

This unusual re-issue of Marx's Trumpton figures has been found by reader Tony K.

It was a one-off based on John Cooper-Clarke's 'Beasley Street' and wasn't available in the shops. Each figure was planned to be given away free with ASBO's under the campaign slogan of 'Marx on Your Record'.

The whole line was pulled at the last minute by Judge S. Poilsport and this is the only known set.

CHOCO VADER

Hello Woodsy,

Nothing as fun as Spacex eggs, but how about Star Wars Chocolate figures?

FOR MR. KUBRICK: ETHEL'S FINAL KINDNESS

Hi Woodsy,

I had an acquaintance who was a fanatical props collector. He had an original space helmet and laser gun from the 1965 "Lost in Space" TV series.

He would tantalise me with stories of a wooden box marked "For Mr. Kubrick"

which he said contained a rubber miniature spaceman used in the Pod accident

scene of 2001. He said it was "absolutely perfect with all the straps and little

buckles..."

I doubted the veracity of his claims, but even so, I wanted to believe it

really was real. Somewhere out there, just beyond our sight, lurk the objects of our desire. They are real and tangible - even if only as figments of our imagination...

Well I've finally tracked down that box along with an accompanying letter!

Pictures attached.

Regards
