S is for Short & Sweet!

Cobbling the Torgano post together reminded me these had come in a while ago and while we've seen the sculpts before, and only five poses have turned-up so far, they are unusual in being apparently newish, unmarked and soft polyethylene.

Al-Ca Capell; Alca Capell; Capell Space Toys; Capitaine Video et ses Equipages; Captain Condor; Captain Video; Comic Characters; Dumont Plastics; Exploradores del Espacio; Guerra Interplanetaria; Lido Atom Cannon; Lido Plastic Figures; Lido Plastic Toys; Lido Pursuit Ship; Lido Rocket Tank; Lido Space Toys; Lido Troop Transport; Lion Comic; Lunaticos; Lunatics; Moon Men; Marcianos Martians; Moon Shot, Patrulla Saturno; Post Captain Video; Post Cereals; Post Raisin Bran; Reamsa Plastic; Rex Jouets Space Figures; Rex Mars; Space Academy; Space Patrol; Techni-Plaste; Terre Earth And Mars; Tom Corbet Space Cadet; Trovadore Space Toys; Winco Condar; Winco Condar's Interplanetary Spacemen;
The old Lido sculpts variously known as Captain Video, Winco Condar, Patrulla Saturno, Moon Shot, Exploradoes Del Espacio, Missile Patrol, Lunatics, Interplanetary Spacemen &etc.

It's clear there were several tools in various scales and on at least two continents over the years, and clearly some survive as we've had shiny re-issues from Reamsa here at Small Scale World already, but these have the larger bases of the old Lido/'Winco' figures and are - as I said - blank.

Also they may just be a near-mint but vintage shop-stock (they are a bit dusty in close-up) rather than quite as current as they look?
