July Plastic Figures Moments Detlef’s Conversions

July Plastic Figures Moments conversions
Our very good friend Detlef Heerbrand has a quirk he hates to throw away damaged figures. He will instead he will do conversions with them. Case in point, the above figures were originally Jean cowboys. Detlef converted them into cavalry with swords.

Here we see the results of Detlef’s efforts. He has painted the figures and has made an interesting group of figures.

July Plastic Figures Moments Liberty Import figures

Liberty Imports
Liberty Imports put out on the market a castle with five different knights. They also show on the cover three other poses which were not in the set. The figures are more Romans than knights. It might have been a reason they were not included extensively. Since we talked about these figures in March, only a few figures have turned up in sets. Hopefully, they will do bags of these figures

Auctions and Ebay People

One of the things that get me and other people annoyed and laughing are the Ebay people at regular auctions. You know who they are. They are ones bent over their phones trying to look up prices. We have to laugh because they really don’t know the real prices of figures or other toys. They base their bids on what is selling or I should say trying to sell on Ebay. It is fun to watch them when they cannot find a price. They get like deer in headlights. Do they bid or not? At this time they ripe to teach a lesson. If they and you are regulars they will try to follow their lead. At that time you can push them up and stick them with an item, you don’t need. It caused them to be frustrated and to leave. You can now have a sensible auction.

    The liberty imports romans poses and auxiliary come in not all bucket playset and often missing one pose or more
    There is a mounted knight pose I manage get one and is pose number 7 in an all new horse pose as well.
    Another issues as I cover then before here is the extra spears and banners are missing often.
    It looks likely a bad control on production and making feeling the playsets by favtoryband not the importer.

    These bucket playset as just labeled by LI.
    Who does not control the making and just import then.
    Liberty import released or distribute a set of 6 pirates new poses I just bough .Least it has all full set poses inside one I got.
    Pirates are fully factory painted and same scale as Roman and knights.
    There is boat,cannon and few other accessories as well.
    The JH conversion looks awesomely done.
    Well done!!!
