Hi Eddie,

Nice toys!

Wonder who the character is on the left of the photo with the three Hitlers?
These seem to be original Elastonin and Lineol (not sure of the company names spelling) figures - the name of the person represented may be on the base of the figures themselves.
I would imagine several members here will be able to give exact details on these figures and show many more.
I remember about ten years ago, being in Whitby with German family, and coming across an antique shop on the market place.
In the window was a marching SA band comprising of approx. sixteen figures playing drums, trumpets, flag bearer, jingling johnnie and fife players etc.
Together with them was a grey coated Hitler, standing at attention giving the Nazi salute.
The band was priced at £125:00, Hitler was £75:00.
Could have bought the lot for £170:00, but thought the price was too high.
Often wish I had bought them, but was not prepared to pay that price at the time.
This may be an interesting thread!

Best wishes,

John.

Could be Goebbels?

Looks more like Hess to me

They are modern lead/metal figures.

[Casper]

You are absolutely right. It is definitely Hess

+1.

The Hitler figure in feldgrau is an early King & Country figure (when they were still painted as 'toy-like').

I do not recognize the makers of the other three, but none are wartime, in my opinion.

Hi John, I know the little shop you are talking about in Whitby. He's been there for years. I think it's just his hobby he never seems to sell anything as it's all over priced. I think he sits in there drinking tea to get away from the wife

Yes the first figure looks like Hess or maybe Martin Bormann.

They are all metal or lead figures from around the 1970's I think apart from the king and country one on the end. They are still quite rare and can go for up to £50 each on eBay.
I have some more sets of figures I will try and post soon.
Cheers
Eddie
