    TSSD for 2011

    Got a look at the TSSD Ok Corral figures yesterday, very nice sculpts, good poses. They seem to be a solid 60mm in size, excellent detail, they look like they would paint up very nicely.

    where is all the plastic discussion?

    Well, I think interesting discussions give you both points of view, that is not possible if you are discussing his favorite manufacturer and he deems it derogatory or critical. I value other's opinions even if I may strongly disagree with them. Quite a few of the people from Hobby Bunkers forum...

    where is all the plastic discussion?

    Hobby Bunker has some discussions, not a great deal, but some. The Marx Playset site screens all your posts, so I don't go there at all. Besides the moderator works a certain manufacturers table at one of the shows, so in my opinion he restricts posts made regarding said manufacturer.

    Question for all Treefrogers

    Vintage Marx may get you a couple of bucks per figure, the Accurate and Re-casts can usually be found in abundance in the 50 cent bins. Could take a long time to get your investment back if at all.

    My alamo sculpts......

    From all the shows I've attended I would say that the metal crowd is actually younger then the plastics crowd. Most of the plastic collectors are products of the Marx sets of the 50's and 60's, so we are getting a bit long in the tooth, the number of kids at shows are usually few.

    Classic Toy Soldiers Union Army

    He could have been one of those already in the hopistal or injured in any variety of accidents prior to the battle, or as you say in the siege.

    Classic Toy Soldiers Union Army

    I actually like that pose, of course I converted him into an Alamo defender. I remove the hat , the pistol and the ramrod, give him a flintlock pistol, a floppy hat and a musket.

    Originally it was thought they were Ideal and indeed many people referred to them as Ideal, it was found out later that they were actually Andy Gard. Andy Gard also did a Cowboys and Indians set and in my opinion some of the nicest cowboys ever done, although some of the colors and the injection...

    Two poses fpr sure are an exact copy of the Andy Gard Civil War figures, quite possibly the standing firing poses too.

    My alamo sculpts......

    Assume if your produced them on your own they would be cast in metal? Any thought to how many you might sculpt?
