A bog-standadrd'ish set of flat footballers,
three-a-side plus a referee, between 54 and 60mm, I probably said last time that I don't know how
may poses there were or what other colours you may find them in, but what I
didn't say last time is that they are all marked, I wouldn't say 'clearly' but
marked they are nevertheless!
Indeed on the fluorescent green and orange-red
players it's hard to see and just as hard to read with a jeweller's loupe and
pen-torch, but on the referee it's more easy to spot, and can be read, a
shadowed cartouche with Plastix
within the inner boundary.
Plastix seem to be an Argentine jobber/pirate, they also ran a version of the Dolls of the World (Commonwealth type - still to be added to that page!), but from the poorer [Hong Kong?] tools, or their own copy-tools?
Not to be confused with Superglue-Plastix a Locktite
brand-mark (now phased-out but probably still owned/registered by them) for
their 'soft plastic' cyanoacrylate super-glue, these figures almost certainly
pre-date the late 1990's use by Locktite?
Technically, I think the Europeans would
class these as demi-ronde, due to their not being as flat as the German 'Nuremberg'
lead flats, but I think of them as flats because they have no sticky-out bits!
And - for those wanting to tick the box, I think I got these from The Swagman's Daughter who trades on feeBay but also has a shop:
She may have some left.
