I Wish I was a Space Mouse

So, Mickey watches Fireball XL5!

I do like his scooter he borrowed from Steve Zodiac or was this design around before Fireball?

Not a toy I've seen in the flesh, neither Mickey's nor the various fabulous Steve Zodiac originals.

Have you readers?

Starry Starry Night

Woodsy,

This time I've included two snaps - the original photo without stars, and bottom one with stars added. 

Does the addition of stars to the background add or detract from the image?

Rubber Brand

I saw this hard rubbery plastic cat figure described as LP on Ebay but I'm unsure.

On the back is Made in Hong Kong and numbered 948 I think.

Its missing the LP logo.

Do you have one?

A regular jazz band LP plastic animal, of which there are many, has a clear LP logo as seen here on number A6, the sax rabbit.

Do you have any plastic animals?

Hey Woodsy,

here's a psychedelic slice of The Joker! 

Yet to be customised but still a peach of a figure! 😉 

You like?

Rob's “Transportation 1957” Art

Woodsy,

As February was too cold to work on models in the cellar, I did a few more quick gouache sketches based on a 1950s Japanese Picture Transfer book.

 Subjects should be self-explanatory; I'm calling the series "Transportation '57." 

I like how the original artist turned these iconic vehicles almost into abstract forms, and I tried to capture this simplicity in my 5" x 8" recreations.

Hope you like them.

Ed's Azrak-Hamway #6371 Star Trek Phaser Water Pistol

Woodsy,

Here's a little sumthin' I picked up recently that you might like. Normally, I don't collect Star Trek stuff, but I got this for a reasonable price so what the heck!

Anyone else got an Ahi Phaser like this?

SCALEXTRIC SPV PROTOTYPE

 Scalextric have let collectors have a sneak peek of  their prototype Captain Scarlet Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle slot car. 

Obviously, it doesn't have the correct colour scheme  as yet, appearing in appropriate 'Mysteron' black!

It's a pre-order item,  and from what I understand it's scheduled to be released in the Autumn ,and  will cost just under £60.

Scalextric also propose to release a slot-car Spectrum Patrol Car.
