Quite small these figures and not as well moulded as some. They still fetch quite a high price on eBay though

I repainted these - a famous and very common set from the 1960s. Included is a photo of my Airfix Legionnaire, who serves well to illustrate the difference between toy soldiers and model soldiers

The words "Made in Hong Kong" used to mean cheap tat when we were kids - rubbish toys knocked out for next to nothing. But this little diver I picked up recently looks like a real treasure after his makeover. I'm still trying to find out something about his background

He is less than two inches tall too, so the modelling here was very good for something from HK. There's even a little skull & crossbones moulded onto the lid of the pirates chest

Nice! I'll delete my sarcastic first post for a -900 point penalty in the last Wacky-o-Skell game......

This Metatron dude has lot's of figures on his shelves (ooops).
