There were abotu six poses of each nationality about 6 inches tall each. They had the main WWII nations, as well as cowboys, indians, spacemen, etc. I still see them every now and then advertised online, so you could get them again if you wanted to.

I have been trying to find photos of these and so far not been able. they were neat. any ideas? I don't believe they were marx, but who knows? I had the Japanese, Russians and British. the primitive , dime-store where they sold them , they were loose, individuals, in a rack on the shelf, like eggplants in the produce section . no packaging. :) I think they were either a quarter or 50 cents us each.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669635333599455136.post-45220001663021195592012-01-16T20:45:48.500-05:002012-01-16T20:45:48.500-05:00Thanks for sharing that.

It was in the midst of summer and the Tiger mosquitos were all over me...
