N is for No Indian and Three Cowboys!

Picked these-up right at the end of the Plastic Warrior show; from Barney B as he was clearing up, cost a pittance and this is the post they were destined for! I think we have looked at one - loose - in a post rounding-up various examples of these HK knock-offs, but here they are on the card.

Presumable you either got three cowboys or three Indians? There are quite a few of these swivel-waist types, and they come on various horses, so without a sealed, card like this they are just 'mush' really!

Not sure who provides the original of the horse, or the rider, but I know it's not Rel who used (fifteen/twenty years ago) to get the credit for any HK horse which wasn't obviously Britains, Elastolin or Marx! If anything it's all a bit Lido-like with shades of Tim-Mee, Lido did similar swivel-waist figures as well, but not - I think - a two-gun pose?

Bit of a box-ticker, so rather dragging the arse out of it with this shot, but it's typical of how Hong Kong got the horses to stay-put, by shoving their legs through little-slots in the backing card, you see the same thing (we've seen it here at Small Scale World) with the small-scale Giant and Giant-like production too.

In this case the separate header-card is stapled tight to the figures/bag stopping them sliding out of the slots and moving about.
