Vintage MATTEL M.U.S.C.L.E MEN, from the USA of 1984.
Now he is farm fresh as the Pickers on TV would describe him,and rightly so because if one collects toy town history objects from the childhood past of countless others,for the most part grubby is what one gets.So i count myself fortunate that i can once more play-out my game upon the surfing waves of E Bay, once more. i target sellers collections of figures until they offer a discount deal, which i then counter with my own in way of barter. i aim for 30% discount but usually settle for 25%,but i insist on Free Postage,or a Combined Postage which makes everyone on the unseen stage of selling for a profit happy to get a large lump of cash instead of a slow stream of Pennies from their puddles of re-posted items on their E Bay Shops.
Better the quick Pound,than the slow Shilling!
Eh?
five pence in today's money.
Anyway i just want to say within these written words there are other playful figures to come and will most certainly be placed here. That one presented above is one of my favorites. i live in hope of painting him one fine fresh day.
By the way my Dearest Mrs B
,,,is busy painting stones for placing outside in the wilds of Fiddle Wood.
Old Catton will never be the same again.There are many now enjoying this fun filled time of activity during Lock Down. They, The Stones leave the house never to be seen again by us. It is aimed to keep people and children more happier upon their daily walks. And those selling stones and others selling paint and varnish are booming in trade as this artful endeavour spreads out across Norwich.
2 B able 2 C the children's smile upon their hunt would be magic.
From the little white cottage
surrounded by evergreen gardens,
Greetings and i'll see you later. BB
