Just when you thought there can't be more,
another explorer turns up looking for the long-lost source of his branding!
He's a far better sculpt, being either an
original sculpt or copied from a better figure (did Heinerle or Leyla have a
chap with flap-pockets and his arms tied?), and when I first saw the images I
wondered if he might be from another set, but back home and mega-embiggened on
the old Windows-Media-thingamabob, the pink matches perfectly.
Which has got us to a seven-count - I think
- on poses now? I have seen an eighth, recently, but it's not looking quite right, so I'll
wait until an un-repainted one turns up, call me Doubting Thomas, or better;
doubting Hugh, but better safe than sorry! Still - nice to see other's picking-up
on the set!
As the set grows you wonder what
accessories went with it, other than the animals which Peter Evans mentioned
when they were first Blogged, here, not that long ago? Huts, cargo, boat? And
there must have been palm-trees?
Courtesy of Bill B comes this 90/100mm chap
from Wing Luen Plastic (not Wing Luen Foundry, although they were
only a couple of roads apart in the New Territories and may well be related),
sadly he seems to have come as a stand-alone with animal sets - no natives with
Thermos-flasks or sharp spears, but
he does accompany very nice copies of the Britains
palm trees!
Possessing some of the other items (but not
the Hunter!) I can say the 10cm is a bit misleading (it'll be a 'commercial buyers'
guideline size); the figures are around 60/70mm.
