All
details taken from Rodney's Dimestore website (see link below)
The
figures are quite rare as they were only ever traded, not sold, although a Ron
Eccles does produce them for retail now apparently, although I couldn't find
him on the 'net. Dealers do carry them occasionally and both a history of the
moulds and the odd figure will be found on the below link to Rodney's
Dimestore, from where this listing was obtained.
I'm
assuming they are 54mm/60mm whitemetal solids in a 'dime-store' style with
larger accessories in resin. Most figures were available in campaign hat, tin
helmet ('Brodie' or British pattern), or peaked service caps.
