Ideal Sailors


I added my Ideal sailors too.


They fit nicely with the Tim Mee figures.


Colors and size are the same.


The poses also complement the Tim Mee.


The one on the left is holy stoning the deck.  It's a rock used to polish the wooden decks.  The other man is checking the depth of the water with a line and a lead.

Hello,
Actually, the guy with the rope with the ball on the end has a "heaving line". That ball makes the rope go farther so you can tie off the boat. They used to be called monkey's fists.

A real shame that toy company went under...they made a LOT of cool stuff, and the figures were some of the best out there at the time.

Carry on

Yes, Ideal made some wonderful stuff and it does not seem to have made it to the recast market either. Very sad.
