Again, not so much of a question, as I feel these are likely to prove to be Good Soldiers, but they came as a bulk lot of 'shop stock' with no packaging, which would be an uncommon escape from the garage concern that is Good Soldiers, I haven't seen them in Ron's immaculately-cut, foam-lined 'toy soldier' boxes, on his stall either, and they don't seem to be copies of other, older, plastic figures, as his more whimsical, or fairy-tale-TV-Disney stuff tends to be.
And the girl holding a straw boater behind her back also looks vaguely familiar, but as a group a rather nice Goldilocks and the Three Bears. I would add that Baby Bear is doing a pretty good impression of Mary Plain, while Daddy Bear seems to be a stretched Mummy Bear - owch!
So anyways, any ideas, on either set, gratefully received!

I am pretty sure the Rupert characters are from Giles Brown of Dorset Castings (now cast by Imperial Miniatures] as I bought a very similar set for my snowball fight game.
Cheers Mark, that's very likely - given the source - I also have some nice dogs designed for the Britains/Charbens (et al) hunt sets which are Giles work, I think?

Interesting article that needs some follow-up. Thanks for posting, Hugh.
Cheers Jan, I was chatting to Adrian of Mercator Trading, a week ago (Sunday) and it seems they are probably all by Giles from Dorset, he was apparently retiring, but has since taken on some new work, so?
