Odds Ends Sioux Indians Plastic Platoon, We take a look at set three of the Plastic Platoon Sioux Indians. Next, our very good friend Andreas Dittmann shares a Brohm farm from Germany which Marx and Beton items. Finally, we have an update Marx 51 tan tank turret I recently found.
Odds Ends Sioux Indians Set Three
The poses are as follows:
1. Indian chief with Henry rifle at the waist.
2. Holding a cavalry guidon in his right hand.
3. Chief holding a peace pipe in the left hand has a feather object in the right hand.
5. Indian woman standing firing pistol
6. Running firing a Winchester.
The most interesting pose is the Sioux Indian woman firing a pistol. This is the first time I have seen an Indian woman with a weapon. Usually, they are doing a non- violent task. The only figure I can think of with a weapon is a Spanish Indian woman with a knife on a horse with travois from Spain.
Another interesting set from Plastic Platoon.

Marx Tan 51 Turret Top Update
One funny thing on the turret, I got a comment from the saddest person in the UK. I might have posted the comment except he used a false name, use foul language, and was sarcastic racist. He thought the post was a waste of time. It wasn’t. The post showed a hard to find an item. Marx 51 tank was only in a few playsets and one blister card that I know of. The tan version was only in the Desert Fox. So it was of interest to share with the readers.
As to the sad man, his attacks on me just make me laugh.
AND THAT WAS WITH SPLIT RINGS AND NO .50 CAL MG! The 51 tanks are holding their own as far as prices, while many other more common items have dropped; even though I can’t set up at shows this year, my Ebay sales have been very strong all year.
Mike, the ring is not split. Too bad it does not have machine gun. I was very happy for the money I have invested in it.
Another great set from Plastic Platoon they are definitely making some great sets.
To me …The buildings have the typical German toys resemblance structure toy made ,more sturdy plastic pieces made like those of (JH,Kohler,SIMBA ,PLASTIK ,KO-HO)versus typical US and UK or other made more with light walls plastic pieces else .The houses are very modern style generic .Beton had been copied al round .
Simba made two farms ,one is very alike .but i will need see others as well .
my thoughts
Amazing looking Indians !
