Diverse older brands came in last week for june 2011...

Last week i had several lots from older brands coming in.
First i had a box with Hausser Elastolin figurines, partly painted, or even un-painted.
But the box contained 2 new figurines for me, so i wanted it.
Here is the box with the animals;


The new ones for me are the atacking lion, and the bigger dromedary.
From the rest i had already painted ones...
This set is boxed as you can see.

Here you can see them al with the ones i already had before.


5310 Hausser Elastolin Lions walking, the one in the front is the new one, he is lighter, and less painted.


5311 Hausser Elastolin Lion attacking, new for me.


5313 Hausser Elastolin Lions sitting, the one on the left is the new one.


5316 Hausser Elastolin Lioncubs playing, the left un-painted ones are new for me.
Strangely enough, the outside of the box showed both different cubs, but ok, i have that one already to.


5318 Hausser Elastolin Tigers walking, the one in the back is the new one.


5330 Hausser Elastolin Brown Bears walking, the one in the back is new, brown, but un-painted.

Nice assortment! Take notice, all figures relatively in proportion with each other...
See it can be done...
I like the cassowary!

Thank you all guys!

Yes, the good thing about the 1970's was, that some manufacturers really did their best to make figurines in the right scale to eachother, like Britains, Hausser Elastolin and Starlux(although most of them already existed long before that).
I was lucky to live in Germany for 5 years in that particular time, and found them there in the shops, and the Hausser Elastolins always will belong to my all time favourites!
This box was not the best example maybe, but their painting of the figurines was so very realistic, specially for that time, but you can see that on the other figurines i had already.
The bad thing is, that this paint rubs off quit easy, so you have to be carefull with them!

The 70's ...Star Wars, disco, bell bottom jeans, lava lamps, platform shoes,
Farrah Fawcett and scale figures... : )

I liked the 60s better

I haven't a faintest idea what are you all talking about...

I was references some iconic things from the 70's and threw in a jab about the scale figures(since today my toy maker buddies(Compared to Britians et al) don't do too much thinking about a little elephant figure next to a giant mandrill
figure ...)

I know, I was kidding since I missed living in those days

Ahhh, so young and innocent

Yeah, riiiight

Someone told me that in 70's my parents started to play with scale figures and some time later I was born!

Haha, young and innocent, when you have the name:"Theskyis the limit"...
Sounds like me when i was younger, although i still have my days...

Yeah yeah Rogerio, playing with scale figurines isn't it?
Those figurines must be in the 1:1 scale then!
