Police Swat Forces China, Erwin Sells shares with us two interesting Police sets. Erwin notes that since 90s several cheaply made original designed or not copies of other brand modern 1970s -post police/special forces sets sold made in China had been appearing at the dollar stores, Amazon and other places.
Police Swat Forces China Introduction
The first two show here were purchased off a simple mix loose lot sold in eBay for a very low price
The poses and detail brought my attention.
I’m interesting to find out more about then and if more poses /set accessories else with it were made!/
Police Figures
All in blue (4 officers and one dog ) I believe there could be more poses.
The Delta typeset has 6 poses as if were in typical middle east anti-terrorist operation housing /gate action because one is carrying the doorbuster battery ram.
So far I had compared the poses with NEW RAY and TM brand 1990 modern police -Special forces sets and not similarities in poses to me. So they look to me as newly designed.
Final Thoughts
More sets soon.
Someone could just collect police today. They could start with the non-violent poses done by Marx and Auburn. We started to get action poses of police with the Marx Untouchables playset. Timmee or Tootsie Toys may have done the first SWAT figures. As I mention the Timmee are available from Victory Buy
Every now and again I’ll see a set of obviously Chinese figures that have a couple neat poses that I might buy if it wasn’t for their size.
They are lovely figures, a nice change from some of the dreadful blobby flattened copies of copies of copies of modern and WW2 infantry.
Some would make good SF figures too.
My pet peeve is you can find sets of Police/Firemen but no “Bad Guys” to oppose them re:Armed civilians,rioters,masked robbers,etc.in present day clothes.
Is true.The bad guys are hardly made x these sets.
The best bet is that rare early playset admin post here with bad guys in modern clothing and weapons.
Sold in 90s .
Since then almost none made …

The Transit Officer looks like he is wearing Adult Diapers!!LOL.
Never mind the figures, tell me about that excellent adobe building! Is it Playmobil? Looks a little large for the men, but as they are 50mm it would probably be perfect for larger 1/32 or 60mm buys.
No the Adobe building was made x ancient biblical sets sold under Rainfall brand in 90s with 80 mm scale PVC figures.I got hand 5 then .there other model as well I have.
The back is open and they can be use x middle east ,north Africa ,or even Mexico type building.

Thank you, Erwin!
Those soldiers and police were sold in Dollar Tree recently – also firefighters. Depending on your local store, they may still be there.
Thank you Daniel.
Never see then at dollar tree near me and I pass by every month .
So most be local stores near you.
If u see then could you get a pack each set please?
I will send u money plus shipping else incurred.
Let me know please.
thank you
Best .
I’ll look around. Lately the shelves in my Dollar Trees have been pretty depleted and soldiers sell fast. Another problem is that in typical low-cost fashion, the figures are dumped in a bag with a tank and a few other things – five to a bag – and you might end up with four of one pose!
Thanks .yes I’m willing get 5 bags if need get all poses if you can do it of course I will ask admin x you email to contact you directly.
I check one store it has the firefighters w funny firefighter dog in it and see the issue with poses distribution as you say.
It is a old issue that happened often since old days with figures in bags .
Thank you again.
Best..
