Britains "Eyes Right" (1 Viewer)

Anyone here collect Britains "Eyes Right" figures?

Even though the range is limited to ceremoaial figures, I have always thought that these figures were some of the best ever made. Also the plastic used for them must have been a different "mix" from the Swoppet line as I don't seem to find the plastic deterioration in them.

I have some still boxed that I've had since I was a kid. I agree that they do not seem to deteriorate. I have some Herald highlanders that have been "bleeding" some white fuzz.

I've put Eyes Right purchases on hold as I more interested in the vintage lead and new metal Britains, but I haven't forgotten about Eyes Right.

From what I can recall the Herlad and Swoppet figures had quite a high amount of chalk added to the mix which causes them to be so brittle. I think the formula wasn't that consistent either which may explain why only some figures are affected.

I've noticed some of my Timpo figures are very brittle also.
