These are the rest of my current collection of fixed hand klickys.  The pastel guys from 1974 were supposed to be my birthday gift.  Er, they're over a month early but I couldn't put them aside & wait to play with them :lol:

 :love: :love:  They are gorgeous!

I only managed that pale yellow one recently... If I cross any others... well..

I've crushed on them for many years, so I'm thrilled to finally have some.  Their colours remind me of vintage pyrex  :love:   I hope some others turn up for you to join the pale yellow one. :heart:

Of course then they had to have their own horses (hence the horses).  I'm sure I already had 1 horse that I got with other items years ago but typically now I can't locate it (I'm certain I kept it so it must be buried in a box somewhere ??? ), I'm hoping it turns up at some point (I think it's a dark brown or black one).  It has been really bugging me where it is but I have an injury & can't move things around to search at the moment.  ::)

Those Pyrex Boys are in really nice condition and form a great set! Did they come from a Dutch seller? The one I am thinking of always seems to have loads of early klickies for sale, I wonder where he gets them?

The fixed wrist klickies have a charm of their own.

Thanks, I'm so happy with them & they are in really nice condition! Yes re. the Dutch seller & I know what you mean, they must have some good sources, they have a really nice selection of items (er, I might have another item on the way from them  :toot: ).

They really do! What they lack in wrist articulation they make up in old school charm for sure.

Good wrist action is over-rated. :toot:

:hmm:  :lol:   

I've been trying to make a decent grasshopper lady to go with my grasshopper guys. I got another head section (with the antennae) in with one & so had to make use of it.

I started with a green Victorian dress (in the photo with the 2 grasshoppers) but wasn't happy with it, so I started again.  I'm much happier with my second attempt, even though the hands are a different green than the proper grasshopper hands (I figure if their head is 2 different greens then their hands can be a different green too). 

I'll have to take a proper group photo at some point.

Both versions look great. Did you try the victorian version with the green scarf?

Both look great, but I like the second version better I think. More cheerful

Thank you! I did, didn't take any photos, I think the black details on the green dress felt wrong for grasshopper lady.

Thanks! yes! the colours felt more summery & in fitting with her!  She makes me think of illustrations from a book by Fritz Baumgarten that I had as a child. 

These aren't from the book I had, but  :hearts:  (It's no wonder I loved the mushroom building in the bunny school & the fairy set..)  In my head my bunny weirdos, the grasshoppers & fairys all inhabit the same world with mushroom buildings.
