Help me identify this plastic figures (1 Viewer)

[Aleš]

Well, i remmember more than 25 years ago i play with interesting plastic WILD WEST figures, but i am not sure which company is made them. Now i will like to identif ythem, so that i can look for them on Ebay or some forums....
This is all i know:

-there were plastic figures
-they were around 10 cm height, maybe more, but around 10 cm i think
-the range was "Cowboys and Indians", WILD WEST
-you can move their arms and legs, you can put the weapons in their hands, like knives, pistols,....you can remove their hats or some other parts
-there were also some other objects like canue, horses, stage coach,....
-it was hard plastic, very quality made
-this is not TIMPO 54 mm figures, but much bigger, like 100 mm or 120mm

I think the company who made them was maybe from Europe, like Germany, Italy,....but i am not sure.....

So, can you help me identify those figures with some informations?

Maybe you're thinking of Marx' "Best of the West" series, Alex. They were 12 inches, same as GI Joe/Action Man, and the current large figures by Dragon and others. The bodies were cast in a relatively hard plastic, though you could scratch it with your fingernail. The hands and heads were cast in a softer plastic, and the hands were malleable enough to be able to put index fingers through the trigger guards on the pistols and rifles, or the tin cups and coffee pots. Arms and legs were articulated at the shoulder, elbow, hip and knee. The accoutrements were in a vinyl-like plastic.

There were several figures, comprising a brother and sister, the Wests (Jamie and I forget the sister's name), a villain and a sheriff, a friendly Indian, and a pair of cavalrymen, one of whom was supposed to be Custer, I think, and the other was named Captain Maddox.

There were excellent horses as well, in various colors. One had fully-articulated legs and a moveable head, another had a nodding head but was posed statically, and the other horses were all just standing.

I remember a buckboard (wagon) that was available, too.

I have seen the figures from time to time at shows, both on vendors' tables, and also converted, painted and displayed in exhibitions.

Could that be the series you mean?

Prost!

Hello!

No, i am sorry but i think this is not the one i am looking...There were no family (children, brother and sister,...) only cowboys and indians. Cowboys with diferent colour of shirts, pants,....Indians with long hair or "iroqesa" hair,.....but yes, similar as you describe them, they have this articulated arms and legs (knee and elbow,...)...but there were no familly,....only cowboys and indians and you can buy diferent packs (like 1 cowboy) or two cowboys, or indian in the canoe, or 6 (3 cowboys and 3 indians) i think the stage coach was the greatest pack....and yes there were also horses and you can move legs on horses and head and they have sadle,.... i will try to get some photos on the internet and i will show them here

This are the figures i am interested....sorry about the photo, it is not the best quality, i take the photo from the internet (this are not my figures), i think some of them wearing some home made "equipment" like indian wearing a vest, but look at the cowboys, they are look genuine.
So, can some one tell me who made those figures....
