Phil R Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 here are the painted lead cast figures from the molds of Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. These are all from my collection. BUCK ROGERS: Top Row: 3 Martian Stratosphere Patrol, Disintegrator, Venus Duo Destroyer, Martian Attack Ship Middle Row: Buck Rocket, 3 Neptune Amphibian Squadron, Mekkano Man, One-eyed man, Tieko man Front Row: Asterite, Black Barney, Dr. Huer, Wilma Deering, Buck Rogers, Killer Kane, Ardala, Tigerman, Depth Man of Neptune. The Ardala figure was made separately at a later time. The single Buck Rogers is an addition different pose that was offered. They range is size from 1-1/2" to 2-1/2" for the figures and 1-1/2" to 4-1/2" for the rockets. The figures are not to scale as they appear in the comics. FLASH GORDON: Hawkman, Ming the Merciless, Prince Barin, Flash Gordon, Dale Arden, Dr. Zarkov Figures vary from 2" to 2-1/2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinplate6 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Phil, you know, I'm not usually a fan of "flats" :mellow: , but yours are very nicely painted, with clean lines and a lot of detail :huh: . They really look like pseudo 3D comic book illustrations, really nice. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Robot and Son Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Really nice collection Phil. Did you mold these as well as paint these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil R Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Joe, I bought the figures at least 15 or 20 years ago from the Eccles Bros. in Iowa. They specialized in all kind of comic character flats. I also got the Britains set from them in that same time frame. Of course the flats were unpainted but the Britains set was painted and I added the graphic to the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Fantasic looking figures. The paint finish really stands out. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimK Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hey Phil, I am usually not one for the small figures, but these are cool. With the bright colors and all. I really like the Solar Scouts box set. I find it amazing that they sold not only lead toys but the kits to melt the lead and cast the toys. And yet the kids survived more often and longer than the toys did. Go figure. JimK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Carbonel Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Excellent! I like your painting. As someone said, it looks like period comics / pulps covers. JCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
