The Marx Hong Kong figure is a Chinese Fisherman which would most likely have ben made in the early sixties.

The TV/film crew are based on vintage Scalextric figures. I don't think what you have are original Scalextric figures, going by the quality. You can find pictures of them on eBay if you want to compare.

I agree, the camera is much different and comes apart. They came out of some company set as to the markings on the base. Interesting nonetheless.

Thanks

I asked Kent from Toy Soldiers HQ if he could tell me something about them, this is what he came up with - Part of a 12 figure group mark Hegeman believes were uses as tea premiums in Hong Kong, They can be seen and bought at Toy Soldiers HQ
