To all intents and purposes these are Starlux clones, but a couple of them are
those poses which several Franch makers seem to have used, but the bases are Starlux'y so we'll call them after-Starlux French Foreign Legion for now!
The camera's flash has destroyed my careful
arranging of the camel-dung yellow ones from lightest at the top to darkest at
the bottom, by cutting through the varying patina's and revealing only two
variations! The three shades of gray have remained true however.
Also Starlux
sculpts and four colour issues so far found, we've seen the originals here in 20 and 30mm I think. The last one is
a very odd pose (does anyone actually march like that?) which I don't remember
from the smaller versions.
Although unmarked, the figures are in a
very Rado type of polymer (tinny
polyethylene) and seem to share the same plastic colours are some Ri-Toy production, I'm not saying they
are (although I'll tag them as such to 'cover the bases'), just that it helps
cement the probable Hong Kong connection?
Rack-toys, wherever they are from, and
common enough, I've been picking them up in small lots for at least 20-odd
years? The upright marchers are 50mm and err . . . that's it.
