From Ideal in 1976, it's JJ Armes! He is "The World's Greatest Investigator" due in great part, no doubt, to "his interchangeable BIO-KINETIC HANDS". And on the package back Ideal includes a comic strip to show those hands in action! This is so fun. I wish toy manufacturers would do things like this today.
Though, reading the comic, I wonder why he chooses the hooks over the human hands for working the computer. But, hey, he has the BIO-KINETIC HANDS experience, not me! And we do find out more about his name: "Jay J. Armes".
We also found that Ideal did make a Mobile Investigation Unit vehicle, though it was actually just the 1973 Evel Knievel Scramble Van with new deco.
See the package front here:
It seems to me that many artists today (in which I include myself) are investigating the present via the parts of the past that were sidelined as lightweight by the so called higher culture.
Perhaps a kind of rearview mirrorism, an attempted retro-pop culture reification - the past, paradoxically, is/was more real in part because it formed the ideas of the present.
If I'm at all right it might indicate that, rather than a flight into hipster nostalgia for a past never experienced by most, it's an expression of a sense of inauthenticity within the present popular culture and a search for what has been erroneously discarded.
(Please bear with the clumsiness of a half formed new year idea.)
My first time ever at this particular stretch of coast at Howick Haven and i proceeded to get soaked by rain and covered in mud walking back to the car.That said,i saw enough potential for photography,so 24 hours later i was back and very pleased i was.
i covered just about every square inch of the rocks to the north of Sugar Sands and had the time of my life.
i just love being on the Northumberland coast,there is something about it that makes me return,time and time again.This is an absolute gem of a place,rocks that lead out into the North sea were being exposed by the retreating tide and i found myself walking further away from the shore in pursuit of more shots.
This is a must do place on my sunrise list,it has so much to offer and is backed by the fantastic landscape that is Howick Haven,ideal indeed.

Vision conceived as "transparency" is the Buddhist ideal: "as one sees through clear water, the sand, the gravel, and the color of the pebbles, simply by reason of its transparency, so one who
seeks the path of liberation must have just such a clear mind."
The image that illustrates the manner in which an ascetic apprehends the four truths of the Ariya is this: "If at the edge of an alpine lake of clear, transparent and pure water there were to stand a man with keen sight looking at the shells and shellfish, the gravel and the sand and the fish, watching how they swim and how they rest; this thought would come to him: 'This alpine lake is clear, transparent, and pure; I see the shells and shellfish, the gravel, the sand and the fish, how they swim and rest'”.
In this same manner an ascetic apprehends "in conformity with truth" the supreme object of the doctrine. The formula "in conformity with truth" or "with reality" is a recurrent theme in the texts, like the attributes, "eye of the world", or "become eye", or "become knowledge", of the Awakened Ones.
This is naturally an achievement only through a gradual process. "As an ocean deepens gradually, declines gradually, shelves gradually without sudden precipices, so in this law and discipline there is a gradual training, a gradual action, a gradual unfolding, and no sudden apprehension of supreme knowledge."
Again: "One cannot, I say, attain supreme knowledge all at once; only by a gradual training, a gradual action, a gradual unfolding, does one attain perfect knowledge. In what manner? A man comes, moved by confidence; having come, he joins (the order of the Ariya); having joined, he listens; listening, he receives the doctrine; having received the doctrine, he remembers it; he examines the sense of the things remembered; from examining the sense, the things are approved of; having approved, desire is born; he ponders; pondering, he eagerly trains himself; and eagerly training himself, he mentally realizes the highest truth itself and, penetrating it by means of wisdom, he sees." These are the milestones of the development.
It is hardly worth saying that the placing of "confidence" at the beginning of the series does not signify a falling back into "belief": in the first place, the texts always consider that confidence is prompted by the inspiring stature and the example of a master; in the second place, as we can see clearly from the development of the series, it is a matter of a provisional admission only; the real adherence comes when, with examination and practice, the faculty of direct apprehension, of intellectual intuition, absolutely independent of its antecedents, has become possible.
Therefore it is said: "He who cannot strenuously train himself, cannot achieve truth; through strenuous training (an ascetic) achieves truth: therefore strenuous training is the most important thing for the achieving of truth."
Naturally, there is here an implicit assumption, which we shall discuss before long in detail, an assumption, that is to say, that the men to whom the doctrine was directed were not entirely in the state of brute beasts: that they recognised, not as an intellectual opinion, but through a natural and innate sense, the existence of a reality superior to that of the senses. For the "common man," one who thinks in his heart: "There is no giving, no offering, no alms, there is no result of good and bad actions, there is no this world, there, is no other world, there is no spiritual rebirth, there are not in the world ascetics or Brāhmans who are perfect and fulfilled and who, having with their own understanding comprehended, and realised this world and the other world, make known their
knowledge" - for such the doctrine was not considered to have been expounded, since they lack the elementary quality of "confidence" that defines the "noble son" and that is the first member of the series we have mentioned.
Such men, according to an apt textual illustration, are as "arrows shot by night”.
As for the preeminence accorded (in a pragmatic and anti-intellectualistic spirit) to action in the Doctrine of Awakening, we quote another Buddhist simile. A man struck by a poisoned arrow, for whom his friends and companions wish to fetch a surgeon, refuses to have the arrow extracted before learning who struck him, what his name might he, who his people are, what his appearance, if his bow was great or small, of what wood it was made, with what it was strung, and so on. This man would not succeed in learning enough to satisfy him before he died. Just so (says the text) would a man behave who followed the Sublime One only on the condition that the latter gave him answers to various speculative problems, telling him if the world was eternal or not, if body and the life-principle are distinct or not, what happens to the Accomplished One after death, and so on. None of this—says the Buddha—has been explained by me. "And why has it not been explained by me? Because this is not salutary, it is not truly ascetic, it does not lead to disgust, it does not lead to detachment, it does not lead to dispassion, it does not lead to calmness, it does not lead to contemplation, it does not lead to awakening, it does not lead to extinction: therefore has this not been explained by me”.
In the opposing theories regarding the world and regarding man, characteristically reminiscent of the Kantian antinomies, either one opposite or the other might he true. One thing is certain, however: the state in which man actually finds himself, and the possibility of his training himself, during his lifetime, to achieve the destruction of this state.

I was told a day prior about this Prairie Dog colony, and visited the site with a friend to check it out. This day was not ideal for photography... we waited out the rain showers. But we did discover more than a half dozen Owl families in the area, mostly with visible young. This burrow was closest to the road... we shoot from the car. (I returned the following morning with better lighting and binged on Owlet shots!)

Vintage Bat Figures from the "Captain Action" line.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Wayne Foundation, Batman now has an official vintage Ideal cape.
Batgirl is actually Misty with a repro belt, cape and gloves. The real Batgirl doll is hard to find....and not cheap.

I mean, sure, mufti works for me, I dig mufti, in fact mufti is my middle name, I was born mufti, I go mufti any day of the week, so you won't get any argument from me as far as mufti goes ...
but hey "bring a bottle"?
to school??!
mufti or not I do not fancy seeing kids getting sloshed, sh*t faced, excuse my French , kids on the sauce, even on mufti Friday, is not ideal...
what next? "bring your joint"? "roll your own Friday?" "magic dragon Thursday'? I mean that is a step too far folks!
Well it has been far too long since I had any fun time, 7 months or so. Of course when you do get some time it all tends to be over all rather quickly.
My fun time was stopped dead in the tracks because I could not find my tripod - will the person that borrowed it please return it? As it was I reverted to pre tripod days and got out a cardboard box couple with the ironing board. Not ideal !

1960's Vintage Ideal Tammy Family
Tammy's sister Pepper doll
She is 1965 pepper with slimmer body than the 1964 pepper
Good to redress these two. I love their blushy cheeks and red lips. The background is a from a vintage Sindy cardboard house (the kitchen).
Unique in the world, the Ideal Palace has inspired artists for more than a century. Independent from any artistic trend, built with no architectural rules, the Ideal Palace has been admired by the Surrealists and is considered as an Outsider Art work. He has been classified Historical Monument in 1969 by André Malraux, French Minister for Cultural Affairs at that time under Naïve Art

Here is most of the the Zeroid Action Set.
I know it did come with one Zeroid. Has the Solar Cycle.
Which is the yellow wheel.
Then the Missile Defense Pad. When a Zeroid rolls up the ramp and runs over buttons it releases and launches the three missiles. This is missing one missile.
This Set predates the Commander Action Set.
