Because they're Kellogg's of course! Quick box-ticker here now, we've seen them before, again, more than once I think, but they are fun nevertheless, and most kids had some in their biscuit-tin or cigar-box of such things!
Complete set, all with the Kellogg's bases, and therefore sold (given away!) unpainted, six Native American Indians, relatively generic I think . . . mid-plains Indians? And pretty nice sculpts, with three fighting, one dancing, one . . . dancing with fire, or fighting? And a 'How' character!
Crescent marked on the left, Kellogg's to the right, he may have lost paint or be a late issue, late Crescent Wild West could be unpainted, or one paint. There are subtle differences between the two sculpts, but it seems Crescent had multiple cavities for at least these, and both 54 & 60mm Combat Infantry sets, maybe others?

And Cereal Offers has them here;
They are lovely sculpts. Bird person is particularly good. I can't remember having them as a kid, maybe a decade before my time. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them John, you can track down Hong Kong copies in small scale, even of the bird-man!
