Another figure

I recently added another figure to the "family", a carved figure by Bob Scott.  The figure was made in 1975, but apparently got little use and was stored carefully as the figure is like new.

I watched this figure listed on ebay three times with the price being reduced three times, finally down to 175.oo with no takers. I don't know what people are looking for in a figure, I've watched them pay as much or more for obviously lower quality, almost mass-produced figures, but this one.......... I'm glad though as I ended up with a quality figure at an incredible bargain price.

Anyway, as I said, it is a carved figure with the standard slotjaw,  side-to-side moving eyes, and a handshaker that works easily for additional animation.

The body is well made with a carved shoulder and overall, very solid. The arms and legs have sufficient stuffing which I often see lacking in many figures.

I've named him "Paul M. Dickens" and he is destined to be the never ever heard of sixth Beatle.

Later.
