Zoo Enclosure
It is perfect for a zoo enclosure.
Since I have the Airfix Zoo set this will come in handy.
It was not expensive and it was the only one they had.
It came just like this and they did not have anything else like this in stock.
Here is the Airfix 1/72nd scale sea lion ready to jump in for a swim.
Now the Airfix polar bear is in the water.
So the sea lion is back out of the water.

Swimming and Beach People
I also need people swimming for James Bond, since many of those books and movies take place on the water.
And finally, I am doing cities for the 20th and 21st Centuries and that means beaches. This is one set of swimming people. They are listed as being the odd scale of 1/75th scale. In reality there are a few that are about 1/87 and a few that are about 1/72 with others in between. I got two of these sets and the figure poses are very random in each set. This shows all the poses I got between the two sets, each set had at least one of each pose, and as many as 9 of another. They are good enough that I plan on getting at least one other set, perhaps two. Some of the swimming figures may be converted into scuba divers with the addition of fins and tanks, and probably spear guns.
These figures are: szzijia 100Pcs Swimming White Model People Figures Scale HO-Perfect for Recreation & Sports Swimming (1:75) that I got on Amazon.

The Tiki Lair
The giant pineapple and leaf fronds came from Dollar Tree. The figures are Airfix Tarzan, and the vehicle is Matchbox.
Perhaps this is a fast food kiosk, with a little step up for the customers to talk to the man inside and take their orders. Or is it the lair of the criminal coconut The Tiki!!??
The Tiki runs a fleet of "legitimate"??? catering trucks with a Polynesian theme. Is it a front for The Tiki, or has The Tiki infiltrated a legitimate business?Drummers to entertain the diners, or loud noised to confuse and confound the Dynamic Duo?
Only time will tell, citizens.

Petco Tiki
The fish and reptile sections often have buildings, ruins, and rocks that are perfect for wargaming.
I got this Tiki at Petco recently.
As part of my Batman 66 collection I am building all the villains that appeared in the TV show.
And all the villains that appeared in the Batman 66 comic books.
And I have added one more villain of my own called The Tiki.
He is a Hawaiian themed villain who will hit Gotham City like a hurricane and destroy it like a tsunami.
This hollow tiki is about five inches tall, is fully painted and has two massive jeweled eyes, just the thing to draw a super-villain to the museum that houses it.
Stand by for more King Kamehameha Mayhem!
