Too big for his boots ... well one boot anyway!

Ok, so he might have only been around a few days, but he is already causing trouble!

He has already claimed the lounge as his own territory and is planning an assault on the study next!

I was going to make some more of his friends to keep him company, but not sure now as he will probably want to take over the whole neighbourhood!

Aye Aye Captain!!

New Aquisition!

Look what turned up at 7:30am this morning! As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it... I havn't had time to clean it up or anything yet, but apart from a few small missing pieces it all works fine.

It comes from (or was at least made at the same time as) the display in Hamley's, London in the Summer of 1989. You can see an article in the 'Bricks 'n' Pieces' magazine that Richard highlighted earlier here:

Like other display models the limbs are held on with wing-nut fixings which can be tightened and loosened to allow different poses. The pistol is removable and is Red because Brown bricks were not used a lot at the time.
