Kneeling MPC


This type of sub machine gun works well with the kneeling guy.



The addition of a helmet provides a more military appearance.





This was my favorite pose and the most rare.




They made American Civil War ring hand figures too. Once I saw Rat Patrol I usually used one of the Rebel kepi caps like this guy has on.




This guy has a bugle from an American Cavalry set. This pose has very good ring hands.

Red One

These figures came in a rainbow of colors, this is a red one!





There were two shooting poses, this is the kneeling guy.





The large base is the older of the two versions.





The shoulder is a bit close to the hands and the guns don't fit too well.








They make a Springfield, M-1 rifle, and the M-1 carbine.

Ring Hand Accys



My favorite figures are these 40+ year old MPC ring hand figures.




This one pose can be loads of different figures just by changing out the belt, helmet and weapons.




This guy has a BAR and a helmet.




These guys had a life vest and I use it as body armor. I also use gear from MARX and other companies with these MPC troops.






As you can see the weapons can be in their hands, in firing position or just over the shoulder.

MPC

Some of the gear was made in green plastic and silver plastic. A small amount of gear was done in white and gold for snow and space.



The gear was the same no matter what color.



The figures came in different colors too, this guy is a dark olive drab.




This is another common pose, there are five poses in this series.



One of the items is a bayonet that fits on the end of the rifle. One of the small accy's that makes a nice difference.
