This is the original customer information flyer and order form, it must be a later one given the number of sets listed, and the splitting of the earlier sets into the single pose versions?

I have asked the current owner of Ros if he still has the masters or moulds but they have disappeared.
ReplyDeleteYes, I will eventually do an A-Z entry for H&R with all the micro-armour and other stuff as well as this new, pretty definitive listing!
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if they DID turn-up, but it's been over forty-years now . . . and the expense of metal tools (over the rubber they were used to) may have been part of the reason they pulled the range, which would lead to a bit of scrap/recycling to get some of the investment back, especially if they were cupro-bronze tools?
