T is for Ten-more from Toyway . . . and a Farm!

Continuing to look at the sets of ten, rather casually posed, but likeable and well sized, separate-base imports from Toyway today. I think this may be it as far as my collection goes - to date. We've had the Romans and Greeks and a few of the medics, I'm not sure what else I've got, or what else there was!

A group shot, down by the banks of the Nile as they wait for the Royal Barge to tie-up and start issuing orders. As with the other two sets, you get ten figures, but here each is in a different 'uniform' and there are a wide array of bronze-age battle-implements on display, even if some of them are painted 'iron-age'!

Detail shot of the figures from both sides, the chap in a cloak may represent a priest of some kind, while only one of them is equipped with a shield. Another has a sectional armour 'bodice' and they are quite colourful, albeit - not in a hurry to do anything energetic! They'd probably go well in Atlantic chariots though, sans bases?

Quick comparison with various other older figures, although - as you can see - some have been re-issued in recent times with the bottom row being two old and two new Cherilea with two Marx (original on the left and Mexican (?) reissue on the right) flanking a Jecsan (late, polyethylene - so I know it!).

A very odd conversation elsewhere (you can guess where; False Information Central) the other day when several people (some of whom should know better) seemed to be trying to discount some of Toyway's oeuvre; almost willing them not to be, err . . . because they didn't like the logo!

Richard Morris' Letchworth, Hertfordshire-based import 'jobber', Toyway, predated its involvement with; or purchase of moulds from; Timpo, and this set of imported sub-Blue Box farm 'generics' carries the same logo as the space set welooked at ages ago;  believe, people - believe!
