HIRIART July 2014 Delivery (1 Viewer)

I received a delivery from Uruguay this month which included 61 sets. There were 46 sets for other collectors, 11 for me, and four for general resale. My 14-year-old Pomeranian mix, Kassie, who we adopted as a stray when she was a puppy, looks on. I have borrowed Chloe's (my six-year-old granddaughter) chair to go through the order.

This is a double set of 1305 World War I U.S. Marines ordered by Gary, who is a Viet Nam War USMC combat veteran.

 

[ucla1967]

This is set 1127 French Zouaves de Constantine, L'Armee d'Afrique which was ordered by Andreas in Canada.

 

[ucla1967]

This is a variation on set 1156 French Chasseurs Alpins where they are wearing Adrian helmets and blue pants rather than berets and white pants. Bob, Fred, Niels, and I ordered this set while John ordered a double set plus one extra man as shown in the last photo. John's set has the Styrofoam shipping spacers in place and the set will then have a sheet of foam rubber placed over the figures before shipping.

Steve ordered set 1119 Greek Evzones while Mark ordered a double set plus one extra man. I left the Styrofoam shipping spacers in place in the third photo.

 

[ucla1967]

Both Mark and Steve also ordered a non-catalog band version of set 1119 Greek Evzones with 19 figures. Again, the set is shown with the Styrofoam shipping spacers, but without the top sheet of foam rubber.

They are nice; whenever I take an extra set to the West Coaster, they always sell. Mark will have an impressive Evzone display with the 38 figures in those two double sets. Mike

[ucla1967]

This is set 1155 U.S. D-Day Infantry with Eisenhower for Tom who has pretty much ordered all of Hiriart's World War II personality figures sets for his collection.

 

[ucla1967]

This is Hiriart's set 1313 Imperial German Gardegrenadier with Kaiser Wilhelm II as ordered by Andreas, Collin, and Mark.

 

[ucla1967]

Andreas also ordered set 1131 Tirailleurs Algerien Turcos.

 

[ucla1967]

This is a non-catalog set of Seaforth Highlanders, Sudan Campaign that Randy ordered.

 

[ucla1967]

This is the other World War II personality set that Tom ordered: Set 1206 Italia Fara Da Se with Mussolini. The set has a bugler that was separately ordered by Alan and shouldn't have been tied into Tom's set. As an aside, I also had an extra 1206 resale set which wasn't a part of this shipment that Bob took for his collection. The Mussolini figure is one of the best personalities that Hiriart has done.

 

[ucla1967]

Steve ordered this set 1348 Greek Navy, Kavala, 1912, which is part of Hiriart's Balkan War series.

 

[ucla1967]

Bob also ordered set 1348 Greek Navy, Kavala, 1912, but with five extra men.

Are the Seafords available for sale or does an order take 2 years or more till delivery? Not sure how Hiriart works. Thanks, Michael

Those are all just wonderful sets. They are so appealing to the eye. I only have a couple of french foreign legion sets i purchased at the cantigny show in chicago and they are gorgeous. Keep the pictures coming.
