I have 2 versions of this figure of James Mason - one in desert short pants and the other shown here in field grey/gray. He is now painted up and wearing his Iron Cross

Three of a 1960's set of six pirates from Charbens. Many of these get re-cast now since a resurgence of interest in old plastics, hence they are more expensive to buy and you need to know the difference. These I got way back when collecting hadn't become the huge thing it is now, so I got them for about 10 pence each at a toy fair from a guy who'd had them since childhood

(The "sand" is coconut flour Moira gave me)

Those fellows sure did a good job burying whatever is on Oak Island with that tiny shovel.

Just watched The Blue Max again last night. James Mason needs more of a five o'clock shadow.

^ He sure does

Two of the old 'Charbens' FFL figures painted by me; rather clumpy in comparison to Crescent's figures shown here:

... but Charbens toy soldiers are possessed of their own charm. The next photo will show Crescent legionnaires' enemies...

Yeah and I don't think either James Mason or old Erwin himself ever wore a monocle.

i think Stewart Granger does as the king in Prisoner of Zenda 1952 causing some confusion in my brain.

Perfectly put in scene and photographed with the sand and the matching background

^ The sand in the photos of the Arab warriors and FFL is brick dust

No Santas or Elves then?
