Characters from Dickens

Spotted these at a Model fair, something a bit different. Metal 54mm figures made by Tommy Atkins.
David Leans 1948 film Oliver Twist one of my favorite films.

Rogers Rangers


Rogers' Rangers was initially a provincial company from the colony of New Hampshire, attached to the British Army during the French and Indian War in the United States.(circa 1755). The unit was quickly adopted into the British army as an independent ranger company. It was trained by Major Robert Rogers as a rapidly deployed Light Infantry force tasked mainly with reconnaissance as well as conducting special operations against distant targets. These figures are 54mm made by Barzso in the USA.

Monster in My Pocket

Monster in My Pocket (MIMP) was a series of rubber and plastic mini figures approx an inch and a half high released by Matchbox in1989. Initially based on monsters from mythology of various cultures, then expanding to other creatures such as dinosaurs, aliens and monster wrestlers.
Produced in solid single colours, initially when viewed the detail on them looks unimpressive, however once primed in matt black prior to painting, I found the detail then becomes more evident.
