Plastic Figure Showcase June 2018 Part Two Tarzan, Copies Tarzan
Lone Star of the UK made a Tarzan figure that is hard to find. It was copied a number of times in Hong Kong. It was painted purple to be the Phantom of the comic strip. This is an earlier version of the copy. Later versions are of a lighter flesh color. I will photograph that version soon. 
Next we have a 2 1/2 inches possible copy of Elastolin cowboy. There is no markings on the bottom.
Here is a reissue of the Cherilea bucking horse. Cherilea did several one piece figures.

I like to get figures with cameras. They show how much we have changed of the years. This figure is using a movie camera. He is from Hong Kong by a company named Landy.
This figure is from Blue Box. The figure is holding a box camera. I am waiting for figure with a mobile phone.
Plastic Figure Showcase June 2018 Part Two Tarzan, Copies Swoppet Style Indians
Britains popularize the swoppet style and then abandon it. Other companies continued doing them. Here we have a 54mm Indian from Hong Kong. 
This is 60mm Indian chief firing the bow. I get a kick out of the silver hair. This is a Italian figure. I believe the company is Texas.

Starlux did a number of pirates. This is one of the many figures they did.
Finaly we have a mystery. This is hard plastic spaceman. It is based on a Lido figure. Now I have to figure who made it.
The “Elastolin” figure would make a good Georgie Russel figure.Whenever I find a Cameraman figure I repaint to make a Combat Cameraman figure.I have a figure which now I can’t remember where I got him is in Civilian clothes,no hat holding a movie camera up to his face but he is wearing a pistol belt!Since re-painted and now working the streets of Hue during Tet.
The Box Camera figure would look good in a Diorama with Marx Untouchables. Taking a photo of Al Capone or Eliot Ness.
