Getting rid of the parcel box ASAP and putting the toy boxes next to the open window has helped a lot but still smelling smoke. Toy packaging must be binned. Will take toys out later and smell them. Hopefully they are ok.
Fuck sakes.

*opens toy boxes*
Fuck me, these reek too. The toys are sealed in plastic bubbles so they should be safe.
My hands honk from touching the boxes!

Boxes binned and toys removed.
Ok, I have sniffed Richard Hurndall and the three Daleks and they seem fine.
Thank fuck for sealed bubbles!

I asked Mrs Ralph to sniff Hurndull and the Daleks and she concurs they just have regular new toy smell: no awful smoke smell.
So glad they were on sealed bubbles. If they had been fully open packaging Transformers they would have had to be binned.
This wasn't just a wee smoke smell. Fucking unbelievable!!!

That is just rubbish. Mind you, smokers never seem to understand how offensive their habit is. However I have sniffed Richard Hurndall t-shirt! |

I did have fun pushing Daleks along my desk at work though. The Hurndall face sculpt looks off in pictures but is amazing in-hand. And he has the fingerless gloves!!!!
Someone needs to make him a sandwich accessory.

A parcel has arrived from somewhere near (but not) Manchester!
Pinwig has Remembrance Daleks from Ralph's B&M!
Up yours eBay scalpers!
Hurrah for the Daleks! Hurrah for Ralph!

I like the fact that the set is called
DR WHO REMEMBER THE DALEK
On the receipt.

Yup. That's why I put the receipt in! So funny.

Pics of Movellen figures are doing the rounds though it is unclear if they are older prototypes that didn't go to full production, customs or a leak of a new B&M set. Hmmm.

That would be nice. Destiny has had a truck load of figures released over the years. The Movellans are about all that's missing apart from Tyssan.

£15 posted is really good. That is tempting.
Why is that tempting? I already have that set!

How many would be suitable? What qualifies as an undersea base full?

I think 9 is a good number.

Indeed. Although you can go old school with two versions of the 70s Sea Devils, complete with string vests.

I've got one of them somewhere but lost the weapon a few house moves ago.

I've got one of each version. Should have bought more. That original Sea Devil was in the very first retail wave of classic figures, so he'd have had a bit of the Giant Robot with him too.
