At first glance he looks to be slightly
better sculpted or finished, but a closer look suggests he was probably poorly
pantographed and then over-etched to re-establish surface detail? The drum's
carrying-strap is vastly improved over the donor's and the left stick is
extended while the hand's position is changed slightly. A heavy base lifts a
much smaller figure and he looks to be relatively chalkless, so could be quite
late . . . 1970's even?
Minor British make? Premium of some kind?
Another of these BR Moulds Plastic Warrior has been
tantalising us with . . . they mostly have thinner bases, but the ex-Airfix paratrooper has a blobbier one?
Even a Hong Kong copy with a fort set of some kind? Thinking of the Tom Smith re-use of Kellogg's Thunderbird figures (Crescent),
could he be a cracker prize?
It's plastic, so it was mass-produced,
there must be more out there! Other poses?
