These are not quite pound store figures, as they cost £5 at a Hawkins’s Bazaar shop on my travels.
Manufactured for Tobar, they are of course China copies of the very familiar but now unobtainable Matchbox US Infantry figures. Still 32 figures for £5 is reasonable.
Dull packaging but good little drawstring kit bag for storage.
Good to see the old Matchbox figures available again from time to time.

And they are pretty nice copies as well.

Yes, other Matchbox 54mm copies are around (I have found German Infantry, Afrikaans Korea, Eighth Army and Japanese) but usually far more degraded copies than these Americans.
