Which may be the sighing-yell from The Good The Bad and The Ugly, I'm not sure if I got all those 'a's in the right place?!! Just a quick follow-up on the Argentine Tarzan post of the other day (two posts down the page), and to welcome the Blog's newest fan, Mr. Incognito? Those who know; know, hee-hee-hee!
Friend of the Blog Gisby pointed out a marked similarity between the
Marx Indian with knife and the various Argentine iterations of
Tarzan we looked at the other day, and I thought I had one here for a comparison shot, but I only had the
MPC copy (far left here), so the one on the right is from Worthpoint, and while it may not be obvious, there is, in other shots, from other angles, a clear resemblance between them, the Argentinians having raised the arms, while MPC move a leg slightly.
I'd also forgotten how big the pink Argie is, next to the painted one which goes on the elephant, I would say the lead one is 54mm, the painted one was about 60/70mm (same as the WoW-style painted Marx one here from Worthpoint) while the pink one is nearer 90/100mm (so that Jaguar probably does go with him?), and the MPC clone is closer to 50mm - all by eye, mind, I didn't measure any of them!
This chap's come in recently, the
Blue Box kneeling, we saw them (there's a standing one too) here at
Small Scale World, years ago, but the paint on this one is marginally better than my best example, so will become the new No.1, when they are all reunited in the new house . . . which is closer now this one's on the market! He needs a careful clean with a cotton-bud!
Mr & Mrs Gorilla visit
Tarzan for tea! Also a recent purchase, I have all the
Dulcop figures in storage with some of the animals, so the
Tarzan is a duplicate, but I needed both gorillas - Lord of the Jungle, King of the Apes!
