Welcome to Plastic Land : The Gay Horse




Welcome to Plastic Land, 

a fake world I created made of the best molded plastics ever. Here everyone gets along. You see, there are no fights over politics. No fights with the rulers of Plastic Land. They are all unpaid volunteers. The townspeople are happy to pay their taxes in plastic coin. The economy is good and there's plenty of plastic money that is housed in an authentic "Plasticville" bank.  When they run out, much like the real world, they just mold up some more.

One of the rulers in Plastic Land, Gigi the Clown. Buy him from DoNotDestroy on Etsy.



They've become Eco Friendly in Plastic Land. Waste products are re-molded into something else plastic so the land is really pretty here. The plastic robots who work in the factories (as the jobs are plentiful) have found a way to recycle pollutants from the air into plastic plant food. Plastic fish swim in plastic ponds and a plastic sun shines down upon the world of Plastic Land. Better yet, Plastic Land has not had to enforce or enact any real laws because everyone's so happy that crime is nill. Gigi the Clown is growing large because he hasn't had much crime to fight lately. In a top secret interview, Gigi hinted, "Sure,we do once in awhile have fake plastic fights or disagreements, but if anyone gets really harmed in Plastic Land, they go the Emergency Plastic Hospital and get all fixed up.  If they don't like the way they turned out, we just re-mold them into something else. No biggie."



Cowboy and Indians can be bought from DoNotDestroy on Etsy.



In Plastic Land you are free to be who you want. Never are there comments about your weight or what type of music you
listen to.  You can wear whatever you want when you want. Stay out as late as you want. Date whomever you want. There's no judging based on your plastic weight, chemical composition, color, make or model number, nationality or creed.



Won't you stay awhile with me in Plastic Land?



In fact, I think you were here once, when you were FIVE years old. Do you remember playing with your plastic toys unknowingly worried about the affairs of the real world?  Back then you didn't have to worry about work, or debt, or politics. You played with these little toys without a care in the world and in Plastic Land, it was all good. Oh how did any of us ever leave this place?



Welcome to reality: Innocence Lost.

Long Live the Plastics Fantastic.




Plastic Toy Guns Bang Bang

Novelty dimestore toys, I guess you had to PLAY RESPONSIBLY. Love these vintage toys, which are fantastic plastic. Imagine gussying up your teddy bear lone ranger style...make a cowboy, or use for party favors at your cowgirl birthday party. These tiny cute plastic mini cowboy guns are from yesteryear, I found a case of 'em in unused stock. Some people use them in arts and crafts, others collect them.They are tiny and colorful, approx 3.5" wide by only 3" tall. With Plastic balls that are ammo. Definately not safe by today's standards...

Russ Wallace Berrie Oily Jigglers Collection

Hey, check out these cool little oily rubber guys circa made by Russ & Wallace Berrie.



This picture was sent to me by Erik Sheets, he collects these rubbery guys. With names like Sarge , Hopeless, and Squiry Wormy these oily little suckers can grow on you if you look at them long enough.



Erik says, "These guys were made of an oily rubber from 1965 - 1971. They are about 3 to 4 inches high, not so little! " Erik is missing a bunch for his collection so if you have any for sale or come across any please drop him a line here.    Have you seen them?  Did you have them as a kid? Leave a comment and tell us all about it!
