need some ID help, please

[rche]

Hiya folks,

trying to find some names for some faces here. I know quite a few of them, but there are a couple that are escaping me.

Can't recall what the Tong like ninja is from. He is on an LJN body with some sandal feet. Great portrait - very interesting that they did dark hair and blue eyes. little bit of a supes feel.

Also trying to remember what the kid - karate figure is called, and the dark skinned fellow with the crazy hair --- is that one from the Gabriel LR line?

The little fellow on the end of the top row is marked Tonka. Anybody have some insight on that line?

everybody else; Dave, Kotter, Steve, Action lad, and the LJN and wee win fellows I am good with.


Also wondering if anyone knows what the headless fellow in this shot is from? He has some buttons on the back that activate a punch and a chop. And then the leg switches on the buttocks that move the legs up and down. Figure is marked - Largotoysltd




THANKS

Little Karate dude is Yung KungFu (Language Filters Fail), the shorter sidekick from the Kung ** figures by Durham Industries.

The Tong-a-like is actually a Talbot figure - they issued a blond and brown haired re-mold of the LJN Swat Hondo head, using LJN bodies. They had painted, color-matching sandal feet like the Bible figs, and used open-toe Tong-like outfits in confirmed white with black and black with white detail - the difference being Tong and LHT figures had poly stretch knit outfits, and these Talbots are usually a cotton broadcloth jumper with elastic at the leg and arm cuffs like you see here. They would have had cotton head coverings and allegedly silver weapons, but the variety I'm not sure of, because I've only come across them loose in the wild (never sent away for them in the ads in the back of Kungfu comics in the 80's)
Talbot figures also came in Karate style Gi outfits, but I've only seen the white (gi style isn't a personal focus). The Talbot heads should have a painted scar on the cheek.
I'm accidentally becoming a Ninja authority.

The Tonka guy is the husband from the Winnebago set.

thanks everybody.
I am good on all the figures except the headless fellow with all the switches.
Anybody know what the Largotoysltd folks made?

[Den82]

I think the black dude in the tighty whities (no pun) is Scout Bob too.

[rche]

^^ nah, he is LJN

the only one I am still in the dark about is the little figure with all the switches on it.

looks like a headless legend of bruce lee Rche


by the way ... I hate those tonka figures ... they creep me out .. when I get one in a lot I ship it out to some random person LOL.

[RG]

maybe not ... after looking closer

Vintage 1985 LARGO TOYS 6.5" BRUCE LEE figure | eBay ok I was right but it's a lager one than the othe picture

[rche]

mystery solved. I think the Largo toys body belonged to a Bruce Lee figure from 1986.
Too bad the head was not there on that one. That would have been sort of cool.

[RG]

yeah that would be a cool figure to have

Top Photo

Top photo, bottom right, in the red and green suit is Action Boy in a Robin costume. Are you selling him or any of this stuff?

[rche]

^^ I am selling some of the items.
The Action Boy is probably not going to be one of them, tho. He is the reason I picked up the lot.

The Robin suit is a spare for me and it will be up for grabs in marketplace fairly soon, as well as some other spare Captain Action items.
