little big horn plastic figures: who were they made by?

My older Brother had a beautiful board game when I was a kid in the Sixties.

It was called Battle of the Little Big Horn.

It was made by Waddingtons of Leeds in the UK.

Despite the grim subject matter the box was gorgeous and one of my favourites.


The thing I loved the most were the plastic figures of cowboys and indians on horseback.

I though they were fantastic.


Were they made by Waddingtons or were they made by another company like Timpo or Britains? Did Waddingtons have the wherewithal to manufacture plastic figures like this?

  1. they look very similar to Timpo or Swappet figs, but its hard to be sure. Small Scale Hugh will know!

    1. I once got Swappets mixed up with Mechanoids. It cost me dearly.

  2. They were made (supplied) by Rojas e Malaret, so may be manufactured by someone like Pech or Reamsa
