F is for Follow-up . . . to some stuff we just had!

When posting the 'big set' from Peter Evans the other day, I was talking from the position of thinking these had been posted previously; they hadn't! Taken almost exactly a year ago (14/08/18), they obviously fell by the wayside, so we'll quickly look at them to make slightly more sense of the other-day's post . . . and to make up for the lack of figures in the first post!

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)
