About Me

My photo
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

Hassens, Gaston

Brussels, Belgium
 
Tel: 02 / 295.50.84
 
Early Belgian collector, offering lists to a select few. I believe the figures in the below link are from his collection, and with others remain part of the collection of the Musée de la Ville de Bruxelles (aka - La Maison du Roi (The King's House [Palace]) - Brussels City), although apparently in reserve storage, rather than on display (2026)?
