Obviously the new - mid-sized - polyethylene
figures aren't here, but the other two types are, and this is otherwise a
duplicate of the fuller image we saw last Friday.
The original larger sized figures all share
a base-marking/code which is the same on all the poses unpainted and some of
the painted ones. It reads MADE IN CHINA 593 - [A-F] with each figure possessing
its own (cavity number?) code; 1-6, the numerals reverse-stamped and matching
the A-F
The exception - some of the painted figures
lack the main mark - I don't think has any significance, but if the other
(currently marked) poses turn-up similarly blank, or if the same (unmarked)
figures turn-up with marks it may point to multiple contracts, one of which might
have stipulated no marks? All the smaller yellow/black ones PVC aren't marked,
neither are the new polyethylene ones in the previous post.
As to branding, the large PVC sets were
originally handled by Ackerman here I
think (who have a history of importing from Supreme/SP
Toys), the tank we looked at - shelfied with the larger painted versions - was
Ackerman or HTI (but I can't find the post), while the base numbering is
similar to some stuff contracted by Toy
Major, Strawberry Group and Tiger (again; all known for connections
with SP Toys), so I'd expect them to
turn up in Shilling sets and possibly
past Tobar output? They're not rare!
The smallest set (black and yellow PVC) got
their own post I think, but I can't find that either (did I forget to tag a
rack-toy post in the past?), and the new ones were posted with some tenuous
branding on Friday last)
