Waddington's
Table Soccer carries 28/30mm statuette type figures
of footballers which we looked at just over a year ago, the 'master
collection' is only a bag of oddments which have come in, but there is a boxed
set somewhere in the garage along with a set of the next lot (below) so we'll
return to them here one day for completeness sake!
I think the yellow and brown figure is an
early goalkeeper, but the other may be home painted, and I can't remember if the
black ones are referees or late version 'reduced paint' goalies? Another reason
to return to the set when I find the big boxes of games!
As a playing mechanism Camelot is a sort of simplified draughts (checkers) / fox &
geese hybrid, but with the kings present from the start! These are the 'pawns'
and are a reasonable 25/28mm-compatable knight, relaxed, in full armour, there
are ten each (of both colours) of them and I bet a few of you have some of
these in your junk, WTF or TBS (to be sorted) pile!
The 'kings' are closer to
15/20mm-compatible for those looking to beef-up their armies with unusual
figures, and you get four of each, this one is an earlier version on a
double-plinth base with ogeed edges, manufactured in a softer polystyrene or
phenolic of some type, compare with the sharper single disc in brittle 'kit'
polystyrene above.
Again I have a set somewhere, so I'll
replace the vague description with something more solid when I return to them
someday.
