UFOs- Unidentified Flotsam and Oddments

I bought a box of old tat this morning at a German car boot for two squid before the regen showers drove us away.

I've ID'd some of the toys over Frühstuck. Excitingly I think the silver knight parts are the Aurora Red Knight and they look battered enough to be original.

The Star Wars parts appear to bodies and limbs from the 1995 Power of the Force Boba, Darth Vader and Tie Fighter pilot along with a 1996 Shadow of the Empire Prince Xizor, a new one on me.



TTherte are some Elastolin viking torsos and bases, together with a mixed lot of old German plastic and metal bits like Crucifixes and a snowman.

The motley crew centre front is a mystery. Toy pistols, a raygun, a lizardskin arm, a solid metal cape, a red seat and so on. Any help with these readers and would be very dankbar!

  5. Dear Woodsy,
    The little Colt (pistol), the snowman and the red seat are all Playmobil. The latter has been cut off from a Playmobil car's interior presumeably.

    Liebe Grüße (kind regards) from Germany
