As a follow-up to another Bible Toys set he sent which we saw a
while ago (Noah I think or was it JC himself), we have David and Goliath with
other sets illustrated on the blister's backing card.
They all look a little Euro-Caucasian for
Arabs, an excuse you could justify explain in the past when the whole of
Western civilization was a war-loving, patriarchal, colonising, Pope-driven, racist,
Christian cult, but these days they really should know better!
We've seen these before, both sides of the
pond, under about five different brandings. Peter Evans sent one to the blog
which was more of a candy-premium? Here under Hunson's moniker and four figures to a card, they are
second-generation copies of the old Supreme
sculpts - which also got several brand-outings!
The bowman (who also came with the candy set) is
arguably the poorest pose in an otherwise reasonable group.
Graphics are odd - even by rack-toy
standards, with the figures suspended over a lava-lake held-in by a glowing-red
'Berlin' wall??? Wild Willy's Gun Shop
is clearly some portal to Hades, or the ammo-store just took-off with a bang!
These look very familiar, are they the sets
we saw in Plastic Warrior magazine a
few years ago (issue 159 - back issues avaiable) as US Toy from
Les White? I think they are, you also see them from time to time on evilBay in
sets of 12.
Now, they are six-pose sets, but there are
only five in the bag, so you would have to buy at least two sets (four in this
case as the firefighters come in red or tan), but as JPW they are likely to be
so much cheaper than as US Toy or feebleBay's £$€6-something+postage,
that it looks a good deal! The other set which comes in two colours (not in the
PW article) are the soldiers who
come in tan or green.
Many thanks to Mr. Berke - all useful
stuff, especially if you are over the pond.
