Odds Ends Figure PreviewsAllentown Toy Show 2021
The Allentown Toy Show is one of my oldest and closest toy shows. Normally I get over on a Friday on dealer setup. This year I had other commitments so I went Saturday. I got to the show fifteen minutes before it opened. In the old days, the line would be around the building. This year I was able to go into the lobby and wait with other people. The show opened promptly at 9 AM and headed to see some old friends Bill and Rich Kozlowski. I had not seen them since the pandemic started. After a brief chit-chat with them, I began my hunt. My budget got chopped as a source clued me to the stuff I like. So I was careful about what I purchased. My first purchase was Marx Civil War characters figures from Kerry. He had a good show so far and only a few common playsets left.
The next purchase was the above Schylling Robin Hood set. The figures were made by S.P. Factory better known as Supreme. I have the figures from a playset. I was informed by Erwin these sets were out in the 90s’.
My best purchase was a bag of figures. Besides four of the MPC XL5 character figures the bag had a Palmer shark and skin diver. I also got a Britains U.S. Army recoilless rifle and cannon for very reasonable prices. I was an hour and a half and left. One note Mike Russo was not at the show.
Great photos (and figures)!! You made some nice finds. Thanks for sharing these, Paul!
Wow! Once again Mars are making some truly original figures. Great additions to the ranks ?
Does anyone have any of the Schylling Robin Hood sets they would sell ??
