Who are you or the vintage job lot unveiled.
I got these rather cheaply with a view towards some restoration work over the coming months and because some of the figures were interesting looking-
Now for a closer look at the figures. Any comments, identifications or ideas most welcome.
Lovely haul, a Plastic Warrior show in a box here, with some very gentle fragile plastic repairs required! Many of the others you will find Identified here http://www.heraldtoysandmodels.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=128 if you look through by search keyword
An interesting haul Alan! The West Point Cadet band are Timpo, the three horse/life guards with missing arms are Gemodels, and were made as cake toppers.
The Confederate is a conversion, the blue spaceman was made by Crescent for Kellogs and came in cereal packets. The sportsmen are by Marx, the Matador is by Reamsa (Spanish).
The FFL and Arab in blue plastic are Cherilea, the three painted FFL and most of the other Arabs are Timpo, the two unpainted FFL are quite rare figures by Speedwell, the interesting Indian is an African warrior by Lone Star. Napoleon I can't quite make out.
Hope you are moving forward Brian. The cake toppers are quite charming. I still recall a sixties birthday cake with a Spanish renaissance swordsman lunging on one leg with his rapier and morion. As ever you are a fund of knowledge, thank you. I sometimes wonder if something is quite rare whether or not I should repaint convert them but I think I like the idea of them getting a game as the overriding reaction.
The renaissance swordsmen you mentioned are probably Johilco / Cherilea / Monarch here in the Herald toys web shop archive http://www.heraldtoysandmodels.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?&products_id=3277
Space figures for starters

I wondered if they might go with the Timee Space figures I found when she’d sorting .

The bandsmen are almost crumbling when touched, especially their bases. I feel I need to stabilise them and then see what wire etc will do for them...
DeleteFinal one for the day - bottom photo African native? Lone star http://www.heraldtoysandmodels.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?&products_id=2602
ReplyDeleteInteresting, I was sure he was what I identified him as but see I was wrong. I will have a think how best to employ him.
