My most recent trip to Poundland confirmed what I had heard through comments on the blog late last year, that my penny dreadful figures of 100 for a £1 (a penny a figure) was now 80 figures for a pound.
It took a few extra weeks to make it to the Southwest but the 80 figure tubs have finally arrived.

Eventually in a few years we will just have 50 figures for £1 and they will become Tupenny Dreadful, twice the price they were last year but still reasonable conversion material.
My “penny dreadful” nickname for them came from my delight in Battle Game of The Month blogger Ross MacFarlane’s comment on the original pound store figures before I set to work with paint, pin and scalpel conversions that I have featured on previous posts. More figures on the painting table at the moment to share with you soon …
So even though they are now one “penny and a quarter dreadfuls”, still good play value for money.

This is going to be the future Poundland / pound / dollar / euro store challenge that eventually £1 etc will be worth very little so all their packaging and contents are shrinking. Hence the new OMG £2 luxury Poundland range …
