Walk the walk, Captain Radar !

Captain Radar, Ball Manufacturing Company, USA, 1950's


Walkers are always interesting toys - making use of gravity, the weight fixed at the waist of the figurine would make it move forward... untill it would fall of the table or whatever other shelf it stands on. Not a lot survived all these falls !

Arcadia crew

Arcadia crew Marisse (Maji) resin, Patrick Laurensis, 11cm without base

Sometimes the most unusual figurines pop up. This one came from Pèle-Mèle, a second hand shop in Brussels. I am so glad when I can find these unexpected treasures ! A big thanks to Toki No Wa to help me figure out who made this statue.
