[FEATURED COLLECTION]
Britains Herald Swoppets - Ex-Shop Stock!
Howdy! I have had a very exciting week cataloguing these Britains Herald Swoppets which are part of a large ex-shop stock collection in our next toy sale! The detail that goes in to them is phenomenal - from miniature swords, daggers, and guns in holster belts, to crests in the shape of animals.
We have several complete trade packs of figures, mostly from the Wild West Series in the form of mounted Cowboys and Indians, and also a selection of American Civil War figures in trade packs. Many of the figures come complete with 'I'm a Swoppet!' paper tags, and even their original complaint slips!
The picture below shows the notorious Mounted Cowboy Bank Robber...
Whilst the Swoppets were originally advertised as 'figures you can swivel and swop' which implies a durability not seen in figures of this age, 50 years on Swoppets have been known to suffer from plastic fatigue, making it very difficult to find a complete figure in a mint condition - which is why we are so excited to have this superb collection!
Here is a trade pack of Wild West Series Indians, containing four sets of figures, each on their own display card:
A trade pack of #535 Indian Brave with Tomahawk Mounted figures:
A trade pack of three Britains American Civil War #420 Confederate Officer Mounted figures:
All of these items will be featured in our March 23rd 2013 Toy Auction - hopefully see you there!
