A fun bag for pennies; these are probably all Dulcop Charlie Kit figures, but could equally be copied piracies from Hong Kong, the Soviet Union, Hungary or elsewhere as they all had a pop, and might be Kinder specific production, rather than the mini-boxed Charlie originals? Clockwise from top-left; The workbench might go with one of the Charlies? I hadn't considered it before, I have one with half the vice in the odd accessories zone, it's been there for years but I never really gave it much thought but there were a few other bits in the Charlie bag and this might have been one of them? Next to it is a winding mechanism . . . from a Kinder toy?
Three hollow-cast figures I nabbed from Mercator Trading's cheapie-tray, two sailors and a highlander, makers to-come when I've checked them against Joplin's book and re-Blog them in something more thematic!
A large Easter chick in two-part glued polystyrene, a Roche Fees premium lamb and a Ripley from Alien, who I thought might be 3D printed when I saw her in a rummage tray, but who seems to be more commercial? If she'd been resin and grey or white I might have hazarded the guess of Reaper Miniatures, but in this rotten-lettuce green polymer she remains a question-mark for now, but a really nice figure around that 28/30mm size.
Finally a bunch of animals including a Kellogg's Rhino, and a Merit bear, except I recently noticed Merit seem to have provided their circus/Noah animals to a Coco-Pops cereal premium line (also Kellogg's) toward the end of their existence, which may explain some of the colour variations?
From the left; Cofalu/x French Foreign Legion above ann Auburn Rubber farm maid, late mono-coloured Comansi G.I. and a open-bottomed crate from a large-box or rack-toy play set, I suspect.Two late Hong Kong'y versions of Waddington's Little Bighorn cavalry officer, with below a selection of die-cast 'mocherette' figures (one Kinder), an AHI sourced Japanese copy of an SAE crusader, a war games grenadier and finally, the laying figure seems to be a civilian sailor, possibly a copy of a plastic kit figure, but just what you need for a Craftline balsa-kit!
To the right we have two of the Jean Napoleonics, I recently learnt were
imported into the UK back in the day, in this unpainted state by Plastic
Warrior magazine, both above a pair of the Starlux farm we looked at the other day! I have seven of the eight Jean's in the stash somewhere, but I can never remember which one I haven't got, so there are various odds kicking about now, in the hope that one of them is the missing one!
