REMCO Hamilton's Invaders - Pt 24 The Toys: Set Style #460 Helmet

When I started this Hamilton's Invaders series, I said I didn't have, nor was I interest in acquiring the helmet and pistol that was a part of the line...

...I lied! 😄

A few weeks ago a helmet in fairly decent shape and for a reasonable price, became available on fleaBay and I decided to pick it up. The helmet measures 8" (20.32cm) W x 7" (17.78cm) H and although it was made for kids. it still fits over my fat head! 😄   Now all I'm missing is the pistol.

The clear lenses on my helmet are a bit crinkled, but they're still intact

REMCO Hamilton's Invaders - Pt 16 The Toys: The Defenders

REMCO offered a total of seven 70mm figures to go with their Hamilton's Invaders line: 6 blue action figures and 1 white generic driver. The blue guys were repurposed figures from their line of Little Green Army Men while the driver may have been a new sculpt (I don't have any REMCO vehicles with this guy as a driver so am not entirely sure). The blue figures were given designations by Tom Terry from Plastic Figure and Playset Collector magazine and, as usual, photo essays of each figure will follow in the days ahead. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

REMCO Hamilton's Invaders - Pt 13 The Toys: #464-1 Dwarf Tank

The dwarf tank concept was an interesting one by REMCO. It looks neat, has lots of play value, and being smaller doesn't cost as much to make as a full size main battle tank. Over the years I ended up with two of these tanks and wouldn't you know it - after taking all the photos and doing what I do around here, I packed them up and put them away totally forgetting to get their measurements!! arrrgh! Anywho, this tank has an item number on it: #464-1, features a bubble canopy which raises to reveal a removable driver, the gun elevates, and it fires small orange shells. It is powered by the same type pull-string spring motor used to propel the bugs. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
