Shillman War Heroes

How common or rare are these figures? I can't seem to be able to find out any info on the internet. They're like the Lion Rock figures. From 1986 Brooklyn, New York. Anybody know anything about them?

[Blitzkid]

Have any pics?

[LonnieFisher]

I can't find any info at all. Nothing...

I just got photos of Lion Rock WW2 figures from the 1990s, I'm guessing the molds are still out there.

I remember getting a few of them back in 1987 at Odd Lot in Jersey. Back then I didn't know the lionrock guys even existed.

Nice looking figure.

I really like that fire axe. It looks big for a Lion Rock figure, though. Was that "inspired" by an 8" figure accessory?

[AAAAA]

i purchased a lot of these in 82-83 in woolworth stores
its the tin mans ax ,I have nine of the figures listed

The pictures did not load when I initially saw the thread-I had also bought a few of these at odd-lots here in new york and also at a local discount store called co-op that had LJN mister action stuff into the early 90's-Well put together figures but other than that I know nothing else.

Yeah! They were everywhere around here back during the early/mid 80's, and they were really cheap. I still have a bunch, mostly missing accessories. They were very well done.

I would love to find out who has them!

Shillman was a New york toy company who made their mark mostly with dolls. Some of which I have been told...by someone on here a long time ago (cant remember who?)...used Mego's Maddie Mod figures and accessories. They also reused old molds from a late sixties 7 inch doll line, and released it in the late seventies...pscychodelic sixties clothes and all. I'm betting, judging by their history, they used the same factories Mego did, and made use of their molds.


As I'm typing this, I remember the conversation started when somebody posted a mid seventies fashion doll line put out by Shillman that was packaged to look exactly like Hasbros Charlies Angels line. The doll in question looked like she used the Wonder Girl body....anybody else remember this?

[LonnieFisher]

They sold Mini-Mod instead of Maddie Mod. There are a lot of that stuff on ebay. Just nothing like my figure.
