Cowboys

These are 25mm cowboys from an unknown maker. The bases have " Hong Kong" stamped and I'm sure these are recasts. But of what, I don't know. I managed to buy packs in different colors, some in sober greys and brown but also a few in garish yellow, red and blue. Pretty cool poses!

    They are recasts of the 1/32 scale Airfix Cowboys set. I've picked up sets of these in NZ before (in 1/72 scale), with knock offs of the Airfix 1/32 scale Indians in the same set. They are very nice figures and the detail is very crisp. You are very fortunate to live somewhere that has a market that sells all these awesome plastic recasts!

    Regards,

    The problem is that most of the stuff we have locally are recasts :(

The Airfix range of military figures is one of the iconic brands of plastic toy soldiers I grew up with. Airfix is a UK manufacturer of plastic scale model kits founded in 1939 by Humbrol and currently owned by Hornby, a famous UK model railway brand. This is the latest reissue of their classic Deutsche Afrika Korps, the German expeditionary force in Libya and Tunisia during the North African Campaign of World War II. The box contains 14 figures.

HäT Industrie 1:72 Polybian Roman Army

I'm a fan of HäT Industrie's small-scale figures and soon decided that I needed an army of their Polybian Romans. I mean -- who doesn't need an army or two? My Polybian legion is currently composed of various HäT Industrie 1/72 plastic scale models. The company is a designer & manufacturer of 1/72 and 1/32 scale soft plastic and 28mm hard plastic military miniatures designed with the plastic toy figure collector, wargamer or hobbyist in mind. I've included notes taken from Wiki regarding the figures depicted. The Polybian legions of the early Roman republic was a manipular army whose structure was based partially upon social class and partially upon age and military experience. The army is based on units called maniples (Latin manipulus singular, manipuli plural, from manus, "the hand"). Maniples were units of 120 men each drawn from a single infantry class. The maniples were small enough to permit tactical movement of individual infantry units
