mk11 Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Anyone aware of these in scale, along with other western accessories like saddles, etc? mike
slusher Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 I have seen a couple cowboy figures but they was on ebay. I have never seen any saddles.
Casey Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Is this guy close enough to a cowboy, or just wearing a cowboy hat and boots?:
mk11 Posted May 8, 2014 Author Posted May 8, 2014 Lots of truckers wear the hats and boots... I guess there are some similarities at the heart of it; they just ride different mounts I'll have to do some more looking. Sometimes the farm store toys are pretty close. mike
Jairus Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Revell's 1959 issue of the '57 Country Squire kit had a cowboy in it. He's even holding a saddle! I am sure somebody has cast the darned thing by now....

1930fordpickup Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Jimmy Flintstone - http://www.jimmyflintstonestudios.com/ He does figures did not check if he does a cowboy. Ulrick minimen . you just put them together and make a hat to put on them .
Longbox55 Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Fair warning; The Revell Ford Country Squire Wagon commands top dollar prices. Last time I priced one, the vendor was asking $400 for it. Not really worth it for just the figure. I would look for a resin cast copy, like Jarius stated. I would think someone would have done one.

Jairus Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) SWEET Rich!!!! I'm getting one for me. Thank you. I knew one of you guys would know where to find one. Edited May 14, 2014 by Jairus
Old Buckaroo Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) I wonder if this ebay seller is going to wonder why all these just sold in such a short time ? Thanks Rich for the link. Edited May 15, 2014 by Old Buckaroo
Jairus Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Did you guys also get the little cowboy too? He was in the Revell kit as well. I did.http://Little cowboy
Jairus Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Received today! (Fast shipping!!!!) Casting is nice. Cowboy boots have the heels molded weird.... but hardly noticeable. Time for paint.
Jim B Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Nice looking figures. I've been contemplating getting a couple of his other figures. These figures look a lot like the guys on the box art. Did this kit come with figures originally? Are these original figures or copies of those? Maybe it's just me (or the angle of the photo, or something), but the little boy's arms look a little long to me.
Jairus Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 The original Revell kit included the two figures molded in three pieces. Hendrix has taken them and cast them in one piece plus the base. The build up is of an AAM resin kit I built back in '03 or '04 to which I added the Rancharo chassis, front and rear bumpers. But I never had any figures in resin till now. The length of the boys arms includes two cap pistols. Did you take that into account Jim?
Old Buckaroo Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Now that is a sharp looking wagon. I cant wait to see the figures painted up with it.
Jim B Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Yes, I did account for the pistols. It's probably the bet leg posture that he's in that makes them look a little funny in the photo.
Stuntman Mike Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) There are some nice figures available from Scaleproduction. I only have a figure of the Fall Guy, but there are many others and some of them with a hat. http://www.scaleproduction.de/index.php?cat=c12_Figuren-1-24-Figuren-1-24.html&cPath=12&page=1 Here´s the unpainted Fall Guy (Lee Majors): BTW, "ROBOCAIN" is a super rare pre-painted vinyl figure from Kotobukiya. Scale is somewhere in the neighborhood of 1/35, I think. Most impressive small figure I´ve ever seen. The detail is mindblowing. Edited May 19, 2014 by Stuntman Mike
