I recognised the Atlantic Roman figure No. 5 but the others?
Fellow Peter Laing collector Ian Dury recently sent me some 15mm Peter Laing Victorian Parade range figures (that had come originally from Tony Adams) and added some spare Airfix AWI figures to add troop strength to my ImagiNations armies. Thanks Ian.
Ian also included a couple of Hong Kong figures “that I might find interesting.”

Clearly marked Hong Kong on the base, so pre-1997 handover?
One (no. 4) looks like a scaled down OOHO version of the Greek Trojan Herald figures of the 1960s? They should be able to join my Airfix Roman figures.
The encyclopaedic site of Small Scale World by Hugh Walter mentions and shows these figures 2 to 5 as Giant related Hong Kong figures. Thanks Hugh!

I noticed that the Native American Indian warrior on horseback is a close match for Peter Laing’s slender 15mm figures, so he shall no doubt join them in action one day. He should fit in well once the tail is fixed with some simple drilling and a pin link for the tail.
Peter Laing’s horses are quite distinctive or as Phil Barker described them in his 1970s KTG: Know The Game series Wargaming booklet “Horses sometimes a little strange”. This often helps you pick out Laing figures amongst job lots of old 15mm figures.
The plastic Ancients will join the Airfix and Atlantic figures that have survived from childhood for future repair, painting and gaming.

I always had a soft spot for Peter Laing figures 🙂
He also used to do a generous discount for club orders over a certain amount

I remember that he had very good customer service and fast return, even for small pocket money schoolboy orders. There is a small collectors circle for Peter Laing on MeWe

I’m glad you like the extra figures. I also had some of the Greek figures that are mention in Hugh Walters’ blog – two archers and two spearmen that came with a set of clip together plastic castle wars and towers.
I still have (part) of one of the archers – became brittle with age and broke up. Your post has prompted to see if I can find the others.
Ironically, though I had a number of Herald ‘Trojans’ – I never made the connection before that these were scaled-down copies!

Thanks for these, again. That is the problem with 50s 60s 70s plastics as they turn brittle with age. Not a problem for Peter Laing metals! When I get to painting and basing my remaining Atlantic and Airfix Ancients I shall include these figures in the group.
