Last year we had a fair bit sent-in from
Brian Berke concerning a US importer MTC,
and I noticed the other day that these figures have a feint MTC stamped into the tool's base, not as
clear as the 'China', it would appear to be an afterthought, possibly for a
contract, so it'll be worth looking-out for unmarked 'generic' versions.
Copies of old Marx WWII German Infantry poses, reduced to a sub 54mm (I didn't
measure them but they're on the small side; 45/50mm'ish) - I don't believe
anyone in Italy had anything to do with any part of them, ever!
Equally I don't know if it's the Blogged-last-year
(mostly PVC importer) MTC or another MTC entirely and indeed I think MTC are the old Multi-Toy Corp, which would fit nicely, as these are a very similar shade of plastic as the Love Boat green figures!
On the subject of this new trend for
consumer information on the bases, here Uni-Regent
Holdings have hot-stamped their entire address into the base of one figure,
in teeny-weeny impossible to photograph so that it's readable print! They are a
similar 45/50mm as well.
