BB`s Toy Figures

[Beano Boy]

Jan,I bought the book on Kindel , "AIRFIX KITS by Trevor Pask Shire Library",
but, they were not listed in there I just checked!
I actually saw the info on them here, airfixtoysoldiers.come/ space warriors ( all lower case letters . )
Sorry I read so much stuff in the course of a day that I made a mistake.
Sorry too,i just do not know how to place a Link to Stuff! BB

there are 3 zulu figure sets by cta in 1/32.i dont think the 3rd set made it into 1/72.they are on the smallish side next to aip's zulus,but who cares.

[Beano Boy]

Thanks tom s ,you are correct,I`m on their trail and can come by them quite easily here in UK. Very good to get comments guys, and as always they will be acknowledged ,and any question answered if possible. BB

[Beano Boy]

Hi Guys,the first half set of Zulu arrived today,and here they are.











Very Collectible ,Beautiful Figures.
The other half set is due to arrive soon. BB

[Beano Boy]

The last bag from 1982 arrived. It had these seven figures inside it.I have now three complete collections.



It was mentioned to me these are Flash Gordon Figures! I was totally unaware of this. So it goes to prove the old saying ,"We Live And Learn."



In the 1950`s I would often play Flash Gordon games,with the old radio valves which did look like his space ship. I had no toy figures in those far off days,but I made up for that lack,by having lots of imagination.My older Brother Ron,bought Sci Fi type Comics like the Eagle,so they were my only sauce of inspiration on thoughts of play. We had no TV in those early days of the BBC. BB

Having no spears or battle axe ,these Normans all have swords.
The swords in question are a bit to short,but these toys are well fit to Rumble!







These are the last four of the ZULU Poses available. There were another four poses released in 1/32 scale, but i have had no luck tracking these down,and in my way of thinking i have doubts they even exist for sale! Perhaps someone out there has them in their stash!.



There are another two sets from this range,and they are British Infantry. Only available to order by way of Fax Machine. A Call to Arms Company is way behind the times in the running of thier business. Found one box in the USA for $12,00, but they also want $38.00 Shipping! BB

Britains Figures 1970`s.

Lots of broken toy figures. So why am I happy?



I bought these on E bay,for the princely sum of £1.99 and £2.99 Postage.
"But Y BB ?" ___________" I spy with my little i, some thing`s beginning with C. "
Onejust4fun,C if you can spot E`m. BB

[Susofrick]

Oh, memories!!! No canoe?

[Beano Boy]

A few months ago I manage to buy empty canoes Gunnar,and the two Britains Indian figures worth £8,00 to me once in their canoe will soon be a paddling upon the river with some others that i have.
"There`s another six figures from Britains too BB. "____ "Yes ,They will be most welcome in the Collection too."
Eight figures for just under £ 5.00 including the two Canoists!____ C! ____ is nice. BB

Britains Toy Figures

Medieval toy Archers in fine tip top condition.



Well the Lot containing broken odds and ends arrived,and I am well pleased to have these complete items that were also found among them. The way beyond redemption figures were placed in the waste bin because this type of plastic they do not recycle.






Having bought empty canoes last year with a view to filling them has now paid off,and i hope you like these six toy figures from the 1970`s. " Well i like e`m BB."_____ " Thanx BW !"



My word this guy is going to have such a headache ! I already had the Indian with the bow,but felt the Cowboy needed another figure to help set the scene.

So for just under £5.00, I have good looking toys from yesteryear.

[Susofrick]

Ah, the canoe! But the squaw is a nice touch. We had a teepee we put her in front of. But most she was used every Christmas as Virgin Mary. Wait a minute, that canoe I think had a trapper and a cowboy in it. Can be wrong.

Coming Soon.
A Call to Arms 1/32 Scale Zulus at Ulundi, and British Infantry at Islandwana. BB

[Beano Boy]

A Call To Arms: ZULUS AT ULUNDI

Well i finally found a box of these rare to find Zulus in UK. There is a Site where you can order them,and they are produced in the UK,but i pay nothing now by way of Bankers Check,and that is what they wanted,so that was that.



Because of the very dark brown plastic they are made of,i added high lights to lighten them up a bit.
It was a bit like trying to photograph very dark chocolate.





In the shot above i removed six figures from the back row,because i found the poses did not work out pleasing to my eye. This is one big problem with sets with only 4 Poses. I have a set of British Infantry arriving soon,so i hope to show you them real soon. BB

[Peter]

Looking at these figures, I get the feeling that I will buy these to one day!

Did you get these with the little help I gave you?
