Are these K&C figures? (1 Viewer)

Here's one for all of you K&C collectors--are the figures in these two auctions actually K&C?

I don't collect K&C, and what I know about the figures comes from old catalogs. These look more like King-White, or maybe early Frontline, than K&C. I wasn't aware that they ever used square bases like these. But the style of painting definitely fits in "the Chinese Style", and they look very much like the figures that came out of Hong Kong at the end of KW's run and the beginning of K&C and Frontline.

Thanks in advance for any more info anyone might have!

Prost!

Thanks, Tom! Was that from the early years of King & Country's production?

I think they are 2 pieces of a 12 piece Gordon Highlanders Band produced by K&C. The guy with the leopard skin is one of the guys in the 2nd row of the photo and the drummer is one of the guys in the back row.
