TOY SOLDIER HQ INC

PLASTICRAFT, PREMIER & THOMAS TOY ITEMS FOR SALE

These animals were first made by Renwal in the late 50s for their zoo playset. Renwal decided to get out of the toy business and concentrate on their model kits and sold off their toy molds in the 1959/60 period. Plasticraft bought a number of the molds like the Viking Ship, Panama Canal, drawbridge and zoo sets and sold the items in their own packaging. Pictures courtesy David Schafer.

The one or two years Renwal sold the zoo animals they were made in a peach flesh color similar to that used by Marx in the 1960s for their Daktari Playset jungle animals. This lead to some confusing later in the collecting market with the Renwal animals thought to have been made by Marx. Plasticraft ran the figures in the rainbow colors of; red, blue, yellow & green and sold them in header bags and blister cards.

These figures were made for Archer in the 1952/53 time frame. They had them made in metallic green hard plastic for their space sets. They were also sold separately in small boxes in army green hard plastic and it seems some in soft plastic as well. When Archer decided to quit selling toys and work on child guidance/educational products in the 1956-63 time period they sold the mold to Plastic Craft (Plasticraft)who made the soldiers in soft plastic. Older figures were made in silver, other metallic colors, tans, browns, red and yellow. Later figures were made in army greens.

Premier was based in New York City as was Lido and evidently used the same mold maker as their figures bear a striking resemblence to Lido's figures. Some of the cowboys and Indians are exact copies of Lido's figures.

All but the horse and two cowboys are direct copies of Lido figures and were probably made by the same mold maker. Only when found with the two distinct cowboys in the same colors do we list the "Lido" poses here as Premier. The Darlie Boutique company like Premier (and most other major toy companies) had space in the Toy building at 200 Fifth ave in NYC and probably got the figures after Premier went out of business.

They are 40/45mm in size. The bagged set (thanks to Mike Handley for locating this set) contains the Army poses. We think the two Air Force poses were sold with airplanes. The Air Force figures are older and can be found in hard and soft plastics (some feel these were made by LIDO). These are probably copies of the Army figures were made and included in a Renwal rocket battery model kit.
