M is for ♪♪♫♪ Mamma Mia, Here He Goes Again, My-My, How Can I Desist Him? ♫♫♪♪

Oh yes! TJF thought to put paws to keyboard again in the matter of what I'm doing over here!

He started with a pirate ship which first appeared on a Faceplant group (to which we are both associated) back in 2021, and which then appeared here at Small Scale World in September of the same year (I'd been holding them for ITLAPD, and never comment on that poster's stuff) and again in 2022, so he's playing 'Simon says keep-up, catch-up!' there!

 

2021 - https://smallscaleworld.blogspot.com/2021/09/b-is-for-big-boxed-buccaneers-black-boat.html

 

and:

 

2022 - https://smallscaleworld.blogspot.com/2022/09/itlapd-is-for-its-that-long-assorted.html

It has, in fact, been around for some years and had several issues, in several territories, under a half-dozen importers and a plethora of phantom, or in-house brands!

 

Then he managed to spell Plastoy as Plastotoys, which he was literally copying/quoting from a two-week old magazine, in his hands! His stupidity is the gift that keeps on giving, his 'arse-torn-out' is still up there, after a couple of weeks! He was referring to the set we looked at here, a few months ago:

https://smallscaleworld.blogspot.com/2023/09/a-is-for-additional-adventurers.html

Before showing us more new production from someone else's website, and a few figures of merit, he gets on to the nitty-gritty of the day, with the following puff-piece on my post of a few days ago, pertaining to Wing Wah and BMC:

https://smallscaleworld.blogspot.com/2024/02/bmc-is-for-wing-wah-plastic-factory.html

We'll need the coloured crayons for a bit;

Hugh Walter in one of his latest posts talked about finding the BMC Alamo Mexicans on the card with a company name of Wing Wah. Well thank you! As I hardly provided empirical evidence for them being Wing Wah, you've obviously gone off and Googled them and found what was there all along! This card was sold in Greece. Was it? I said that, I might have been lying? You make it up all the time, after all! Don't worry Loyal Readers, I wasn't! He was confused about how the figures got to Greece. Err . . . "confused"? No, I gave the four possible scenarios from the available evidence, which were:

1. BMC licensed a 'generic' Wing Wah set
2. It was issued before BMC's involvement.
3. Wing Wah were just shifting stock behind BMC's back.
4. Wing Wah didn't have an 'exclusive' with BMC for the sculpts/production.
   

To clarify the situation I have to go to the conversations Laurie and I had with Bill McMasters of BMC Toys. Conversations he had more than ten or twenty years ago? With two dead people, and no empirical evidence? Given the level of memory he's shown us, in the past? But, we'll give him the benefit of the doubt! Bill told us he had an arrangement with a Chinese (in 1994 it was still very much a Hong Kong company, based in Hong Kong) company to produce playsets and figures. He provided the sculptures (the quality of the products hardly backs-up that hyperbole, but who are we to argue with a dead man?), box art (undoubtably), and other materials (do tell!). In return, he got an exclusive to sell the product in the United States. The Chinese [Hong Kong] company which we now know as Wing Wah from Hugh had the right to sell to the rest of the world. So the set from Greece is an example of that. As I said, it was?

 

So, firstly, if a 'legend' credits you, what does that make you? And secondly, I preferred my option-two, he is confirming option-four? It doesn't matter, I wasn't "confused", I was on the right tracks and hedging my bets against the available evidence. Now he's told us, we all know! But, it is both hearsay, and hyperbole!

And he's revealed how closely he follows this Blog, his post was two days ago, and I only posted the day before! And he's probably sent some extra traffic to the post, including - one hopes - those members of the PSTSM who are so loyal to The Jabbering Fuck, they really try not to follow my blog, even though the person who told them not to, clearly does . . . he's a very stupid man.

And while TJF also uses the term 'exclusive', generally, an 'exclusive-contract' is when the stuff can't be sold elsewhere, except by, or with the permission of the contractee, or under their logographies, it is in that context I used the word, and as such, was correct.

 

He (McMasters/BMC) didn't have an exclusive, the stuff was sold elsewhere, he had an embargo on- or memorandum of understanding with- Wing Wah for not shipping their product to the States, except in so far as it was for/marked-to BMC.

Bill did several of his playsets with this company until the owner died. The owner’s heirs had a falling out with Bill forcing him to find another company for his playsets. Americana Toy Soldiers came into Wing Wah and arranged to sell the old BMC product.

 

Ah, the red-letter moment! I'll just throw Wing Wah in there, like I knew all along! If you want to know what really happened, read the link at the end, as hinted-at above, TJF's got his memories in a twist!

To situation we will now call them Wing Wah soldiers the answer is no. They have been and will stay at BMC Toys. this is what the public know as well. This sentence is illiterate?

 

We can dispense with the colours now. what he's trying to say in that garbled last line, is pertaining to my red-letter comment, but he has already failed that, in a Godwin'esque fashion, by casually using the name in the previous sentence, as I had predicted people would, although in this case, he has already credited me with the origination!

The point I was making, was that those party's listed last time, would now refer to Wing Wah, when discussing the double-W logo, not the Alamo set specifically, not BMC in general, however as we have discovered before, his comprehension skill is very poor and is matched only by his ability to come to the wrong conclusion!

 

A logo which, prior to my post, some people had written absolute garbage about, tying it - falsely - into/with various other companies, and sometimes describing it - as fact - as a single W - Wello, Welly, Wentoys, Willco, etcetera!

Also, Americana didn't 'come into' Wing Wah, like the Airborne over Grenada! They got some stock, probably through an agent! Wasn't Imex involved at one point? I'd have to go look at tedious files to answer that myself, and it really doesn't matter!

 

Elsewhere (globally: the rest of the world! He's talking about a few hundred American collectors as if the rest of us don't count!), it would have remained Wing Wah, and that may even apply to my Greek set, by dates, I don't know, and I don't really care, the point of the post was identifying Wing Wah, period. Not the intricate, yet inconsequential, vagaries of global shipping programs for bagged, carded or boxed rack-toy import/exports! And to a Greek collector they ARE Wing Wah, as issued by BMC in the 'States!

 

I suspect, eventually we will find that in the UK we got both, with toy-soldeir dealers shipping from BMC, after reading about them in the Winter 1994 edition of Plastic Warrior magazine (issue No. 46), while independent convenience stores would have been getting WW-marked or generic sets from down the Hong Kong rack-toy pipeline, possibly earlier?!

I don't know why he keeps doing this, it's only a week or two since he got - as fact - a figure completely wrong, yet here he is trying to correct me, when I was correct? It's pathetic, it's stupid, and it's destroying any 'legacy' he thought he had? This tired, sad old man, shouting nonsense into the wind!

And then, when it can't get any better on the International Idiocy Scale, the cockwacking monkey-lizard popped up and said this;

I have the pirate ship but with two different poses inside.
I found mine at a theme park few years back .
Thanks for making clarification in the BMC history .
Is always great to set the facts straights rather than assumptions or made out tales run around free .

 

Yes! Yes, it is illiterate funk! He spaffed his pocket-money on some words from a dodgy geezer in the car-lot behind the diner, and then glued them together blindfold, it's a good effort! It's like a mutual-appreciation society of fuckwits, they never land their punches, and then I rip them to shreds, again! Even their fans must be getting bored with it now?

Some imagery from Bill B's 1987 trade catalogue. Yes, I've been sitting on it for years, I keep telling you there's about 800-and-something articles in the long queue, and yes, TJF should have learnt by now that whenever I reveal/reacquaint the hobby with one of these Hong Kong producers, there is usually more than one post to come!

 

You will note there are similarities with the output of both Rado Industries (Ri-Toys, the landing craft) and Kwong Shing-KS-Kamley-Kositoys (the aircraft and Chieftain tank), but sometimes when you study them next to each other, there are subtle differences, different wheels, different release-pin marks, dimensions &etc. Equally, they bought and sold this junk to each-other, or from third-parties, to make up the sets, so while it is my hope, one day, to attribute some of it, more definitively, that's still a big "We will see?"!

 

In the meantime, bog-standard Airfix figure piracies, with various accessories, which by the mid-1980's were starting to look like the tired 1970's fare they were! And the brighter among you will have noticed the base-undersides of the Wing Wah Alamo figures, bear a resemblance to the Crescent copy ceremonials we looked at a while ago, and some of the Herald ACW copies out there, could they (factory painted) be earlier product of Wing Wah?

 

There's not enough evidence to call it, but it's food-for-thought . . . for the thoughtful, not for idiotic morons like TJF and his sidekick!

 

And I should add that all the above, and everything in the previous post pertains to the previous iteration of BMC, under the leadership of the late Mr. McMasters, and not the current iteration of BMC (VictoryBuy Inc.) with Jeff Imel at the helm, he bought the intellectual property of the older firm, and others, and probably some late stock, but the improved Alamo figures are re-sculpts (2018'ish?), with new bases, and no aspersions are intended to be cast on the new BMC by either post.

 

And Mr. Imel explains it all somewhat more clearly than Mr. Stadinger, here:

E is for 'Egregious' Errors . . . ?

The absolute certainty the Charbens cowboy . . . err . . . wasn't, "My Deadleaf Hairband" (because he owns their souls!) and "Arstornuat" . . . arse-torn-out, hahahahahahaha!  I don't have to add anything, do I?

"How would you like that word, sir?"

"I'd like it with most of the letters in the wrong place and another 'r' please!"

Five posts, he's managed five posts in the whole of January, one attacking me - the grandiose "let's get started" of the . . . err . . . 14th! Yet, he once suggested I should go and do something else? I've heard the Boy Scouts of America collectors are crying out for a hat and scarf dealer!

 

Seen at Sandown Park a couple of years ago,

I left it there!

 

There must be a bloody election coming!

W is for Will Nobody Rid Me of This Turdulent Prick!

Oh, bless his little cotton-socks, Paul ‘The Jabbering Fuck’ Stadinger has found time in his busy schedule of dying noisily to have another pop at me! Let’s read what pearls of wisdom he managed to pull from that cesspit of a creative mind of his, and then I deal with it in my usual inimitable fashion . . .

“The sad egotist fool is on a rage rampage. He is upset that people are supposedly copying his material. Naturally, Erwin and I are at the top of his hate list. Erwin and I just laugh at his vitriol attacks. I look at his website for laughs. Occasionally, he makes such an egregious error I have to make a comment. One such error was when he listed a Remco Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea as a 20,000 Leagues figure. It took him several weeks to respond. He admitted he was wrong and blamed it on a brain freeze.

He then talked about the Remco Lost in Space Board Game. He had another brain freeze not noting the game pieces were pantographed down copies of the figure on the left. Another brain freeze when he listed a lead Johillco Roman as a Greek warrior. I wish his “loyal followers ” would send him corrections so I would not have to waste time posting them on my site. Oh, he has a third brain freeze which I will let him find. If he does not find it I will give him a hint at the Plastic Warrior Show.”

I would like to thank Kent Sprecher for the use of the above photo.”

So, we’ll do it again, line be line;

“The sad egotist fool is on a rage rampage. The word he is struggling to find is - of course - 'egotistic' or ‘egotistical’ (illiteracy, always was his strong-point!), and he’d be better with a mirror to spot one of those, he oozes self-importance like an overripe mango! He is upset that people are supposedly copying his material. I wouldn’t say I’m upset, I’m annoyed, wouldn’t you be if a retail magazine was using you for its main editorial ideas, if a blog you’d been friendly with for 15-years began parking it’s tanks on your lawn, because they’ve run out of ideas, and they have, seen what they’ve posted recently? Naturally, Erwin and I are at the top of his hate list. Errr, no they aint! I barely mention them these days, except in passing, or - like the other day - as part of a list of miscreants in the hobby of whom he and his self-abusing monkey are a small part now, almost an irrelevance! Erwin and I just laugh at his vitriol attacks. 'vitriolic’ Christ! Don’t use words you don’t understand! I look at his website for laughs. I’m glad to be providing them with some light-relief; they seem to have so little of it in their lives. Occasionally, he makes such an egregious error I have to make a comment. “Egregious”, ladies and gentlemen (Outstandingly bad; shocking), my crime is so severe he’s got the thesaurus out! One such error was when he listed a Remco Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea as a 20,000 Leagues figure. It took him several weeks to respond. He admitted he was wrong and blamed it on a brain freeze.

Now, this one’s interesting, I posted my ‘criminal error’ on the 28^th May 2021, I believe the turd-like entity responded within the hour “The skin diver is from the Remco Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Photo is from Kent Sprecher's site.” And I replied within a few minutes “Whatever!” and it’s still there, on the Faceplant group, so no admittance of anything, and it didn’t take several weeks! That’s a Trump trick, to pronounce a complete lie (or two) as complete fact/s! The little liar!

He then talked about the Remco Lost in Space Board Game. He had another brain freeze not noting the game pieces were pantographed down copies of the figure on the left.

Well, where does egregiousness come into it? Here’s the post, last image down the article;

https://smallscaleworld.blogspot.com/2023/12/f-is-for-follow-ups-various-recent.html

Are you struggling to notice that the fifth figure from the left (second from the right, yellow) is considerably smaller, and less detailed than the metallic blue one to its right? No, neither was I, and I didn’t think, I couldn't imagine, that you might/would need to be spoon-fed such an obvious detail?

What I said was "...a slightly damaged Lost in Space original, also Remco, in yellow" a wholly accurate description of the figure? He's calling me 'egregious' because I didn't say something? But, as I’ve pointed out before, these critics of mine hold me to a higher standard, than they hold themselves or each-other, And if you can’t get me for something I’ve genuinely got wrong, get me for something I omitted!

What an egregious sinner I am, what a fucking criminal mastermind I must be, to so deliberately withhold data from you, in the hope you will all remain wallowing in your pitiful ignorance, a pitiful ignorance, entirely of my own nefarious design, because I didn't tell you something! Bwahahaha!

And here's the thing, this is his only 'victory' in seven years, I got the name of a movie wrong? On another contry's production, of what I call 'diecast accessories'. I.E., not part of a recognised range or line of toy soldiers or model figures, but a couple of play set enhancers, from an importer/jobber, I just can't get that excited about periferal figures of a rip-off movie! AND, having corrected me he 'failed' to mention the board game so I had to 'discover' that, for us! It's all very childish, isn't it?

Another brain freeze when he listed a lead Johillco Roman as a Greek warrior.

Again, here’s the post;

https://smallscaleworld.blogspot.com/2024/01/v-is-for-vikings.html

Now, it won’t escape you notice it’s a post about fucking Vikings, not John Hill’s output! Further, I didn’t tell you about the scarecrows, or the anvil, does that make me more egregious, or does it, according to the rules he’s establishing as he goes, vomiting words uncontrollably, actually make TJF egregious, for not explaining them all to us?!!! The man’s the fucking cock-sucking, arse-bubbles of a tick-turds wet underpants!

I have explained, in several show reports, that I’m buying this cheap (50p/£1 rummage tray) lead stuff, against future posting, there’s all sorts in there, Crescent, Charbens, Britains cheap lines, Reka . . . whoever (one of the scarecrows is Wend-Al), and I’m sure that when, or, if . . . IF I ever post the Johillco Romans I will point out the anomalous figure who, wearing a smooth cuirass and greaves , while carrying - an admittedly small - round ‘Hoplon’ shield, looks more Greek to me, and I didn’t ‘list’ it, I mentioned it conversationally, on my way to introducing the fucking Vikings! And again, holding me to a higher account because I couldn’t be arsed to peruse Joplin’s tome, for an hour or two, to correctly ID everything!??

Understand this;

In December I posted a hundred articles, with fifty this month already, so, as these ‘egregious’ sins have been committed within that time, that’s a theoretical fail-rate of . . . 2-point-something%, not quite 3%? Right?

Mr. I’m-as-thick-as-pig-shit-if-not-thicker-Stadinger, has managed two posts in January (4% of my output), and got to the heady total of nine ‘articles’ in December (less than 10% of my output), a month which he bookended, by being corrected on;

•        December 2nd  - by Steve Zobel after he misidentifies Helmet spares as Historex!
•        December 26th - by Deadleaf Hairband on misidentification of Torgano as Manurba!

Are these not - in his eyes - 'Egregious' sins? They seem worse ‘brain freezes’ than mine? The man is a semi-literate, bullshitting, self-important, arsehole. Period. He is an increasing irrelevance to the hobby, and his contribution was always over-inflated, by him, as much as by anyone else. And a fail-rate of nearly 20% . . . to my less than 3%?

When this turd of a man stops making basic errors, every few posts (some howlers in October/November, I think he was corrected by his mates three times in one post) he can start telling me what I omitted to add!

And when I say ‘articles’, he re-posts new-production from the companies websites and gives us the odd loose figure., usually from a narrow band of 54-60mm. Those blue Arab things, he's shown us them twice in less than a month, they're on the company's own website, it's pointless drivel.

I wish his “loyal followers ” would send him corrections so I would not have to waste time posting them on my site. Hahahahahahahaha, that’s the sound of pomposity, ladies and gentlemen, there’s your ‘egotist’! Oh, he has a third brain freeze which I will let him find. If he does not find it I will give him a hint at the Plastic Warrior Show.”

Oh will he? Yawn! If it's as 'egregious' as the other (he's not sure on his counting either, is he?) three, it'll be a flea-bite on the arse of an elephant. At the last show, he sat in the corner, near me, looking rather tragic, like a melting turd, and I was far too busy with all the comings & goings, meetings & calling’s away, catching-up’s  and helping my mate, to be remotely bothered by that husk of a former man!

He had tried to have a pop when I walked past him a few years earlier, before Covid, but I ignored him. he emailed me later and accused me of 'running scared'!! It is the best show on earth, and I won’t let his tiny-little mind, spoil it for anyone else, including myself.

If he wants to start something, I’ll meet him in the car-park and he’ll probably die before I lay a finger on him, because he’s a walking heart-attack waiting to happen, and he’s walking in a circle because he’s already got one foot in the grave. Fuckwit, don’t talk the talk, if you can’t walk the walk!

I would like to thank Kent Sprecher for the use of the above photo.”

Yeah, because it’s the third time he’s used it, I’ve shown you seven of the ten possible figures, new images every time, and he can’t even show us one of his, it’s almost like he hasn’t got any and has to go cap-in-hand to get Kent to help him fight his war, which went remarkably well for Kent back in the Summer/Autumn of last year didn’t it . . . Hee! Hee! Hee! I notice the much vaunted, hopefully stunning article of great correction, hasn’t appeared yet?

A 'rage rampage' . . . yeah, they heard me in Edinburgh, the earthquake alarms went off in Rome, Commisioner Gordon turned on the Bat-signal, women gave-birth a week early in Caracas! The hyperbole of an over-excited fuckwit.

******************************

Here’s a classic piece of Stadinger, the lecturer, lecturing us, about lecturers, it’s priceless . . . while starting another war, and with someone else . . . it’s his only MO!

“He also earned a spot on my Ebay banned bidders. The reason is I do not like lecturers. I am not upset about legitimate criticisms. People who are lecturers are so full of themselves. They think they know what they are talking about.

He is a sad figure, he cuts a sad path, and his railing against me is pointless while he’s not actually delivering better himself? Which is not to say I don’t post some shite, but if you’re publishing as much as me, the odd duff one is of no consequence? When you’re posting fuck-all, and you still get figures wrong every few posts, people are entitled to ask why you bother at all?

It took me nearly a week to even see the garbage, as I just don’t go to Shitestuff anymore, you know? Two posts in the whole of January? Nothing of interest [to me], in either of them? I’ve done forty-odd whilst working nights and learning a new role!

All he has to do is sit on his arse, and take the weight off his heart, a bit of typing would be the only exercise he gets all day! Instead he’s sitting in a slough of hate, a miasma of envy, a cloud  of self-aggrandizement, unable to properly articulate his nastiness, but doing a good job of it anyway.

And again, I make no claims for my own sainthood, I’m an intolerant, intransigent git, especially when I’m dealing with cretins like that fuckwitted moron.

H is for Hing Fat, Not 'DGN'

The forth corrective post today, except the calendar says it's tomorrow now, but I'm on an odd timeline at the moment, I'll schedule it for 9.30 in the morning!

 

You may have encountered the phrase 'DGN' in your Toy Soldier scrolling, over the run-up to Christmas, I don't know if it was aimed at me - He has shown a past preference for warming hostilities at Christmas, but hadn't for a year or two - or just a 'brain freeze', he's good at those, and he went on to link it to a sales page clearly crediting SCS Direct (sometimes Wicked Duals), not 'DGN'!

 

Now, I dealt with 'DGN' here, I wouldn't suggest you read all of it, it was tedious the first time round, but The Denouement will give you an idea of the conclusion, without reading the tedium of how I got there! But I thought I'd correct the new nonsense while I'm in a corrective mood!

 

 

If the comment was aimed at me, it might be these lots, all recently Blogged here at Small Scale World, which could have triggered the resurrection of the phrase 'DGN' after more than six-years? All the above are Hing Fat products, advertised on their poorly attended Faceplant page and offered for trade-sale on their difficult to navigate website, which has menus which only show themselves after you've clicked on one of the headings on the left.

Basic research!

They are all based on the old Matchbox American Infantry set, with the smaller set in the lower image being those handled by such luminaries as D&D Distribution in the 'States.

While the other two samples are the newer set, from a larger line, distributed in Canada back in 2014 by Ricochet, as TJF told us himself in a post where the dreaded E. Sell said "These are the same DGN-not HING FAT figures run in different color", even though they are the same colour, and other people attending the post were happy to acknowledge the Hing Fat attribution and to them dating-back prior to 2014!

Peter Evans, roving reporter for Plastic Warrior magazine has been distributing them for several years now, and he gets them from Hing Fat direct, that's the Hing Fat who HAVE a website, who HAVE a Faceplant page, no matter how problematical they might be! And it seems SCS Direct are the latest to take some?

 

And yet, other Faceplant groups are full of 'DGN', several evilBay bottom-feeders (mostly Russians strangely?) are (or 'were', they're all banned until Putler looses the rest of his navy!) using 'DGN' in their listings.

 

But no one in the six years since my rebuttal, in the seven or eight years since Erwin's nonsense on the Vichy site, in the ten years since both types have been on the market alongside each-other, has provided a scintilla of evidence for a 'DGN' - no links to no factory, no website, no trade-ordering page or no Faceplant?

 

No address even, someone has suggested TJF said it meant 'Dounghan-Guandong Niunght', but that's nonsence, Dongguan (different spelling) is a prefecture-level city in central Guangdong (different spelling) province, while 'Niunght' is a made-up word!

I have in recent months highlighted the fact that with the second version, where sculpting has been taken away from the Matchbox originals, there is some variation in base, probably nothing more significant than different cavities in a multiple-cavity mould (by giving them different bases, you might ID the problem cavity if a problem is noticed further down the 'bench'?), which are the two to the left, but that theory is rather blown-away by the fact that they are approximately 1-in-3, rounded to oblong bases?

The older figure is on the right, or 'older sculpt', Hing Fat are still offering both, to anyone who wants them! Base-marking is the same font or letter type, but slightly smaller on the older design, and all are made of the same plastic, a dense polyethylene or polypropylene type with that slipperiness to the finger-nail of nylon components?

Shade varies slightly between batches, and with the newer design, the two officers in the bottom shot have different sized oblong bases! If you read my original post on the Japanese from years ago (the post which seems to have started the war, even though it took them four years to strike!), it doesn't read quite right by what we now know, but that's - in part - because we're all learning, and we've learnt since then.

 

They were (the Japanese) in part - pose wise - inherited by Hing Fat from Rado Indistries/Ri Toys, and seem to be on their third iteration as Hing Fat with various changes in pose line-up and base-design? And with mine in storage, I haven't paid them the same attention, the three above came in with the Americans, and probably go with them. While an 'over the top' set accompanies the new oblong-based line.

 

All my versions of the newer set so far found, and they are all Hing Fat, not 'DGN'! And while I am only too-aware of the old adage 'the lady doth protest too much' in this case A) I haven't said anything for over six years and B) you have to nip this crap in the bud, or they will try to get away with more! Tiresome, and 'DGN' is 'Design', abbreviated.

S is for Sloppy Research?

Was he going to have a pop at me, but got so old, stoned on med's or drunk that he totally forgot to? Hahahahahahaha! You can't make it up, and there he is scuttling out from under my shadow to tread on my coat-tails again! There are bars in Berlin where my arse is a bigger legend.

 

I have these, as I think I mentioned more than once when covering this stuff over the last few weeks, at the moment they are back in storage, but they'll come out again and and I still won't be that interested in the dates, except on the A-Z entry, if and or when I get around to it!

 

I also have scans of a rival publication which employed square thumbnails of the figures rather that the line-ups in these, while we covered Paul Revere here, 12 years ago - with pictures! Too funny!

TJF is for The Jabbering Fuck!

How long ago was it he last swore he was going to ignore me and have nothing to do with me? And yet there it is, another two paragraphs trying to justify his autumnal and Christmas fuckwittery! I guess his 'people' love it though, so hat's off to them . . . MAGA hats?

 

Image - Mark Hamill (yes; that Mark Hamill!)

2 hours later - That's funny, 8 direct views of this morning's Progress post, 14 direct views of this! Extrapolate that ratio over all today's traffic and you realise he doesn't get it, but he's going to keep plugging away . . . hey-ho!

PS is for Pitiful Spectacle!

Heeheehee . . TJF's decided to have a 'rack toy' day in Rack Toy Month!

How lovely . . . did I mutter something about his incredible insecurity a while back? 

Hahahahahaha!

 

I is for I'll Just Put This Up Here . . .

. . . for any self-dubbed 'legends' who might need a hand!

I love the little lecture he gave us about Britains! And for those tempted to believe his much repeated lie that I'm some sort of racist . . .

. . . what I actually said was "...you're not a fucking 'legend', you're a fucking fool!"; nothing racist there (mere factual accuracy!), but he lacks the cognitive-reasoning or logical thought processes to know a racist from a retard if he were sat having tea with one of each!

I can't believe it! Four hours later and he's gone and posted it on another site, still calling it Britains! How stupid is he? I mean he's so stupid he doesn't know when to quit! Un-ber-fucking-lievable! And tragic!

"...or someone like that" . . .he is incapable of telling the truth, when in doubt tell everyone [as fact] you 'know it's Britains because...', then, when you're desperately backtracking your arseholery; try to make out someone else was wronger! What a mealy-mouthed turd - winging-it (with the occasional fight) for 'forty' years!

D is for Dealers - Some of Them are Scum

Those who know, know, those who don't . . . can ignore this!

You lie with dogs, you get fleas.

I will never, and have never exported the fight with TJF and the PSTSM (which they started) to any other site or platform - that they are, is a sign of their weakness. Scum! Worth reminding ourselves as they struggle to post anything of merit or add any text of interest that they were the ones calling for me to 'go and do something else' a few years ago.

Later the same day - See! It'll be over 1800 by midnight, some of you love a train wreak! I bet you slow down on the motorway to look for the blood! I wonder if the Jabbering Fuck gets similar traffic boosts, there might be a reason for their continued idiocy?

In the early hours of the following morning - So that's many thanks to Fairlane Dipstick, his timing was impeccable as it took me over the 80k for the 4mil, but his judgement was as questionable as always! He's backed the wrong horse and I suspect he knows it but we are where we are and too much water has fled the bridge. What WILL they think of next? Fuckwits!

R is for Return - to Hing Fat!

It's funny; TJF has been posting the same things I've recently posted all spring and through into the summer, always following the 'less is . . . err . . . less' rule of proving with no help from anyone (despite lots of help!) that he's not a legend, of any kind, well; maybe a legendary idiot!

The funniest incident was after I did four posts on Jean Wild West and copies, only for him to show us three figures . . . in two shots! A post in which he started by hinting my theory on the moulds might be wrong, but ended-up sort of saying it might be right - in other words; a totally pointless and unnecessary post, which was dripping with cowardice, lacking any moral fibre and ethically questionable.

The weirdest incidence of which (usually it's a single-figure box-ticking exercise) was when he had two days on Hing Fat . . . because I'd had two days on Hing Fat! Insecure - or what?

Back on the 1st of May I did a post on divers which was ostensibly about the Lone Star divers and some of the copies, but we looked at a few other things, and Hing Fat got a mention, as a result there was a follow-up specifically on Hing Fat on the 2nd - always bearing in mind this is A) pretty shite 'rack-toy' stuff and B) mostly-/pretty-contemporary production.

This lead - on the 4th of May, to JTF dancing with ape-men! I've cropped this out of the website's image, TJF did the same, but cropped tight to the cavemen set, this then gave his shitter of a sidekick an excuse to wax lyrical in his trusted manner (relatively incomprehensible) about the Terracotta warriors and some jobbers thus;

"The HF figures come or show first since late 2019 with the terracotta Chinese warriors and two other rests .So far appear not be distributed here yet as far Steven international and DD distributor for main hobby have none yet ,The APE MAN appear to looks as DFC former caveman copies or extracted poses from ..

my thoughts ."

Now, the first point to make is that the webpage is actually dated . . . to January 2016 (international Toy Fair season), not 'late 2019' as he informs us with his usual as-fact making it up as he goes along again prose!

Second, the page (which is almost certainly the artwork from that year's printed catalogue) doesn't show 'two other rests' (I'm assuming he means sets), it shows eight in total.

So he knew the Terracotta Warriors were there, but forgot the rest . . . despite the fact that they were still - and remain - online? Anyway, and in the meantime an innocent (? Or plant) commenter posted a link to the webpage, rather taking the wind out of their sales, but providing the excuse for a second post on the subject, you see . . . if I can have two posts on it; so can they!

This turn of events produced an almost identical comment from the jabberwocky jerk-off, being equally as incomprehensible, yet covering the same main points;

"They looks like have ape heads in body copies poses of former DFC brand cavemen and some variation of then ,they looks interesting still .
So far main two distributor(D&D and Stevens international hobby)here have not distribute then ,but are available from Alibaba express at bulk purchase with very obscure photo again
Will see where they pup up .i’m more interested in terracotta figures set"

Now, the whole exercise raises a couple of relevant points beyond the fact the TJF often acts stupid in a post to apparently facilitate Erwin's wanking-lyrical in the comments; a sort of pre-arranged planting or reverse entrapment!

Firstly neither D&D nor Stevens are 'Main' anything, being a couple of run-of-the-mill jobbers, The main importers - were one to feel compelled to make a list, rather than just making it up as one went along - would have Imperial, Jaru or Amscan ahead of both, and - as we have seen here - the Greenbriar/DTSC cross-border partnership is another who are very busy, as are SCS Direct, Hunsen/JPW, OKK and that little group of brands round Fun Express/OTC, there's Funtastic . . . he is literally dribbling unsubstantiated garbage for the sake of seeing his own voice on the Internet!

But . . . doing so as fact, with the support of Stadinger, and as a result damaging the hobby. Damage such luminaries as Dittmann, Bergner and Carrick are happy to turn a blind eye to, in order to justify their side-taking in a war started by the two miserable muppets.

Secondly, had either of them bothered to visit Hing Fat's Faceplant page they would have found exactly how the figures look, and that they look nothing like the Dimensions for Children (became MTC) figures! This image was dated 10th May 2016, i.e. later the same year as the webpage.

Of interest to us as I think we've seen those red-yellow pterodactyls here at Small Scale World before now, in a generic bagged-set being sold at the seaside?

So, in less than 70-words, repeated twice in a different order (but equally illiterate) he manages [as fact] to miss-attribute the importance of two jobbers, get the date wrong by three years (despite the correct date being handed to him twice - if he looked) and suggest a false origin for the figures! All so that they could look as if they can do whatever I'm doing?

Does TJF think these follow-me's are clever? Does he really think they are somehow victories, of some kind? Is he awarding himself Brownie-points in his own head - toward the Girl Guide's Annual Jamboree 'I beat that Walters' badge? he didn't know an Emenee figure the other day (a couple of weeks after I Blogged the coach set - fancy that huh!), yet has been credited with being instrumental in the finding of the original information? Too stupid.

This would have scored half-a-point - had they bothered to notice it! On the same page were/are American Footballers being offered as Rugby Football players, presumably aimed at buyers from an ex-colonial, English-speaking market, despite the body-armour and grid-iron helmets!

As it happens I agree with him (the cockwackin' monkey-lizard) on the Terracotta Army figures, but anyone who's dealt with Hing Fat will tell you; you have to put in huge orders, multiples of thousands of units, so these may never see the light of day, because if someone like Bill V didn't, or BMC won't order them, no one will.

Aimed at museums, most of the bottom row on that webpage are probably going nowhere, but a large organisation like the Met' or the UK's British Museum, or one of the larger natural history museums might order enough - there's a nice-looking Mummy in the Egyptian-themed set?

The sports sets may struggle for the same reason - lack of fan-base and no one willing to take a punt, those days when the Toysaurus ordered 10,000 units of everything on the page are long gone, and people like Smyths (here) don't stock the cheapies, while Walmart, Target and co., haven't fully picked-up the baton yet.

The date was staring them in the face; they made up a new one!

The facts were staring them in the face; they invented some rubbish!

A small story was staring them in the face; they ignored it!

We are going to spend the rest of today, looking at Hing Fat stuff the derisible-duo could have run a story on, which might have scored some points, in some idiot's head.
