Something a Little Different (1 Viewer)

[wadepat]

Gentle Friends,

I seem to have developed a reputation for collecting the Delhi Durbar. Obviously, the Durbar is my passion, but my total collection is really quite varied. Let me take a moment and illustrate this fact by presenting a set of figures I obtained at OTSN.

For a number of years, I have been a fan of Ted Deddens (Tedtoy). Ted produces a number of glossy figures, many of which I have been able to obtain for my collection. For several years, I have wanted to purchase one of his specific sets, which I was finally able to do in Chicago. And, I thought you might enjoy viewing it.

Below, you should find five photographs of his set titled: Wanted: Dead or Alive. The photos also contain some of his accessories, specifically the cacti and the small rock. The larger rock that provides a backdrop was purchased from another vendor in Chicago. I hope you enjoy viewing the set.

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Gentle Friends,

I thought you might be interested in viewing the reverse side of the Tedtoy set of Wanted: Dead or Alive.

If you have a figure or set of figures you think "might be a little different," please consider posting photos of them on this thread. I think many of us would enjoy viewing those figures.

Enjoy the attached photos!

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Great set and a very evocative one. Ted Toys glossies are some of the best. Thanks for posting. -- Al

Pat...I love sets that tell a little story...the title of this set says it all...great acquisition...this is a really poignant set ...the Wild West's law at it's best...

I thought this set was different. If I remember correctly, it was a ACW Confederate machine gun, made by Trophy. I have some old Tedtoy Iron Brigade (I think), that I may post later. There're in the bottom of a box of ACW toys. Before collecting WWII, I collected ACW.

Pat,

Like you, I have always liked Ted Deddens offerings. I have only one of his sets, however, it is a U.S. Marine Corps Colour Party at present arms, circa 1941-42, wearing their khaki uniforms with World War I style helmets. I also like the wooden boxes that Ted uses.

Here is a photo of Hiriart's set 1166 Texas Rangers which is somewhat unusual.

How about Elvis (from K & C)!

 

[wadepat]

Hi Mike and Brad,

In my opinion, both the Texas Rangers and Elvis qualify as "something a little different!" The things that are "a little different" are seldom seen on the forum yet they add much character to a collection. I hope other forum members will join the fun and share some additional interesting and different figures.

Thanks Mike and Brad for sharing these wonderful figures! I love seeing them!

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Hello Pat,

You don't expect something like this from K & C but in the old days they used to do a lot of different things. The Elvis was part of a mini entertainer series, if you can call it a series, along with Chaplin and the Beatles a la Sgt Peppers. Another interesting series was their Jockey series. I have one through the graciousness of Steven Chong. I will see if I can dig up a photo since the one I have is in a hard to get area of one of my display cases.

Your Ted Toy set is very nice. I really like his stuff. I hope to see what he has to offer at the Hackensack Show next week.

Hi Brad,

I received a note today from Ted confirming he will be at Hackensack, so you should find some of his wonderful items there. Not only do I like Ted's figures, I enjoy Ted enormously. He has a terrific sense of humor and a quick wit.

I look forward to seeing the Jockey figure. I do not believe I have ever seen a figure from that series. In this case, not only will viewing your figure be fun, it will be educational for me. Thanks a million for your contribution to this thread!

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Here is the Jockey figure. The Hong Kong Jockey Club commissioned K & C to produce a series of horses and riders, as stated in the March 1994 brochure. Three are shown in the brochure but I don't know if more were done.

The one I have is JC 1, Knights Cross - black and red racing colors.

There are at least eight different numbers, and three different poses of jockey/horse. I'll have to take some pictures of mine (I have 6). There are some other oddities, like the "Les Miserables" set. Brad has already posted some shots of my Les Miserables, Charlie Chaplin, Sgt. Pepper's Beatles and Elvis figures on the Glossy King & Country thread.

For me my most "unique" piece is the set from William Britains High School Riders.

Here are some jockeys from a special Hiriart set and another "Something a Little Different," also from Hiriart, set 1281 Mounties, Dogs & Wild Beast which I posted on a different thread before.

 

[wadepat]

Hi Scott and Mike,

My Goodness! Those sets are terrific! Scott, I love the High School Riders. What a remarkably charming set!

And, Mike, those Mounties and jockeys are something very special. I cannot tell you how much fun it is for me to see these "out of the mainstream" figures. Your figures and Scott's certainly possess much charm and personality!

Thanks to both of you for posting these lovely figures! They are just great!

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

Here is a something that is not only different (i.e., unusal subject), but also rare, and, I assume, expensive. This is from Bob Walker's collection. I believe that this Mignot set is not listed in their catalog and is only one of ten made. It shows Napoleon's funeral in Paris.

Mike , this is really rare set for sure. I think that more then ten were made but only 5 were sent to the US. I have seen it a booklet for this set as well. I passed on it some time ago because could not justify paying such a high price... yet

Al.

What did you hear regarding how any were made? I don't collect Mignot, so I don't have their catalog. Does it have a catalog number? Finally, I don't know how much it cost; do you know? All my information was second-hand.

Hello Mike,
I do not collect Mignot neither, but sometimes just can not pass on a great piece of art I have not seen this set in a Mignot catalog and only have seen a pamphlet for this set (and surely the set itself). I think they made 20 or 25 set total and were selling originally around $1,500-1,600...
