Kinder Egg Discovery Collection Time, I discuss how I found out about Kinder Egg and share one of the interesting items that they have done. We look at some items from my collection. Finally, we look at some copies of the Jean Hoefler Indians.
Kinder Egg Discovery Collection Time Figures

Jean Indian Copies
Jean may not be the most loved figures out there, but I do appreciate how they always had loads of poses and thought of interesting things like the torch he’s carrying. Did any other maker do that? I know there’s the flaming arrow pose for Ideal Injuns.
Yes JH 25 poses Indians no counting semiflat poses set are very well done poses.
With torch several European makers have done then.There plenty in Spaniard makers, least 7 poses as far I recall.

The copy sailor of Starlux – Maybe Feral from france
Thanks, Pascal for the information.
The royal figure looks like Henry the Eighth.
The Jean Indian figure I think is not carrying a torch. I think it is a scalp instead unless I am wrong.
It sure could be a scalp! I guess it depends on how you paint it up. The scalp at least wouldn’t be catching his feathers on fire!
The figure has an scalp and direct base in elastolin alike pose.Yet as Greg says it easy may resemble a torch as it has a long handle section plus very up in the air unless he is waving it at exactly moment.
So the scalp was wrong depicted as contrary to Elastolin ,many french brands and British brand figures w scalp in hand more accurate made.
Reamsa made one w head and other w scalp as well plus one w torch too.
There even rare figure of Buffalo Bill w indian scalp on hand made by Starlux i think.
My thoughts
Best.
The royal figure is Henri the IV , King of France by SEGOM, one of a series of historical figures of French Kings and Queens
Thanks, Peter, I have no idea how he came part of the collection.
Love the Kinder egg Fantasy figures. I do have some Kinder egg figures but not nearly as many as i would like including these 2 figures. I think many of them are quite hard to find these days?
Off Ebay there are a lot but often listed as not Kinder because Kinder per say was one sweet candy chocolate makers/saler and the makers of these figures were by RES or other toy makers.
Sellers list then under surprise toys or often under other candy brands with who they relation it .
Prices not cheap, often ranging from 10.00 USD or more per figure.

There’s a cool set of recast Reamsa Indians that contains a chief figure wearing a headdress, knife in one hand, and holding an entire decapitated head!!
