Mini Boglins

Some more non historical figures, these are called Mini Boglins.
Released in 1991 by Ideal toys which are rubbery plastic figures about one and a half inches high.
The Mini Boglins were organized in tribes. In 1991 there were 6 tribes with 6 members each: a chief and 5 ordinary tribe members. The figures had six regular colors: yellow, blue, brown, gray, light orange, olive green. Chiefs could also be silver, which made them more rare. The tribes were:
The Clumsies,The Greedies, The Army Guys, The Jokers
The Disgustings, The Rude Dudes, The Tough Guys
The Medievals, The Prehistorics, The Samurai.

S.L.U.G. Zombies, made by Jakks Pacific.

By way of a change in subject matter, I have recently painted up some  plastic figures which I found on e-bay. I give you the wonderful S.L.U.G. zombies, stands for Slimey Little Ugly Guys. Standing about 2 inches high and incredibly well sculpted, some four different waves/series were made totalling about 50 odd  figures. Sadly they are now discontinued but can be tracked down on Amazon & e-bay and some stores in the US.

Chinese Nationalist Army 1937

Some recently aquired 54mm plastics made by "OWN" figures in China.
Excellent detail, I really like these. They depict troops from 88th division of the Chinese Nationalist Army at the time of the 2nd Sino-Japanese War circa 
1937.
