Chunky - Anything In Particular

1980s Tomy Tomytime Chunky Changers Triangle / Train No. 1055

The Tomy ("Tomytime") Chunky Changers were a range of plastic toys aimed at the younger child which were characterised by their colourful simple shapes which were capable of being transformed into various other figures or objects. Amongst the range were vehicles and animals, and this one is of the former variety. This Chunky Changer transforms from a multi-coloured triangle into a high-speed style train, complete with overhead electric section and coupling.

The un-transformed Chunky Changer measures approximately 7.5cm by 3.5cm by 6cm (3 in. by 1¼in. by 2¼in.). It's in good condition, considering, with some minor surface wear and tear and some ageing to the original white colours.

A set of six mugs or cups and saucers in a distinctly 1970s style, with ribbed surfaces and two-tone brown design, chunky build and unusually deep but narrow saucers. A genuinely unusual design with a great look to them and very usable.

The mug or cups measure approximately 6.5 cm in height, with a rim diameter of 8.5 cm and an overall width including the handle of 12cm. The saucers are 13.5 cm in diameter with a depth of almost 2 cm.

In very good condition with no chips or cracks. Marked with an impress "Made in Emgland" on the undersides of each item.

1980s Tomy Tomytime Chunky Changers Green and White Rabbit Shape

A little bit cute, a little bit strange and a little bit plastic. The Tomy ("Tomytime") Chunky Changers were a range of plastic toys aimed at the younger child which were characterised by their colourful simple shapes which were capable of being transformed into various other figures or objects. Amongst the range were vehicles and animals, the latter of which this is one - the cow (or bull, perhaps). This Chunky Changer transforms from a rectangular triangle of green and white into a recognisable rabbit, complete with ears, tongue, tail and legs. The rabbit also has googly-eyes and a small air hole at the back which, when blown into, emits a rather curious sound!

The un-transformed Chunky Changer measures approximately 7.5cm by 3.5cm by 6cm (3 in. by 1¼in. by 2¼in.). It's in relatively good condition, considering, with some minor surface wear and tear and some ageing to the original orange and white colours - the white now more of a cream tone and the green less bold than it would have been.

Heavy Vintage Rounded Square Glass Bowl with Smoked Mustard-Orange Gradient

Weighing in at almost 900g this rounded square bowl is a solidly sculpted piece of glass and certainly an eye-catching piece, possibly from Murano, but this cannot be confirmed with absolute certainty. With its very thick rounded rim in clear glass and its graduated colour which appears almost solid at the base, it interacts with light in very interesting ways. From some angles there's a mustard-like tone to the colour, from other angles it's more of a deep orange-brown, and then again, dark brown hues almost a black tone, takes precedent in the refracted colours. Measuring approximately 18cm (7 in.) square at the rim, and approximately 7.5 cm (3 in.) in height, it makes much more of a statement than its dimensions suggest.

The bowl is in generally good condition. There are some minor grazes and surface scratches throughout but no chips or cracks and there's nothing that immediately catches the eye in a detrimental way. A little stunner, albeit a chunky one!

1980s Tomy Tomytime Chunky Changers Orange and White Cow Shape

A little bit cute, a little bit strange and a little bit plastic. The Tomy ("Tomytime") Chunky Changers were a range of plastic toys aimed at the younger child which were characterised by their colourful simple shapes which were capable of being transformed into various other figures or objects. Amongst the range were vehicles and animals, the latter of which this is one - the cow (or bull, perhaps). This Chunky Changer transforms from a rectangular block of orange and white into a recognisable cow, complete with ears, tail and legs. The cow also has googly-eyes and a small air hole at the back which, when blown into, emits a rather curious moo-like sound! Okay, it's actually more like a kazoo... it's cute, anyway, trust me!
