Speaking of George Erik as I was...er...n't (Reamsa figure in next post below!); as well as designing for Reamsa, George also designed for various UK manufacturers and often re-used a pose. One of the more original poses from his hands was the crawling figure from the Turkish WWI set, and it also got re-used for the Reamsa US Cavalry set...
...and for the Kentoys set of three Space Police Commandos. This is a hard lot to track down, I photographed this on Adrian's stand at a show, the set was only three poses, with a further three 'Terra Nova' figures, the whole to enhance the Dan Dare set. The Terra Novans don't seem to have left the factory for retail (they can be seen in one or two of James Opie's books - as he owns the test-shots. and the Plastic Warrior Kentoy special), while the Space Police Commandos only got a limited distribution.
Paint's poor on this survivor, and the disc shaped badge on the shoulder should be yellow.
I like your title. Rare as Rockinghorse shit.
ReplyDeleteThis model does seem to be rare indeed. Nice photo!
Hummm...methinks you flatter m'Lady! But I think I used 'H is for Hens Teeth' a few years ago!
