anyone remember seeing these toy matches?
was cleaing out my kids' stuff when I came across these plastic toy matches (why aren't they banned in western countries? I'm certain they were bought in TRU...I cant remember if I bought them :P)
anyway, they'll be perfect for smaller hair buns (for Asian kids & my medieval koreans)
....for size/scale, I just posed a Chinese general with them

Hm, I've never seen anything like that before, cheng, but I can see how they will be very useful to you. It surprises me, too, that they should be on sale in a toyshop where young children could buy them without their parents knowing.
You ask why they aren't banned in western countries - does that mean they are in Malayasia?

probably bought in Malaysia (cant imagine this being sold in Australia etc).
but HK toys (in those days, none from China yet) were poorly moulded, so these quality would have been made for the West
...I frequented toyshops ever since I was a teenager and these matchsticks wont sell unless its associated with some kind of costruction game (not an Eastern thing ;) )
so I asked, hoping someone might have seen them somewhere ;)

Will be looking forward to the new buns!
I've never seen those matches before either :o

thanks Tahra...and new buns coming soon! but its not the 'popping' that made me think of popcorns :P

I definitely cannot imagine those being sold here! But they look absolutely perfect for your use!

I just don't see what use they would have for children. (I can't see the fun of using them - it's not like they light up or anything.)
The fact they are black plastic makes them blend in (unless you paint both?).
-
thanks bb!
I hope I dont ever have to find some more of these match sticks
....if Eastern kids wont find such 'toys' interesting (they rather play with the real ones :lol:)
and stores in the west wont carry them, its a mystery who they were marketed for in the first place :P

any such board games? ...they took the trouble to make 4 of each colour which is not enough to use as 'money' ???
"paint both" WM?

finishing soon....maybe I should have put this on 'making of' :P
I think some of you might scringe...MODs, should this photo be censored (from kids)?

I finished all the 7 hair buns last nght (broke 2....when I hammered the square pinheads into the buns, they split at their mould joint lines...I'm against gluing them on a pin head...maybe a drop of superglue might do ti :hmm: ) btw, the korean archers are not new ;)

Part of me hoped after reading "hair buns" that there was custom Princess Leia.
But they are cool for what you needed them for. Your customs looks so professional.
I've never seen toy matchsticks with black plastic ends. I used to have toy matchsticks that were just the wooden bits, and we used them to make crafts. Maybe they're part of a game? I tried google, but only came up with the ones used for crafts.
