FARM, POLICE, FIREMEN, SPACE OTHER CIVILIAN AND FANTASY

These Popeye figures were not made by MPC, but by Irwin Due to the hole in their bases it had been assumed they were made by MPC. Marked K.F.S.

These figures were made in many colors for many roles. In green as armymen, blue as police, red as firemen, white as ski troops, brown as cowboys, yellow as farmers, flesh as construction workers and other odd colors for whatever the reason. The four "shirt and pants figures (MP116-119) were made in brown and used as cowboys. These figures were quite frustating to many kids as they just didn't look right. SEE MPC WWII PAGE FOR AVAILABILITY

FARM ITEMS

NO BARNS IN STOCK.

MPC made bagged (and boxed) farm sets. We think the four "shirt and pants" ringhand figures were designed originally as farmers (later included in many different themed sets). The couching figure can hold one of several tools which clip nicely into his hands. We think the two man saw listed as Auburn in PFPC is actually the MPC farm saw. Farmers were made in yellow (although sometimes blue and red were used), and the accessories in shades of red, green or yellow. The Geppert Guide incorrectly shows some Payton farm animals as being MPC. An easy mistake as some of the Payton animals are knock offs of MPC.
