Talkers are impressive to me, not only by the size but because they appeal for the real antique retro syle of the Golden Age of Toys, for a time that everything was done manually by craftsmen...you know what i mean.

everything...including Toys!

Yes, very true. The proportions are quite naive (nothing related to the diecasts, for example) Very ofthen these vynil toys were made the old way, piece by piece, in a rotating "vinyl injection" device. Colors were later on applied by hand mostly - so none is exactly the same. I really like the charm of these. I have a number of these on my wish list - but they are quite expensive... Thank you for your feedback and Happy Christmas to you and all your family!
