Does anyone have any pictures of the Blue Box Famous Historical Character figures (1 Viewer)

[knights1212]

I am looking for pictures of the Blue Box Famous Historical Character figures made in Hong Kong but sold in the UK quite a few years ago. I only have one but thought they made about 12 different figures. I would be most appreciative. They are about 60 mm.

Were they plastic? I know of Blue Box figures in white metal, such as the Napoleonic, American Civil War and World War II figures. They were very similar to King-White's figures in their sculpting and painting style. But I've never seen the Historical figures. I wonder if they were carried forward from King-White's catalog, because KW did make specific historical figures, like Eisenhower, De Gaulle, etc.

I'd be keen to see these, too, if anyone has pictures.

Prost!

Thank you so much for this information. I didn't know they were painted as well. The one I have is a shiny silver. Now I have seen pictures of 10 of them. I was told there also was A Richard I, Zulu Warrior and Geronimo. I don't know if this is correct or if there were others as well. I am most appreciative.
