Lots of hats
« on: April 24, 2013, 16:22:56 »
I've been buying various lots lately, containing assorted things I will need for this summer's exhibition, but this lot which arrived today (along with 9 other parcels  ;D ) was particularly exciting for me.
A lot of over 100 hats - I do have lots of hats in my spares box, but here there are some quite useful ones -



but the ones that really made my day were these -



I had been looking for the yellow one for ages and thought that it was in the lot when I bid on it, but didn't spot the other two. 
I have the lady and the man, so can complete them, just need to find the boy now - so if anyone has one spare ...  I have plenty of hats to trade  ;)

Wow that's a nice win! Its always great to find something special in a lot isn't it- especially if you suspected it might be there from the listing picture! I like the gold fireman's helmet. I love that tiger mask from (I think) 3026- is that the other mask (green dragon helmet with eyes) from the same set at top right?
As far as I can see (manual search of set pictures on PlaymoDB), the boy who wears that sailor hat came in these two sets. I hoped I might have him as a spare but I don't think I do, sorry. :(

hey Elaine, that sailor boy's hat could be 20(?) years old....Its amazing, how white it still is and the sticker still not faded, the owner(s) probably never played with it ;)

Indeed, it looks so new! What a lovely hat collection, many of those would go into my "want!"  list :)

What is the pink one, in the center of the image?

Great lot! That sailor hat (and boy) have been on my wishlist for a long time. I got the blue one not too long ago.

Nice lot of hats.  I love the beefeater wooly hat.   I know what you mean by finding extras in a lot.  I bought a used union artillery this week via kijiji and when I picked it up the lady said her son never really played with it and all the cuffs and collars are still sealed in their original bag!  It was a good $8 spent!

The right hat can change the appearance of any figure!  Great buy Elaine.  You should have a lot of fun creating new new looks.   ;)
