E is for Enforce . . . Peace!

Ah yes, bringing freedom and democracy to the barbarian hordes, one invasion at a time!

Continuing a theme, and these are contemporaneous with the Woolbro set we saw earlier; real, proper rack toys I was picking-up in odd newsagents and general stores as I drove around Britain in the late 1990's and early 2000's in a variety of driving jobs or jobs with a lot of driving involved - one store opposite a car park, off a one-way system in either Uckfield or Hailsham (?) on the A22 gave-up a lot of interesting stuff, some of which wended it's way to PW Towers!

Casually branded to a 'Stonegalleon' with randomly positioned stickers, these are in every other respect generics, but a brand is a brand for labeling purposes, and I thought we'd seen my single loose example here as Stonegalleon before, but I only mentioned him in passing, so this is the confirmation!

Simple polyethylene 'readymade' and die-cast AFV's, polystyrene traffic signs and a PVC figure each, they were probably around .99p each or £1.50 at a stretch?

Similar to the named stuff from Realtoy, Smart and Supreme, and the bits I suspect to have originated from Pioneer, the figures are around 45/50mm and quite soft, and the SAM-launcher chap is referencing the Galoob-Realtoy pose. I don't think these are Pioneer production, but copying it; the camouflage is simpler that my green (believed to be Pioneer) one or the Zita imports, and they are a tad smaller, but not as small as the other Pioneer line.

The LAV-alike (bottom corner of left-hand set) is poor, while the 'technicals' are cheapo die-casts, but this Marder MICV is all-plastic and probably a poor copy of the - now quite venerable - Roco-Minitanks model? That's it . . . more peacekeepers . . . enforcing!
