A friend of mine found this plastic figure on a flee market in Germany



Has, any of you and particularly our Canadese friends, more information about this ?

Don't know about Cartol, but the original sculpt was an MPC figure - part of the "2nd generation" of ring hands. I know that these were produced in other nations over the years but hadn't heard of Cartol. This particular fellow was molded in OD as a soldier and also appeared in bright colors as a "spaceman".

I grew up in Canada, and I had plenty of Carzol wild west ringhands figures. I think they were licensed by MPC. I never saw the WW2, Pirates or Civil War figures, only cowboys and Indians. I am not really sure how this business situation actually worked out, because we also got the entire range of MPC non-ring hands figures under the actual MPC brand in Canadian stores.

I think Kent Sprecher has a picture on his site showing that there was a slight difference between the molds for Carzol and MPC figures.
