Four figures have one kind of base, and
while the two blue ones have an eyeful of Airfix
1:32nd scale DNA, the Native American is more Britains Herald Hong Kong knife-man and I'm not sure where the
yellow guy's parentage lies, but he's not a well-worn pose and has a meaningful
stance with forward momentum.
These have another kind of base and were in
a separate pile if/when you saw them on Friday last, there's even less
recognisable here; the blue Indian again seems based on Airfix's 54mm figures along with the legs of the green one and the
green cowboy, the rest are pretty one-off?
Upper shot shows the different bases, with
one as flat as an iron's arse, the other with a built-up rim, the lower shot
shows . . . err . . . the pirate-crew Indians! I think he's (the green one) the
Britains Deetail chap with the horns,
isn't he?!
"What
shall I give him to disguise his origins boss?"
"Err . . . try a big Ottoman sword!" (also Deetail!)
"What about the other chap?"
"Try this Timpo Roman thing?"
Anyway, as the colours matched, the
sculpting was similar and they are all marked CHINA on their bodies, so it's
pretty obvious they all go together (from behind - that yellow Indian's ex-Deetail too), and make a nice sample,
Thanks again Peter.

These western figures were sold by ToysRUs in their True Heroes line of bucket sets. Before that - many years ago - they were sold in bags at Dollar Tree outlets in the US. The brand may have been Toy Major.
Cheers Dan - these are shiny-clean, so probably the TRU version, but always nice to get the brand; and even better some history!
