Plastic Figure Showcase February 2002 Hanomak, we start the month off with a look at Hanomak’s new set Celtics. Next, I share from Rahway photos from Expeditionary Force’s consumer list. I have more on the Marx Arab reissues that Markus Lecksheid found.
Plastic Figure Showcase February 2002 Hanomak Celtics
Hanomak who did some exciting sets of World War Two Germans and Russians has turned to a new era. This time they are doing Celtics. The set has six figures five men and one woman. Laurie will like the Celtic with the ax and a human head on the ground. No date when it will be released.
Expeditionary Force
The next sets to be released from the 54mm WW2 Pacific War range – British at Far East series, will be the Mortar Section and the HQ Section. These sets are scheduled for release in March 2022.
We show here again the Piat a British anti-tank weapon.

A French Chasseur in fatigue order, with a rolled great coat, on a mission against Spanish guerrillas. The French line of communication in the Peninsular War was full of guerrilla actions. There will be French garrison troops, foot, horse, and gun, in similar dress for this aspect of the war. There will be Spanish guerrillas of course.

Marx Arabs Reissue Update
Marcus Lecksheid sent me a photo of the other Arabs he got. The dealer he got them was selling mostly model kits. This is something I will keep looking into
Plastic Figure Showcase February Detlef’s Painted Figures
Our very good friend Detlef is an excellent painter. he got the Elastowit Time Machine set and painted the figures. Here we have the Morlocks.Here Detlef did Eloi and Morlocks with a mountain scene. I have no idea where the mountain is from. I can’t wait to see Detlef’s next painting of figures.
The mountain remains me of the TM big rock used in many playset and recast still but not same,I had seen a Chinese version of it different as well but base in TM sold since 90s .
Nice playset!!
I like that Xforce mounted trooper for the Alamo. Would he have the same uniform to be a Pre-Civil War Cavalry Dragoon. If so it would fit into the 1840’s, 50’s westward expansion.
I did not know that celts went to gym and took steroids back them ,interesting !!.Also everybody make all celts in summer style .The sets may be great for a folk heroes scene.

It would seem highly likely to me that Marx partners in England, Germany or Holland might of had access to the Marx Arab mold and ran it years ago.

That figure would be good for the Mexican War, too.
