I is for Intermediate Scales - 40mm Wild West; Atlantic Copies

Presumably Hong Kong but unmarked so no guarantee, they are however in that tinny polyethylene which was quite prevalent in the rack-toys of the late 1980's and 90's and follow the style (and size bracket) of figures from DFC and others.

Copies of Atlantic, most from Laws and Outlaws, one (lasso) from the Cowboys on the Ranch sets, the forth figure is purported to be Wild Bill Hickock and is the only 'character' figure copied from the Atlantic sets to this effort.

The colours are a greyish-white (showing bluish in the above image) and a pure white (creamier above)which seems to be the commoner, but that could just be the serendipitous or coincidental way they've come in?

The Indians also run to six poses, taken half-and-half from the two Sioux specific sets; Torro Seduto Sitting Bull (smoke signaller and the two heavily-armed warriors) and Sioux Camp. Colours are brown and blue, with the brown seeming far more common but the same caveat applies.

Some other buggers effort, painted to a 'toy soldier level' it gives you some idea of how these would paint-up - he's clearly not to be engaged in an argument!

I wanted to add an HO one, but could only find the cavalry/ACW over-spill and they have no sitting figures, so it's just Torro' himself, which is not the best comparison, as he's huge, closer to 60mm size (1:30) than the stated 1:32nd scale!
