June 2026 Odds Ends DFC
At times, I am amazed at the prices on figures. At a recent toy show, a dealer had the DFC figures individually priced at $10.00 each. Looking at EBay, I see the figures priced from $2.00 each and up. I do not look at them as rare figures and usually bundle them when selling.
Here we have three of the four Andy Gard Ringhand Army figures. Another party calls them MPC clones. Do you agree or disagree?
I don’t know if I have put this figure before. Do you recognize the figure?
This was another item I picked up in my travels. It is a 1/32 scale ambulance, which will go in the town I have planned to set up. I found it at a flea market for a dollar.
I had some of the Lone Star Harvey Series cowboys as a child. One of my favorites was the bandit with two pistols. He disappeared, and he was one of the figures I replaced on my first trip to the UK.
I went out last week, and really, it was a waste of time. The only thing I turned up with was this Tootsie Toy car and three track crew figures. The figures are 54mm. The funny thing is I paid a penny more than its original price, $3.00 verus $2.99.
Here is an interesting figure that popped up in my basement. It is a flat plastic Russian knight. I hope to have more information in my next post.
Concern
As you may have noticed in the comments in my previous post, we have had a problem between two 3D figure makers. One maker, Mars, is accusing another 3D maker of taking their designs. The other party has not responded. We do not need this in our hobby.
The warrior with sword looks like one of Polotoy made figures ,they were distributed under several names including Schylling. Most of these figures are based on old lead D&D figures and figures from D&D’s Hero Quest game.
TOYCO made copies of two poses with variations and used in their playset in the 1980s
There about 22 poses in figures and creatures as well accessories such large skull tower a catapults and else .
The flat figure is made in the Soviet Union and I think still recasted till late 90s or possible earlier 2000s .Sold as souvenir inside a large box or other format.
Serie have 8 different figures representing Russian Empire history and their military units over the centuries.
I can send you direct information later and maker information.I think the company name was BAO or CPO .I am not sure on that ..
They are often found on ebay too .
Those ringhands are Andy Gard, not MPC.
