Marx Ready Gangs The Sundown Kid and Lone Ranger Tonto restoration and kitbash and posing with this vintage plastic Lassie Dog marked Hong Kong No 101🧒

They look great Ian.

It's my understanding the Sundown Kid is very hard to find.

Very cool Ian, he looks great!

That aftermarket action figure case is an interesting piece! I do not recall ever seeing one of those before.

I remember a variety of cases for miniature toy cars and trucks, both "name brand" and aftermarket, but I don't recall vinyl cases for 12-inch action figures.

Cheers Daryl I'd agree he's a difficult figure to find especially in the UK, This one was missing a foot when I got him so I've made him a replacement, hes quite an unusual figure with the blond4e hair and 4 o clock shadow, I believe he was modelled on Clint Eastwood from the Spaghetti western era Cheers Ian

Hi Dave I picked the case up earlier this year and hadn't seen one like this before, there is an error on the graphics and it says Long Ranger instead of Lone Ranger, not sure if this is a deliberate mistake or done for Copyright reasons, scratch: I've also got another Vinyl case that I picked up from the States, this one is quite cool and even has a seat inside for your figure to sit and display through the jeep window

Cheers Ian

Wow! That Jeep-style "Combat Man" case is really impressive!

It's amazing to me that you find these vinyl cases intact! From what I recall, even as a kid, the vinyl tended to give way along the seams and at the corners within a few years.

Wow, you seem to find the rarest items! The Sundown Kid is very hard to find in the states,
and the Combat Man's case is also very hard to find, especially in such good shape!

Thanks Dave and yes I'm also amazed at the condition of these as cheaper plastics and vinyl pieces back in the day often fell apart when the drying out of the materials happened here's a couple of my Buddy Charlies checking out the Jeep case Cheers Ian

Thanks, Daryl yes I seem to have been lucky but I also have good friends that help me to find some of my pieces we help each other out with things on our side of the pond here's what the Sundown Kid and Tonto were like when I picked them up Cheers Ian
