Andreas’ first question is the cabin on the left. He was wondering on who made it. He included as reference a section of Lido Fort and Dulcop Indian. I told andreas that it was similar to cabin I bought last year. It was made in Mexico. 
The next question Andreas had was who made the large figure on the left. It is missing a weapon. It reminds me of a series of figures that were done 20 plus years ago. There were two series American History and Biblical Figures.
He acquired this jeep. On the bottom it states Empire made. Empire made indicates that it was made in Hong Kong. The jeep looks like it was based on Thomas Toys.
Here we have English Bobby directing traffic and a soldier laying firing. Andreas wanted who made these figures.
On this photo Andreas ‘s question about who made the horse. He put a Plaho cowboy beside it for reference. 
Beside the English bobby we showed before we have a train person to identified. 
The llama and zoo keeper? are they Benbros or Taylor & Barret?
We have two wrestlers one on the right is Hulk Hogan. I do not know if these figures are authroized or not.

Here is a Jescan Rin Tin Tin Rusty. Spain did a number of foot and mounted Rusty figures. I do not know of any other Europen coutry doing Rin Tin figures. 
SIMEX anmimals, not Dom or Leyla as some people think. The deer is on a composition base as a souvenir from Segeberg. Segeberg is a district in Germany. The lion is for comparsion and is possible from Bonux. Bonux is a company in France.
The last one is one more question. This time it is the cowboy on the left. Who made him. Pioneer on the left is Charbens.
The cabin is made in Hong Kong; first under Blue Box and integrated in two fort playset sold by then with swapped early Huron type Indians(I showed here in a post ) and fort.It was reissued under Star Toys brands and in different colors.They are base in Jean Hoefler style but not direct copy and much smaller non quite in scale with 54 mm figures but more with 40 mm scale.
The Indians swapped used sold by BB and Star toys were post here by me .

It had been generic copied used by other HK sets since 80s .It consist of 5 parts interlocking with small pins in holes and the doors should not open and close .
The early material one made (70s) had tendency to crystallize and brake easy
I have both playset in cases and may supply photos as well 4 extra cabin.

The prone firing Zulu War British soldier is from AIP. Here is a picture showing the figure in tan plastic. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/72/5d/d3/725dd39111a378a2ad862109c3689667.jpg
Thanks for the update. andreas thought it might be AIP.
The policeman directing traffic is by CAVENDISH, they made a second policeman walking. This is the uniform worn by the Met police from 1948 until 1980.
The Llama and Keeper is by Taylor and Barret, or Barret alone after 1968. The cowboy going for his gun is an adaptation of a hollow cast figure by Harvey.
The early Harvey plastics all are moulded in a waxy ‘nylon’ style plastic. These were produced before they had the contract from Lone*Star to produce plastic ranges.
The Jeep is early Hong Kong. “Empire Made” was used in the early days to avoid the assumption that anything in Hong Kong was cheap trash. There was a cream version of this jeep with the figures in white plastic with a trailer attached to the rear
The Mongol manufacturer was New Ventures they also made American Heroes and Heroes of the World two figure packs/boxes many shown on eBay.
Thanks for the name. It is so long that I have seen those figures. I had them and sold them but cleanse them out out of my collection due to their size.
