These are they, the top three are the poses
we've seen before here, the lower trio are 'new to Blog', colourful, around
35mm and a soft vinyl-like polymer.
They too (mentioned in the last post) have
things in common with the Tiger/Strawberry
Group stuff from the 1990's, credited to Supreme, but that doesn't mean I'm saying they are SP Toys, just that they are of that era/oeuvre,
not least that Halsall carried the
smaller copies and also carry copies of Supreme
knights!
On the right of the clone-pairs are the Halsall copies and you can see they are
a bit smaller and thinner all-round, (classic bad-pantographing), but follow
the paint-scheme closely, apart from the base-wash. In cases like this they are
as likely to be contracted by the originator of the donors as they are to be
illegal copies, but again; I'm not saying that's the case, there's no evidence,
either way.
They are scaled to go quite well with the Toy Bank vessel Peter Evans sent to the
Blog last Christmas, after I had shelfied it; too tight to buy one!
Incidentally, there is a similar vessel
appearing on feebleBay and Amazon at the moment, with two 54/60mm pirates, there are
several deals, all 'buy it now', at least one direct from China, the others apparently UK clearance/wholesale type eBayers/sellers and all between 5.99 and 10-quid
odd, well worth a look, I was tempted and they may be here for next year's
ITLAPD!
