I think she must have a lot of money! Silkstone have been up in price for a very long time. They had a dip before the movie and I was able to add to my collection. Since the movie, they have shot up. Most of them are unattainable for the average collector now. If someone likes them, but can't afford a lot of money then this new wave are the best ones to buy.
You used to be a cop, that's awesome. I collect a little police figurines too, I even have a security guard in my hoard, I got it for 2 reasons, 1 is that some security are trained by special forces and can carry firearms and 2 my friend is a door man, he was like me. He wanted to join the British army but couldn't because of autism.
It is GREAT that there will ALWAYS be Barbie dolls! I keep a few Barbie dolls myself, and I hope to be making my Barbie doll who is a Mexican Barbie more clothes!
My 6 year old grandson has had me painting his plastic you soldier collection since I put some home painted civil war set I purchased at HOBBY LOBY in his Easter basket. I’m not sure how many I’ve painted since his collection has DDay US Army, British German ,WW2 Marines, JAPANESE,ALAMO SET OF MEXICAN AND DEFENDERS, Templer Knights, Cowboys and Indians, and Revolutionary War sets. I knew they had a toy soldier convention at the Menger it’s a 20 min drive from us. But I didn’t know the had plastic soldiers there. We will be there next May. A note if you find yourself in San Antonio there is a toy soldier store probably 20 minutes from the Alamo called King & Country Texas/Kings X Toy Soldiers they have a great collection and are open seven days a week.
That is awesome that you are doing that for your Grandson! Unfortunately the Texas Toy Soldier Show did not happen this year (2024) but we are hoping it is back for 2025!
I still have one excellent condition deetail german ww2 soldier throwing a stick grenade with the decal on the helmet still. Also the daimler british armored scout car. I had the german motorcycle with sidecar and British quad gun tractor 4x4 truck with gun and limber, but those and all my marx plastic soldiers went to my son....when he went into the military, his mom,my now ex, cleaned his room and everything went into the dumpster
You had some of the good ones. The nice thing about Deetail figures is that they last and are still available at reasonable prices. Check out that online auction site, you can get them all back!
A gentle washing with worm, soapy water would soon bring those legionaries looking as good as new. I used an old toothebush and hand soap, followed by a light spray of WD-40, to clean and polish mine.
On the _Land of the Giants_ lunchbox, the large “giant” face seen is actually that of Elmer Lenhardt, the artist who illustrated many of the Aladdin boxes.
Over the years i tried to describe or see if men mu age remembered these toys. Finally I found evidence of them. I forgot the name Johnny West so it was hard to make a search.
It’s amazing that I find that I do have a lot of the dolls that she has. However, I have taken mine out of the box so I can thoroughly enjoy them some I have even put on made to move bodies. I feel like sometimes people forget that the dolls are meant to be played with and enjoyed. Never mind you the very expensive ones like the Byron Lars dolls I have left in the boxes in there for display only.
Great interview,met Ken at the Xmas 2023 London toy soldier show,WBritians have some great new soldiers for sale at present.Ken is a great guy and very passionate about the hobby.
I've never heard of these things before, except for the Netflix documentary. Was it for children or adults? My son collected Kinder Surprise eggs and I collected the frog collection. It was a fun time. I don't know if these PEZ things were sold in Germany
During the 1970s, in the Fort Wayne are, we had Shock Theatre, on WPTA TV. It was hosted by a guy who called himself "Asmodius." I used to stay up every Saturday night to watch. Ah, the memories...
Actually Jonathan Livingston Seagull was also a movie featuring music from a very young Neil Diamond including an incredible song called "Be"! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cuj6P_35vQE.htmlsi=DbjfPs5_bj3PZNlE
