100 Toy Soldiers Comicbook Ad

As a kid, I've always wanted one of these "footlockers" with a hundred toy soldiers but I couldn't figure out how I could have possibly ordered one.

The set comes with 4 parts to build the fully painted knight and horse.  The figure is depicted wearing what would soon be known as the Royal Arms of England. Its blazon is Gules, with three lions passant guardant in pale or armed and langued azure, meaning three identical gold lions with blue tongues and claws, walking and facing the observer, arranged in a column on a red background. The box and the armor style labels the figure as a crusader but Richard the Lionheart used a single lion rampant, or perhaps two lions affrontés on his surcoat, during his time in Outremer.
