Plastic Figure Showcase May Figure Collection, since it is a little quiet, I decided to dip again into the collection. It is interesting how you remember to get an item into the collection including after going to court.
Plastic Figure Showcase May Figure Collection Time
After the court case, we went to a hobby shop ( now closed) and I bought this figure. It is a Chinese copy of an Elastolin Indian firing pistol and knife. It was one of two Elastolin composition figures I got on a trip to Philadelphia as a child. I will show both versions in a future post.
Hunter w dog is by BLUE BOX.
Best ..
I was going to put down as a Blue Box figure but I got diverted.
The resin “Crockett” figure is from Conte. Part of an Alamo gun crew. Could be used as figure stabbed in back by lance. Looking close, he’s holding a cannonball. I’ve been chasing these resin figures for a while. Conte is listing this and the rest of the gun crew right now. There are similar resin figures from the Alamo sets; some dressed in buckskin, most dressed in 1840’s style. I’m collecting the latter, and after some conversions, turning them into ACW Quantrill’s Raiders. To my knowledge, no company makes Missouri Bushwackers and their nemesis, the Union Red Legs. So, I use western figures, and alter the equipment to fit in. Any suggestions about which figures would be suitable for my latest project?
Thanks, for the correction. I had someone else make me aware of my mistake as well. I will post your request in the next article.
I got the Indian figure plus others from a company in the UK called Tiger. I think the company comes from Denmark they have a lot of shops here in the UK. But they do not sell them anymore as I bought those from them a few years ago when they first opened.
Actually, Paul was correct. David was Jiminy’s older brother.
