Lot 48 1971 Britains "Deetail" collectible figures , toy soldiers
Britains "Deetail" collectible figure manufactured in 1971 in England. These figures are known for their plastic soldier tops mounted on heavy metal bases.
The "1971" Stamp: Almost all Deetail figures feature this year on the base. It refers to the series' introduction date rather than the specific year your figure was manufactured.
Unique Construction: The figures were made from PVC plastic (unlike earlier polythene models) and featured plug-in arms. They were attached to the metal base via "footlugs," which are the two grey plastic pegs visible through the slots in your image.
Materials: The bases were cast from Zamak, a sturdy zinc alloy, providing better stability and a "higher value" feel than all-plastic competitors
