Op Shop Bonanza

 Well, they are, not figures from the TV show, Bonanza. I picked up  an original Toy Story bucket of toy soldiers that I'll show in another post. I also got (for $4) some assorted cheapo figures, mainly copies of Timpo cowboys and Indians. I like these figures eve though they are a little crude.

  ''What's that you say?" This US cavalryman looks like he is trying to hear out of his bugle. The standard bearer I once converted into a Revolutionary War figure

  Why have something like half of plastic Redskins just been armed with knives and tomahawks? I don't think they'd do well against cowboys with revolvers!

  The cowboy with lasso and the brown one with hat off the top his head are copies of  Airfix.
  The incomplete coach is unders-cale.
                                                               The horses are too awful!
   The fencing might be handy if I glue it, in sections, to some card. The wagon needs a lot of work.
   The abs look a little strange, so high, as if he would have four nipples. Apart from that the hair styles remind me of Amazon Indians. In fact, that gets me thinking. If I trimmed down the trousers to look like bare legs...
