There is a company called Beton that made metal figures in the 1930s and switched over to plastic just before World War Two.
They made basically the same figures in plastic as they did in metal.
They also helped out other companies by setting up production facilities for the.
So some of the figures go by the name Reliable and it's molded into the back of the figures.
So there are differences in the bases mostly that tell you which company made which figures or when they made them.
And the figures come in a lot of color variations. I like the dark green and the olive green.
The figures are kind of chunky and about 60mm tall. They fit well with the very old Tim Mee troops.
They come with the M1917 helmet and later they were modified to the M1 helmet. This guy has a .30 caliber belt fed machine gun. Or a Thompson submachine gun. Or a ray gun. Or something else. So I use him for whatever I want at the time.
