Here is a copy of the Lido Arab standing firing rifle. The figure is larger than the regular Lido Figure and stands 2 1/4″ tall There is a tag on the figure that states it was made in El Salvador in 1981. On the other side of the tag it states Foreign Legion so very likely there are other poses. I could have gotten it years ago at Plastic Warrior show. It is the only one I have every seen.
Basa.Perú factory.i got the ffl and Arabs and sold several at nj show in 2002 and 2003
The ones from Salvador were cloned by factory from Honduras under name (aventuras Sol).I still have the lido cloned ffl.the mounted was change as a flag carrier
Nice !
Other than the flash looks pretty good, I like the color.
this ebayer seller on eBay has several mold from mpc/else copied and cloned by BASA from Peru in the late 70’s that were also copied and /or sold to other central America and south America toy factories in the 80’s and early 90’s wile Basa size scale is about same as former molds in some cases they increase size of figures by few mm and change some poses. Specially in lido FFL as they uniform was great to be used for the Peruvian/Chilean war

Erwin, you sure are a wealth of knowledge! I’d seen the MPC copies and wondered who would bother, but you solved it.
Greg, thank you…I know a bit about central , south America, and china/Korea/japan, toy soldiers/about Europe and else the credit should go to admi and others…
