Is he an orang-utan or is he meant to be a prehistoric
hominid of some kind, or is he actually a Yeti / Abominable Snowman (and what
empirical evidence is there, prey - for their abominable character?) / Big-Foot
/ Sasquatch type?
He's marked RD in the center of his shoulders, running down the spine; which
could be an abbreviation for Registered Design, and while I
thought that was stretching it a bit, there's not much else?
He's carrying two rocks, one in either hand
and the impression is - he's gonna' crack some fucker's skull, gezzer, j'a-know-what-I-mean
. . . 'e 'aint messin'!
Chalky 'early British' type polyethylene
soft-plastic, he could be Spanish, or there's a Charbens, even Cherilea-like
sculpting to him?
Compared to the Timpo one, you can see he's not even that close (as I keep saying; I
was late to this large-scale malarkey . . . and later-still to a Timpo orang-utan!), but in the same
54mm/1:32nd scale-range and he's a mean Mo-Fo! Can anyone help with this chap?

Well I don't know who he is but my first thought on seeing an orange orang-utan was of course 'Trump?' but then I looked closer and realised my mistake....it's far too muscular and as a plastic figure infinitely more intelligent.....
Hugh, pretty sure it is from(or copied) from a Charbens lead mould. Also I think Wendal had a flocked one which was very similar. Not sure on the RD mark though.

Hugh, checked the most recent PW Charbens special and he is on pages 32 and 36 in full colour glory. Looks to be the same paint job as yours.
Cheers Chris
So I was just being an idiot . . . cheers Chris, I was tempted Steve!
