March 2025 Plastic Figure Showcase, as the weather is getting better and I am starting to get out figures are starting to come in. Next, we have a message from Expeditionary Force on price updates and other news.
March 2025 Plastic Figure Showcase New Figures
I was able to get to a source who had held some items for me. Among a group of Mokarex figures were some interesting other foreign figures. The first is a Charbens hard hat diver. This is a hard figure to find. One friend it might be from metal mold.
Another surprise was these Gem Spanish dancers. I wonder if they were done because of Britains dancers. Correction from Barrie Blood and Peter Evans.
I am very tough on what I keep for myself. The Lido West Point cadet and the Timmee sailor were leftovers from lots I separated. The Processed Plastic Cheerleader I would have normally placed it in the junk bag, but I liked the paint job that someone did. The Britains farm figure I did not have and decided to add to the collection.
Starlux did some interesting pieces. One is these birds on perches.
As I mentioned earlier I acquired some Mokarex figures. One of them is Tinville, who was the public prosecutor of the French Revolution Reign of Terror. This is an amazing piece with a table in front. why the previous owner painted the eyes I have no idea.
In the lot was this young boy playing a flute. He is by Elastolin.
Finally, we have these bathing beauties. I wonder if they are cake decorations.

We have kept prices stable over the Covid period. Times are difficult but prices are creeping up. We expect 2025 to be tough.
There will be no new product release in February 2025 due to the Chinese New Year holidays. We are preparing to start toolings for 54 USM 01 US Marines at assault. We hope to get the set released by late March 2025 , if not then in early April 2025.
Also, please be informed that due to my health and medication, the amount of time that I can spend in front of the computer is very much reduced for the present moment. Accordingly, my response to non-transactional matters would not be very prompt. I seek your kind understanding and indulgence.
The Spanish dancers are GEM figures and are cake decorations
The Spanish dancers are by GE Models (Gem)
Designed by George Musgrave who sculpted a lot of the Crescent ranges, hence the confusion
The dancers might fit well with a Zorro set.
The boy with flute was made by Elastolin from 1965-69.85
