SUMMER HOLIDAY BUS: A GOOD STOCKING FILLER

Hello Woodsy
Found my Cliff Richard bus. Interesting in that it's made by Oxford under contract to Richmond Toys when a better Regent 3 was made by EFE Toys (Executive First Editions).

IT'S DECEMBERRRRRRR!

Santa is NOT in quarantine!

Tis the end of November,

Farewell Autumnal wench,

Now come the Dogs of Winter,

all fangs foul breath and stench.

NO CRATER LOVE

 

I love this bag of bootleg crater critters from Mexico, Criaturas Extranas.

There's even an R&L style Molab in there too for good measure!

You got any bootleg crater critters or real ones maybe?

DO YOU STILL SEND CHRISTMAS CARDS?

My old Mum used to send tons of Christmas cards out in the Sixties and Seventies. All glittery things depicting baubles and stagecoaches. It took her ages to get them all written, stamped and sent. Anyone living close by got theirs personally delivered, a Xmas tradition that maybe vanishing, especially now we have this darn virus around.

I loved those old cards my Mum sent out and still do, so much so, I got a load of unused ones years ago and still send them out myself, keeping the old style alive a bit I hope.

But, over the years I've started sending fewer cards at Christmas. This is largely for environmental reasons and reducing paper and all that. I do enjoy writing Xmas cards though so my siblings and closest nephews get one. Its just so easy to send an electronic card by email nowadays so I do use this facility a lot more now.

Do you send Christmas cards readers? Will the Pandemic affect it?

Hi Woodsy,

Here is a short film clip from Laura Legends featuring Raphael from Teenage Mutant Ninja (or Hero) Turtles, Predator, and Alien, in a battle over a slice of pizza.

HI-YA! THE 1975 KUNG FU TARGET SET

Hi Woodsy

Not certain exactly how a target pistol shooting game ties in with Kung Fu but it must be a rarity. Maybe when you get really good you can deflect the projectiles with just a wave of your hand when your kid brother or sister is shooting you.

Regards

Speaking of similar simians, compare the Multiple Toymakers Kung Fu Target Set with their much earlier Planet of the Apes Target Set from 1967. Looks to me like good old recycling! Woodsy

Have you anything like these sets readers?
