Readers’ Friends’ Figure Photos Dom Star Toys one thing I enjoy about this site is people sharing items from their collection or found. One new reader has some interesting Dom Heinerle dwarves. Rich Fisher had a question on a Zorro figure. Detlef and Erwin share some items so let’s get started
Readers’ Friends’ Figure Photos Dom Dwarves
A new reader to our site Erik Vingerhoets came to my site in search for answer on some mystery figures he had. He asked me about them and I was happy to answer. After a miscue, I realized the figures were dwarves done by Dom Heinerle. This was a company that did figures in surprise bag with candy similar to Cracker Jacks in the states.
There are six figures in the series. Detlef Heerbrand had called them Lucky Man when I had one missed identified as Linde. The curious thing on these figures is the color. the figures have been seen in white and red. the other colors are a mystery. Is it new production? Hopefully, we will find out.
Readers’ Friends’ Figure Photos Zorro Figure
Rich fisher send me some photos one was this Zorro with a whip. He asked me if this figures was a Starlux Zorro. I replied that it was not. The figure is by Cofalu of France.
Rich also asked me if they did another pose beside with a whip. I send him this one from my collection with a sword. Also, I advised him it is not an authorized Zorro figure. I learned this years ago when putting one up on Ebay. Zorro Productions sent a Vero notice. They claimed it was not an authorized figure so I took it down. Later I sold it as a bandit with sword and had no roblems.

Detlef got this bell boy figures do you recognize it?
Erwin took a quick picture of the Star Toys Viking ship. You can see it is similar to the one Peter Bergner showed in his finds. In the previous posting, Erwin talked about the castle when it was used by a different company. Star Toys used swoppet knight while the other company used copies of Cherilea and Crescent.
the castle was used twice by same company just with different set figures.i send picture of this playset outside box where show both ships in photo of it.ship is about 5″ long.
