    New Catalogue Find: Schildkroet 1977 (GESTERN WAR'S)

    You cannot imagine how exited I was when I first saw pictures of this new catalogue that I got recently
    It's a catalogue from German distributor Schildkröt from 1977 that includes a few pages
    with pictures of the GESTERN WAR'S line (Mego/Lion Rock WWII figures).

    Here's page 31:



    These old catalogues are really interesting because of the prototypes / mockups, and there's a lot of them here.


    The boxes have English language text on them.
    I assume they are prototype "Johnny Action" boxes, but with a GESTERN WAR'S logo on them
    (and the logo is an early version too; the small text "Serie 1" is missing):



    The small booklet shown in front of the box is a prototype too.
    Ironically it has pictures of the U.S. Paratrooper and Seabee , two of the figures that weren't released in Germany...


    And the "Sammelalbum" is a prototype / mockup too. Looks like it was handmade (with a felt tip pen) :

    Pages 32 - 34 have pictures of the 32 figures that were released in the GESTERN WAR'S line.
    The pictures are essentially the same ones that were also used for the leaflet
    that was shown here some time ago. But there's one interesting variation.

    Page 32:



    Now this is interesting. On the leaflet the Africa Corps soldier had a flag. But it was white.
    Here you can see the flag:
