I saw this set of saloon bar cowboys on eBay a little while back but it was just too much money for me. It's by 1960s British maker CHERILEA TOYS, who produced some amazing sets like this, including one of Queen Cleopatra and her courtiers


Cherilea's figures were quite large by toy soldier standards: between 60 and 70mm instead of the more usual 54mm. They were always full of life and character
To me, that set embodies the intent, if not the spirit, of Whack-a-Squirrel.
