MODELS AND COLLECTABLE MAGAZINES: ARTHUR IS BACK!


YEAH! YOU WANT HIM? I KNOW I want him! But sadly, he...gone! ☹️😢 This neat little figure of Peter Cushing as 'Revenge . .  Dead and Walking' Arthur Grimsdyke from Amicus films, 'Tales from the Crypt' 1972, was made by Readful Things, as a static figure mode and presented as a 'collectable model in it's packaging' for display on your shelf or display case only. NOT for playing with 😉 . . a one of a kind sculpted piece, has no moving parts & should remain in packaging.




BUT HOW NEAT is that? Sadly, out of stock and unlike Arthur, probably never to return. It's a great figure that captures one of the rare times Cushing wore THAT kind of make up. A job that both he and master make-up artist, Roy Ashton, loved creating. The 'Tales from the Crypt' story is a firm favourite with many, BUT sooooo hard to endure and watch. 'Snifffffff!. . . Gosh, it's sad. A bit like this figure, a missed opportunity to own 😢 What do you think?- Marcus : MANY thanks to Rob Shaw who posted the link to us earlier 😉



A FUN DAY HERE and at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE,yesterday! We celebrated #worldbookday, with some interesting comments and messages. No doubt you may be wondering where the #PCASUK #competition is for winning those cracking Cushing books???

THAT will be posted tomorrow 😉 'Issues' on this side of the page, has delayed it, my apols. Meanwhile, today over at the  FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE still on the subject of paper matter, books and mags... I've been asking, if you can recall what was the FIRST book or mag you bought with Cushing in it... that you purchased because he was the reason??? Going back a bit huh? No prob if it has long gone, but if not snap a pic I would love to see it and attach it to your comment.
 

ABOVE HERE is mine. Purchased after my loving Gran bought me two Famous Monster for my eight birthday 😊😄 I bought it, at the wee age of 13 years old, from a REAL dodgy newspaper shop . .. a LOT of top shelf oddities.. cough... in Blackpool on holiday with a Aunty, as you do 😝😜😆 .. I wandered in not knowing WHAT kind of magazine store it was! Well, THAT'S my excuse. 😉 What it was doing in there, on a carousel rack, I have no idea. But this well worn magazine, went with me everywhere for a long time, school, visiting family, church (HA!) I still love it and the cover is amazing 😊 Next, I asked everyone, What did they buy and lets see?? There were some great mags!
