I thought Johnny West had the toughest face of any 'ombre going [maybe he was based on a film star?]. There was something brilliant about having everything made out of plastic, especially that thick clammy stuff Marx made the waistcoats and Indian chestplates out of. I then found two later boxed figures in a charity shop about 20 years ago. They were so cool. Alas, in the goldrush of the early Ebay days I flogged 'em.

I've now got another few to go with Johnny West & Chief Cherokee figures I got back in the late '80s or early '90s. (As well as some Dapol re-issues.) Not quite Action Man, but not without their own charm.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.com
