I didn't have three Wild West posts for yesterday, I had two and this, which ties-in nicely with the earlier post from Mr Berke, as this too is a tub; albeit a smaller one! A reappraisal of what follows may suggest Hing Fat for these too, the colours are quite similar, but it hasn't been tagged as such?
They go in the same-packaged line as/with
the Wild West set I've already posted (if I haven't I've definitely taken the
photographs, ages ago, so it's in the queue somewhere!) and came from one of
those strange farm-shop/gift-shop/convenience stores attached to an
architectural salvage and builders merchant's on an old farm yard in the middle
of nowhere, South-West of Oxford; I think it was also a garden-centre, storage
facility and general auctioneers! With a pet-groomers . . . or hairdressing
salon?
Four foot and two mounted, with one of the
foot being an ex-mounted pose, all taken from the old Marx 54mm set, the standard bearer and the two foot figures on the
right being the lest changed/mucked-about with (see here, about half-way down
this page)
and that's it really . . . new horse, with no furniture!
From both sides; they are what they are -
rack toy shite for infants, in a tub! Imported from China by Padgett Brothers (A-Z) and titled Super Hero Army.
But in a sand-pit on a sunny day, or on the
beach, they're almost as cool as a real knight turning-up on the doorstep, and
that's the joy of childhood - greys & blues versus reds & yellows
anyone? Bagsies the white horse - it might be Gandalf's!

Hugh, the horses look like copies of the old Multiple Toy horse.
Yeah! You're right - I just saw your email! Well that's boring, I thought at least a part of it was unique! hey-ho!
Cheers
