60mm Goodness

These 60mm MPC figures have subtle differences.  These troops have a shirt, trousers and high boots.

It is the most common uniform for the 60mm ring hand figures.

I use the blue figures for Navy and Air Force mostly.

There are four poses with the shirt, trousers and high boots.

The blue figures have the greatest color variation from turquoise to almost gray.

 

Some of them are even a metallic blue.  I just put all the blue together.



 

The yellow figures are very yellow.

My intention is at some point to clean them.

My experiments last year showed that Oxyclean did the best job of getting them clean.

The yellow figures will shine like new lemons when they are cleaned.

60mm Goodness

The last few weeks I have been sorting my 60mm figure collection.

Each ring hand figure has been inspected.

While being inspected their flash is trimmed off.

Brittle or damaged figures are culled from the herd.

Figures are cataloged by color, pose, and type.

There was a recent toy solder show here in Southern California and I wanted to go.

Since I wanted to buy more troops, I needed to know what I had on hand so I could buy the right stuff.

Tim Mee

Tim Mee updated their Korean War era troops with a range of Cold War soldiers.

They had the M14 rifle and flame throwers for added firepower.

This pose came with an M60 machine gun, but mostly they are lost.  I use the Tim Mee bazooka as a replacement weapon.

They added a marching figure and an ammo bearer.

A second grenade thrower figure and the motorcycle rider finished off the new range.

I have been trimming the flash and inventorying my Tim Mee troops.

 

60mm troops with greater firepower, I love it.

Tim Mee Motorcycle

This is the Tim Mee 60mm motorcycle.

This one was missing a foot.

So I replaced it with a paper clip.

Much better than no foot.

Stands up just fine.

Rides off into the sunset.
