B is for Bloody Big Blow-Moulds!

Brian Berke sent these to me the other day and they went straight to the top of the queue!

US Marine rifleman stabbing downwards with bayonet. We like a bit of blow-moulding here at Small Scale World and it's been awhile since we had some, does anyone recognise them or have a branding for them?

A flamethrower operator, bunker-busting in the World War Two Pacific theatre  'Island Hopping' campaign; he's got the same weapon Action Man carried on the heath in my childhood!

Both figures have substantial scenic bases with flat-bottoms so probably stand-up a little more easily that the three smaller 5/6-inch ones of mine we've seen here in the past which require careful placing and my holding my breath before I take the shot!

I tried to work out the scale from the Crescent 'berserker' Brian posed with it and they seem to be 170+mm or around seven-inches! I suspect that between parachute toys and beach toys there are quite a few of these out there, so I'm sure we'll visit them again! Cheers Brian - Brilliant!
