Figure Showcase Part One December 2017 with Help From Our Readers Ed Borris
Ed’s recent acquistion of the Payton’s army firing machine complete his set of three figures. Each of the figures fires plastic bullets.
The second figure is an army figure standing firing bazooka with two plastic bullets
Final figure is army figure with a mortar. The figures are the best that Payton did.

Markus Lecksheid has done a comparsion of the Preiser 1/32 scale figures with other figures. As you can see he has a Marx Warriors of the World and Airfix Australian figures. The figure in the middle is a nativity figure. The Presier figures should go well with 54mm figures.

We start off with two Ajax figures. They were first hard plastic then later soft plastic. The grenade thrower is a copy of the Barclay pod foot. On army kneeling firing bazooka that may have been an original design. I wonder how many of us had them as a child.
Copy time we have a not bad copy of the Britians WWII Japanese officer. The other is a copy of the Marx six inch Cavalry shot.
More copies this time of various Indians. The figure on the left is base on one of the New Ray Indians. Indian firing rifle is a copy of the Britains Herald figure.
Finally we have the Britains Detail accessory pieces. I am famaliar with brown color version. When was the black color version done?
Those Payton firing GIs are very nice. Are they 6 inch figures? If so, They would go great with Marx 6 inch WW2. The sculpting on them is almost in the same league as the modern Plastic Platoon Vietnam sets.
I think they fit together well, I sent a picture comparrison to STAD.
I will get it later today or tomorrow as I am jammed with work.
Markus and Stad, thank you for posting the photo showing the Preiser figures with other figures of similar size. They do look like they are true 1/32 scale, as are Airfix or Britain’s Deetail figures.
The Payton figures were sold in the UK but they were made in Hong Kong versions and they were painted
