Dear members,
The following URLs bring you to pictures from my own Flickr account of space figures that I couldn't identify so far. If you like to use the pictures in any manner feel free to do so, btw.

They don't appear to be part of the soldiers boxes like Airfix, Esci and so on, I think I know these series too well to be able to exclude that possibility.
What I know so far:
- Sometimes I encountered these second hand, in very small numbers (between 8 and 15 figures).
- Both sides (blue ones, white ones) were in the same buy repeatedly. As if both sides belonged to a single set.
- The painting is always the same type so I assume this is a factory prepainting.
- It's no Star Wars
- Underneath the bases are codes, like A1, B3, A16 etc., representing the poses. As far as I know the numbers in these poses are from 1 through 18 which means there are 18 different poses. 9 for the red troops, and at least 9 for the blue troops.
- The overall impression of the quality is high, they have a plastic feel like Matchbox or something comparable.
What I would like to know:
- Who is the manufacturer
- When was it marketed
- How was it marketed (did they come with a vehicle, spaceship etc, is there a name of a series or a theme etc etc).
Not knowing any manufacturer etc is as if you're searching for them blindfolded. It would be of so much help to have some decent search entries for this.
Any info on this is warmly appreciated!
