A quick return to some figures we first visited back in 2012, possibly the first TLAPD (not sure in had gone 'International' then?); Hing Fat, except that the figures I was then told (2012, two years into being a larger scale collector) were Hing Fat are probably the donors for Hing Fat's simpler set . . .
Being the seven figures to the left of this shot, the rest (blue, red and mustard yellow) are definitely Hing Fat, several of the Toy Soldier shops on-line still have them in stock. This follows the pattern of Hing Fat appropriating contemporary Hong Kong or China stuff and putting it out there again, worse.
The better and slightly larger ones will be someone like Rado/Ri-Toys (Hing Fat pirated their Japanese), Yat Ming or well . . . there's 'undreds really?
Hing Fat on the right, their NASA astronauts in grey were poorer that someone else's donor, as were their take on the MPC spacemen and they have copied several generations of ex-Airfix Cowboy & Indian, which their rivals have copied better!
I've kept photographing them as they've grown, along with the doubt as to the original set, so here's a bunch more images, these are Hing Fat, not the better ones!
