I have a Glossy Crockett and Adolf. Excellent Condition but no box. Anyone (Louis) have more info on them?
Will probably be putting on ebay.

Assuming it's K & C, the Crockett is probably from the Alamo series and the glossy Adolf, if it's the stormtrooper uniform (light brown), is LAH 05.

Matt, can you post photos?
 
Here are the pics. Tried the first time but I have never posted pics here before

I just checked and if it's glossy Crockett, it is RTA 01. See this brochure from Bill Sager's site.
 
Yup, that's LAH 05 and RTA 01. Adolf fetches around $40 to $50. Not sure about the Crockett. I don't think it's been on too many times
 
Here's a quote from the book on the early Alamo figures:

"The “Remember the Alamo” figures appear in Spring, 1995, as did HK19 and two additional modern Hong Kong Police releases. . . .

The “Remember the Alamo” figures included RTA1, a standing Davy Crockett loading his rifle, RTA2, Colonel William B. Travis striding forward firing a pistol in his right hand and holding a bloody sword in his right hand, RTA3, a wounded Jim Bowie fighting with pistol and bowie knife literally from his death bed, RTA4, a mounted Santa Anna, RTA5, the Matamoros Flag Set, RTA6, the Ladder Set, RTA7, the Firing Set, RTA8, the Advancing Set, RTA9, the Alamo Chapel Façade, and RTA10, Jim Bowie’s Bedroom. These figures are very well painted using the matt paint covered by a glossy coat technique, but are rather poorly sculpted. The figures are chunky, and the poses are stiff and unnatural."

Here's a quote about the first five LAH sets:

"The 1991-1992 Post card catalogue indicated that, available in mid-June, 1992, King & Country would release the First 3 Waffen SS sets, the First five LAH sets (with sets 6-8 available by September, 1992), the rest of the "Commemorative Editions", the 9 sets of pilots that go with the warbirds (including a Churchill Figure and a Captain Clark Gable Figure). . . .

The first five LAH sets consisted of the following: LAH1 - One SS Standard bearer with the Nazi Party banner and two escorting officers with drawn swords, all standing at attention, originally retailed for $48. LAH2 - (SS Color Guard) One SS Flag bearer, one officer with sword, and two NCO’s with rifles and bayonets, all goose-stepping, originally retailed for $54. LAH3 - (SS Escort Group) One officer with sword, five SS men with rifles and bayonets, all goose-stepping, originally retailed for $70. LAH4 (SS Inspection Group) Adolf Hitler, one SS Adjutant with helmet, one SS Adjutant with peaked cap, one LAH officer with helmet, one SS man in peaked cap, originally retailed for $63. LAH5 - Two figures of Adolf Hitler, one in gray jacket and cap, one in SA brownshirt uniform, originally retailed for $28. All of the LAH troopers wear black uniforms, black boots, black helmets, white belts and cross-belts, and red arm bands. The banners and flags are all red with white circles enclosing black swastikas."
