Sell Toy has come up with two more exciting sets of figures. These two new sets have been made exclusive for Sell Toy by Amex.
The first set is Aztecs and Conquistadors. The set has eight figures in eight poses plus one horse. The figures also has eight separate weapons. The figures are 60 to 65mm.
The second set is six pirates in six different poses. The pirates come with six different weapons. The figures are 65 to 70mm.
These figures will be available on EBay or at Sell Toy web site.
Cool !
Interesting figures, the one Conquistador looks a lot like a Timmee knight and the one pirate resemble those Roche figures. Nice addition though none the less. I like the Aztec chucking the spear and the pirate with the peg leg.

Erwin and I agree with you that the company that made the figures copied or was inspired by other companies. This is a whole sub genre you could collect. Spain copied a large number of the Marx figures. I once had a Spanish copy of a Beton figure.
The figures are a nice addition to any collection especially the Aztecs.
Yes ;some of the pirates (no all) also resemble Tim mee(less fancy) poses and Pecos too, two Spaniards are original-exclusive poses, but mounted is definitely very close to one mounted timmme knight but with a different helmet/head. (Horse too is very similar to tim mee ones); Aztecs are original as far I know. The plug/swap in weapons made then more interesting in my opinion too.
Nothing wrong with being inspired by other companies figures in my opinion. Manufacturer’s often just add green stuff or some other method to make a new figure from an existing pose. If you look closely at Conte, Barso, Armies in Plastic and Paragon figures you can spot poses they have just changed a bit to come up with a new figure. I believe Marx did this too in some cases. I certainly understand why they do it and nothing wrong with that at all.
