These 'Soccer
Championship' rack-toys follow a time-old pattern of large scale football
figures; previously Hong Kong, now 'China' - when I worked for a toy dealer we
would often get this type of figure in, sometimes with a kicking-action. These
don't seem to have a kicking-action, but they are well detailed sculpts (in at
least three poses), with swivel-waists and moving arms.
We seem to be looking at a Dutch
'International' with Brazil and Scotland (?) on the card art. It would be
interesting to see/know the whole line. It should also be noted that the two on
the card-art seem to have had a better decorative regime than the one in the
blister, although 'Brazil' seems to be wearing blue-suede loafers! Pester-power
shut-'em-up crossed with cake decoration!

Kids in the US are behind this tub of Soccer Guys, not the best sculpts and a
limited pose range (three players? Plus goal-keeper's and referee). Also it's
hard to judge size, but they look like they would go well with either of the
Styrene cake-decoration sets we looked at in Part 3, depending on size?
Probably the smaller HK ones?
The yellow and blue skin would need paint!
