I have over 100 of these figures now. They are awesome - like old NYPD uniforms circa late 1940's.

What the heck do I do with them???
 
Gideon: Are they the hard plastic Betons with the rectangular or peanut shape stands or the common light blue softer plastic figures? Leadmen
 
They are the softer blue and red ones.

I was thinking of posting them to my website as product. If sell them at a justifiable, cheap enough price then I think modern parents will pick up these figs for their kids.
 
Gideon I might be interested, I have 3 white rubber cop figures, , don,t know what brand they are, could you post pics?
One of mine is walking, another walking w/nightstick, are these the same?

Gary: I think the ones you have are Auburn Rubber. I have those poses by Auburn. Beton made two police poses. Traffic cop with hand raised and one walking with a nightstick. Also they made one fireman carrying a axe. John
 
Here are the hard plastic Beton cops and firemen. J

John is there anything you do not have? I bought those Beton Cowboys and Indians from you awhile ago.
 
Thanks John, your right I have the Auburn figures.

Those are the hard plastic versions of the figures I have. I kind of like the soft plastic ones better.

Anyways, I've got them and they are new condition.

What do they normally sell for? I tried looking around on eBay and didn't see any.
 
Gideon: I would not know what they are worth today. I bought the hard plastic ones for $4 $-6@ The soft plastic ones I got on a deal from Bill Lango who had bags full of them. I think they were >50 cents each. That was 10 years ago. I don't see many Betons in good shape at the shows lately. I would guess they would be worth at least five dollars each. John
 
Don't forget the cowboys.

Those are great.

Were you the one who bought the boxed sets of hard plastic figures from me? Those were so cool.

I wish I bought the ones from you, but I picked these up individually at shows. John
