Andreas Dittmann’s Mystery Figures Mondial Others one of my enjoyments in this hobby is helping other collectors. It can be swapping items or sharing information. One of my collector friends is Andreas Dittmann. I met Andreas at the first German Plastic show and we have help each other on information. As in previous post he has sent me some figures to identify.
Andreas Dittmann’s Mystery Figures Photos
The first item from Andreas is a mystery soft plastic fort. The gate is the Ideal fort front or more likely very good copy. The Ideal fort front was sold in bag sets for $.98. You got a plastic front front two tin litho, figures and accessories. The reason I am leaning toward copy as front does have the connectors for tin litho. Also the fence sectionwasnever done by Ideal.
The female cowgirl is a Marx 60mm first version western figure.
Our next photos from Andreas are three football figures. The two on the left and center were very likely from China.The football figure on the right was made in the United states and is from a game, but I can not remember whose.
In this photo we have some possible ninjas. I am sure our expert of these figures Erwin Sell will gives us the company and how many figures were made.
The next mystery figure may be made of parts from different companies. The rifle looks over size for the figure. The base is similar to a Plasty.
Andreas Dittmann’s Mystery Figures Mondial
Our final figure we may have seen before. At the Plastic Warrior show I bought a large lot of figures. In this lot was figure that looks a lot like the one Andreas has. He looks base on the Timmee army running with sub machine gun. The figure very likely came with separate accessories.
The figure is marked Mondial. Andreas thinks that might be a Italian company, but mondial has French origins.
Let us know your thoughts on these figures.
The fort looks like HK made and sold in bag or blister card with cheap copes from 80s.
very common around off ebay by the way.
It could be well Ideal later made sets mix with HK pieces too from 70s
The CHINESE-monk alike warrior were sold by Imperial off walmart and amazon.
They were pack along pirates in bucket playset and label as ninja against or versus pirates (pirates being few poses copied from HING FAT )all in 45 mm approx.
Oriental trading corp also distribute then in larger amount bag in black and red colors.
Still around.Total 6 poses
A larger version of only 4 poses made in 4″ scale were sold at dollar stores in red and black .
I think footballer poses are copies of Tudor game set .I could be wrong .

The figure with the rifle over his back could he be made by Nardi of italy
