These Lido guys, averaging about two inches tall, were peculiarly flat (maybe their molds were limited as to depth?), often short-limbed, and sometime awkwardly posed. Like everyone else, Lido did cowboys & Indians, knights, and Civil War soldiers (all coming eventually to this space), but I think they were only American company other than Marx (who did a great Captain Gallant set) to make Foreign Legion and Arab figures, complete with camels.

Some nerve, showing the one you swooped from me.
ReplyDeleteWhich one is he? I should build a shrine for him.
ReplyDeleteThe blue Legionnaire. What a great idea, a shrine for brigands, usurpers, and rogues. You could start a cult. I'd join.
ReplyDeleteI have 3 of those men and one camel. Earlier I searched for them and couldn't find anything online. Lido!

ReplyDeleteI had this set & the plastic desert scene with hills & a road- perfect for an ambush. This and others were lost in a move many years ago- so sad but great to see the figures are still around
