I need some help to identify this figure. I would like to know the company and teh set from this figure. It came together with a bunch of ACTA Zulu's that I bought on a second hand website. I looked at the website from ACTA, but I couldn't find it there.

So please, who knows this figure, and can give me some infomation.

Very interesting, Peter. My first impression was that you made a conversion. But if not I have no idea who is the producer...

I searched under Zulus, Aztecs, American Indians, Cat People, and anything else I could think of but no luck. Whatever it is maybe you've got the only one in the world?

I looked on hugh Walter's "Small Scale World"; I didn't find this but I did find a figure I think someone else here was trying to identify last year.

Gentlemen, thank you for your support and suggestions on this matter! But I found it today!

First I would like to say a few things to some people:
@Marvin: a Shaman it is ;-)
@Jan: if you find the whole set it would be a great addition to the collection ;-)
@Fred: I would like to ask it the catwoman myself? Must be a piece of "CAKE" for you. :mrgreen:
@Remco: I know you are "de" Groot :mrgreen:
@Ben: thanks :thumbup:
@Graeme: cause of your comment I started looking in another way. While you searched on kind and period, I started to visit the manufacturers of the 1/32 scale figures. And that's how I found the solution of this riddle! Thank you for the assist! :thumbup:

And now, drums....

This is a figure of the MARX DAKTARI JUNGLE JIM PLAYSET 1/32 AFRICAN NATIVE ZULU SAFARI 54mm.

I found the information here: http://www.angelfire.com/biz/toysoldier ... ungle.html and https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/ ... 1726930868

Daktari, childhood memories are coming back! With Clarence the lion, who needed glasses! :-D
