Jean Hoefler - Cowboys

Posted by Peter on 08 Mar 2026, 18:30

I was painting one of these figures for my confederate soldiers collection when my friend Detlef from Germany mentioned this figure as his favorite Jean Hoefler figure, and he called him "Fuzzy". Not knowing who was "Fuzzy" I started painting the same figure as a gift for him. So that is why you see two identical figures. The one with the sand color base is a gift for him.

But that isn't the end of the story. I was to curious so I wanted to know, who is "Fuzzy". So i asked him and he sended me this picture. Ladies and gentlemen, meet "Fuzzy". Never heard or seen this guy but I like this funny guy already!

Image

So with this mystery solved, I wanted to paint another one just like on the picture and now you can see the final result here. This one is also gone to my friend in Germany as a mystery gift.

Both figures arrived in good condition in Germany.

All three figures look great, Peter, although my favourite is "Fuzzy" because of his striking shirt. You've done a great job painting all of them. Detlef is so lucky to have a friend like you! :mrgreen:

They are such charming figures and you've built on this with your precise paint work.
Well done.

This was a favourite when I was a kid, but my copy had lost his hands before I got hold of him so it is very nice to see him like this. And nicely painted too (mine was blue, just blue!)

Yes, very nice and indeed, the shirt must have been a fiddly job. Well done!
