The Wild West - All Things Western

[Remembermyname]

More please my friend.

Thank you for sharing.

I loved my Johnny West figures, General Custer, Capt. Maddox, sam Cobra, Sheriff Garrett, the horses, etc.

Speaking of the Lone Ranger…

That is a great Lone Ranger and it inspired me to kitbash my own version at that time:

Gorgeous customs.
The all bright Blue and White hat (and horse) really stood out as a bright spot in the Western genre (maybe to much for a modern audience)
With the black Inverness/dusters these Lone Rangers seem somewhat channeling the Shadow. Though it legit makes sense, some 220 episodes, you're think he had something for the rain, winter season, (maybe a lighter slate-blue) did he ever wear something like it on the show?

A few of our sets over the past few years...

Fantastic coillection.

While at it someone (Infinite Statue?) Neds to do an update on the analogous Samurai...

Before my time, older kids always used to have them, spare parts, accessories, horses, loose collection always seemed to be around, seemed like a substantial great line, which fueled a generations play.

Also before the Batman or Mando Armory, they had a BotW Armory well a Travel Case.

Imagine putting a travel handle on the Batman Armory, and letting a kid run around with it.

In the smaller toy-soldier scale, Marx really seemed to have defined Western figures and playlets, both unique, and several of the first licensed properties.

This was my holy grail as a kid. I loved all the accessories he came with, as well as being a BAD guy

 

[greatlakes6]

I loved the accessories too! To bad the bag always broke off on one side and the little key always seemed to disappear.

Anyone know the Trinity movies, with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill? They're HUGE in Germany.

Got him a mate from Westworld...

And a little crossover...

 

[Stryker2011]

Kaustic Plastik did Bud Spencer earlier from the Trinity movies, and Terence Hill went up for PO already.

I have a number of Western figures (including the Redman Wyatt Earp & both Doc Holidays, the ArtFigs custom John Wayne (The Searchers), James West & Artemis Gordon (still have to find suitable bodies), the ArtFigs' Deadwood Olyphant and McShane, the Iminime Blondie, Sideshow's Blondie, the Redman & Present Toys Angel Eyes & Tuco (not happy with the short body Present used for Angel Eyes, or the really tall body they used for Tuco), The Man In Black (Westworld), and the Kaustic Plastik Bud Spencer (the only one I have a pic of). Sorry I don't have pics of these yet.

But, here's the most basic figures I started making/bashing for my own West-World (still need a bunch of accessories for the majority of these characters). Some of the clothes are custom made from Amy Jones (AJClothiers), and many are from BattlegearToys. The main character figure (the first one shown) is a combination (mostly of LIM Toys Arthur), Easy&Simple for the head sculpt, the jacket from the Sam Elliott Ghost Rider figure (can't remember who made it). (My pics are rather crap so ignore that if you can).

Since his character was a synthetic being, I found a robotic sculpt in a parts bin. Thought this looked cool.

Some sellers are showing Lim Toys Cowboy availability sometime in 3Q of 2024.

Well my friends, following some protracted deliberations I have decided to have 5 Outlaws no more, hard decision to make although I ask myself why that is, it must be the temptation calling to me. 5 figures to represent my tribute to the Western Genre.

It is all about timing.

Images to follow in due course.

I have quite a few western related parts if of interest.

 

[DEATHASYLUM]

Five is better than none

 

[Remembermyname]

It certainly is,. 3 with dusters was done once upon a time, 7 magnificent men too. 4 too few and 6 too many which brings me to 5.

The final Outlaws line up is nearly there.. waiting for John Marston. If Dutch arrives he may well be the fly in the ointment.

There shall be discreet nods to the western which includes the pocket watch for Once Upon A Time held by Carter Slade who shall take centre stage.

 

[DEATHASYLUM]

You can never have too many

 

[Remembermyname]

Good picture, it has been in my mind recently.

Many collectors hold this view for a lifetime. I am trying to control the thirst by asking my dark passenger when is enough enough?

When it’s no longer fun collecting…. Then you know

 

[Remembermyname]

I would like to say, I reckon so, but the thing is I know now and it remains fun.

Now watching Billy The Kid to take edge off.
