Hong Kong Swoppet Western Other Things, I start off with a photo of some Hong Kong Swoppet figures I picked up. Next, CS Ako shares two photos of the Cherilea cowboys reissue. Gary Dibelo has made a funny cartoon. Finally, I give an update on me and my experience with Laurie’s bill from the emergency room.

Chintoys Rumor
We are getting rumors that Igor Bassevich has shut down Cintoys and Engineer Basevich. We do not know if this is a temporary situation or a permanent one. We will keep checking and let you know what we find out.

Hong Kong Swoppet Western Stad Update
I appreciated all the people who are concerned about me. I am doing fine. Right now I have been busy taking care of Laurie’s estate. Also, I am cleaning the house. It is something I have done before. One of my friends was upset about my beard making me look like a homeless person. I got a haircut and a shave the next day. So I look like my old self again.
One of the things I was amazed about was Laurie’s medical bill. She was in the emergency room for four hours before she passed away. The bill was $40,000.00. Fortunately, the insurance kicked in and brought the bill down to $26,000.00. Of that amount, the estate had to pay $170.00! This was less than the estate paid for the ambulance service($265.00).
I hope it is only temporary shut down for chintoys. I like all there figures and was hoping for me
*more.
For the jeep pic, “Look Ma, no hands!”
MPC guys had to be ready for anything at any time – depending on color or accessories they could be soldiers, farmers, firemen, spacemen, etc. They were a versatile bunch. I wonder how many MPC vehicles these figures drove or sat in?
I know these guys – and the guy with the “hollow” butt rode in everything I had – including Marx vehicles (kind of big but…)
…and wagons.
