After WWll and metal Dimestore figures were being phased out in favor of plastic figures like Marx and Beton companies. These Beton figures were my favorite when I was small. They were made by the millions by the New Jersery Company in the 40's and 50's and sold everywhere. About 3" tall and came in an early oval flimsy stand which was replaced later by the square rectangle stand and finally by a one piece peanut shape stand. The rectangle stand was my favorite. Figures could stand on carpets and elsewhere. Leadmen
