February 2021 Collection Time Unknown French Figure

February 2021 Collection Time Unknown French Figure, I decided to take a break from new figure news. It has been a while since I showed a few items from the collection. This came about when a friend after asking me to identified some figures from his collection. He said if there are any figures I don’t know. I replied there are many. If I do not know I post them up here for help.

February 2021 Collection Time Figures

February 2021 Collection Time Unknown French Cowboy
Here is the first mystery figure for me. It is hard plastic. I feel it was made in France. Odds are I got it at the Plastic Warrior show.
February 2021 Collection Time Unknown French Premium
This is another French premium figure I picked up in Europe. The detail is great and a nice pose. If I get back to Europe I will be looking for more from this series. The name on the front is Longues Nattes which means long braids. The company is Cafe Legal and part of a Western series of sixty figures.
February 2021 Collection Time Unknown French Bonux
If you look at this figure, you might think it is from Eldon. A closer look you notice that the base is wrong. On closer inspection, you see the word Bonux. Once I saw the word Bonux, I knew of the company, Bonux is a laundry detergent that had toys as premiums. I knew it was a giveaway from France. Doing some research, I found that there are twelve different figures in the series.
cowboy figure
This figure is from Spain. I believe it from Jescan. I like the pose of the cowboy having his left hand over his right arm.

More Figures

gas men
I occasionally find duplicates in the collection. Here I have two men from a race track crew pouring gas. What is interesting is the different colors of the vests. The one on the left is brownish-orange while the one on the right is bright orange. I wonder what other figures go with him and did they have other colors.

    The Bonux is a copy of another French figures brand made series in several poses ,Bonux copied many others as well from Spain ,the astronauts from Jecsan and others,
    The Jecsan cowboy is from second series set 12 foot poses and 8 mounted ,his finish pass hand over hammer x rapid reloads firing gesture .Funny detail almost no Jecsan 2nd series cowboy revolver has the hammer depicted .

    Great stuff! I appreciate the featuring of new plastic, and the great comments from everyone. But, it was great to log on tonight and find some oldies/odds & ends. Erwin’s knowledge is amazing.
    Wish all these figs were available in soft plastic re-casts. I’d love to paint them and use them for conversions. I Bet Greg Liska and Ed Borris (sp?) could have some creative fun with these. Thanks to Paul (and Laurie) for such a great site!

    Cool that yet another company name emerges…Toumaoulage …Moulage means “mold-making” in French. For 50 years, dentists used “algo-moulage” (sp?) to make exact dental molds. Movie special effects techs used it in the 60’s ( Little Big Man) to make exact casts of human faces—maybe Planet of the Apes, too. So why not use it to make toy soldiers ( especially if you are copying?? lol).
    I hope our European collectors can show some examples.
    Thanks for the great site!
