Z is for Zambia, Zaire, Zanzibar, Zimbabwe and . . . Zululand!

Mostly reissues, but it happens that the one pose I'm missing in the reissue set, happens to have turned up as an original, twice, is that coincidence or synergy. I never know the difference!

MPC African Warriors, colloquially referred to as the 'Zulus' and sold as/in various African jungle/safari/native sets. Eight poses, I'm not sure who handled the reissues, was it Mandrill, or did they only do the Marx reissues?
 
They are a bit tall and thin, but I like them, and with African warriors being one of the less visited corners of the figure-world by toy makers, it's nice to have them existing at all! If I ever feel rich enough, I'll try to get them all in gold, as I think they look really nice . . . Almost Rubenstein'y!
