Basic Line Corp #F002 Cowboys and Indians (Hong Kong) - New Set for My Rack Toy Collection

Well, you guys already know that this year has been characterized by Forces of Valor WWII figure sets and The Flintstones toys. However, that doesn't mean I haven't been busy with my other collections. Case-in-point: this Cowboys and Indians header bag set from Basic Line Corp (Hong Kong). I'm guessing that this was probably late 1980s - 1990's based on the article below from BASIC LINE CORPORATION in Vernon, CA | Company Info & Reviews:

The set was one of those "I'm broke but I still want to buy something" deals, and header bag or rack toy buys are a good way to satisfy the itch!

Forces of Valor (FOV) / Unimax Deep Dive: Pt 91 Set #93604 (2007) US 82nd Airborne Division (with Medic) Pt 5 Pose 10

This Medic, as well as the wounded soldier that is also in the set, are the perfect adjuncts to the Forces of Valor / Unimax diecast ambulance set (which I don't have - yet!), and is finally a break from the standard slew of poses that came in these sets.

Adventures in Chat GPT - A Moldy Slice of Cheese Fail

Wellll, ya gotta try. This was one effort that turned out to be kinda funny. Taking a photo of a Tri-ang Prospector on a Tri-ang vacu-form base, the first photo was quite good just as is. There was no Photoshopping, just a bit of tweaking with the brightness and contrast, but otherwise all in-camera.

So I thought I could get perhaps a landscape that had a bit more texture. I loaded the photo into Chat GPT and gave the following prompt: "retaining the original color palette, give the landscape more texture".

What I ended up with looks like a crumpled-up piece of moldy Swiss Cheese (Edamer for you purists) with a toy on top. 😂😂

Live and learn.

Okay, you've seen him before, you're seeing him again. This series is drawing down and will probably linger on most of August, then after that...

...after that? I have no clue.
