For many of you I expect you are unfamiliar with the works of Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin. Their work was a staple, along with Thunderbirds, of my youthful viewing schedule. Charming animations made by moving pieces of painted paper around.
Nogin the Nog was one of them. You can read a little about it here.

Why am I bringing this up? Well a friend of mine, David Wood, had a Kickstarter a few years back to produce a set of figures based on the series. And rather nice they are too. They are on my to do list for this year. As a plug you can buy them and many more lovely things here…
Now Mr. Wood has a new Kickstarter for some totally not related at all fantasy football teams.
These do look rather lovely and if you are a fan of whimsical sculpts, especially of Martin Buck, I would recommend you have a peek.

What a great range. THey are quirky and fun if a little pricey.
Sadly out of my price range at the moment. Until I get a job everything nice is off limits.
I think we have all been there. Good luck with the job hunting.
