WWII AND MODERN MILITARY FIGURES

MPC made five character figures to go with their army "Camp Swampy" playset based upon the popular Beetle Bailey comic strip of the times. General Halftrack figure only marked "General".

15.00 Beetle Bailey (1)

15.00 Sarge. (1)

15.00 Killer. (1)

15.00 Zero. (NONE)

15.00 (General) Halftrack. (1)

Comical figures made in 1966 to go with their Motor masters tank. The figures are hard plastic and factory painted.

NONE - All four motor masters tank figures.

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 frustrating to many kids as they just didn't look right.

We have seen one source list that there are four different MPC WWII belts. Well as you can see above we have found 11 different belts. The top two were probably made by Marx. It is possible that when MPC made their new better GIs they made a new set of accessories. It is also possible that some of the above accessories were made by Andy Gard who modeled their accessories after MPC. In addition to the belts, you can see three different submachine guns, three different carbines, two different rifles, two different pistols, two different life belts, and three different helmets in the pictures above.

In order to keep up with the competition MPC made a set of more realistic armymen for their ringhand series. They were better detailed than the "generic" earlier figures and much more popular with kids. They were made in green for armymen, blue for Marines, Navy, or Air Force personnel, gold as spacemen and a series of bright colors (such as hot pink!) to perhaps grab the attention of small children. The kneeling figure was made with two base styles; elongate and oval shaped as can be seen to the below. In later years the mold was revised to make the bases smaller to perhaps use less plastic.

The Andy Gard 54mm figures are often mistaken for MPC figures. What we have for sale will be found in the "All Other Vintage USA Made" sales list. They are the same size as MPC & Carzol. A company known as CARZOL in Canada copied the later MPC military ringhand poses. Not very common. Each is marked Carzol and has a mold cavity number under the base.

Tanks are marked Multiple Toymakers made in Hong Kong and are roughly 1/72 scale. Figures with plug in heads and other accessories 1/32. Look like Vietnam War Special Forces to us.

WWII Japanese Infantry

WWII Russian Figures

In later years MPC made their figures in new colors. The Russians were made in blue, red, gray & bright green.

WWII German Infantry

New Marx C0 1990s Battleground commemorative set. Only Marx pieces in the set are the two space cannons (German nebelwefers??). The 60 figures and both pillbox fronts were made from ex MPC molds so we list the set here. Also included are Sherman & Tiger II tanks made by BMC, two balsa gliding airplanes and some generic accessories from perhaps Hong Kong. Comes in a nice box and would make a good Christmas present.

1977 catalog - - Battling Buddies, 5 inch figures.

Like their 5-6 inch cowboys and Indians, the MPC large scale GIs came with separate accessories. There are ten poses each with two accessories and they were made in green and metallic blue.
