REMCO Hamilton's Invaders - Pt 28 Bug War Pt 4: Search Party Disaster

With disappearances on the increase, local establish a search party. It did not go well! Survivors of the encounter with The Bugs spoke of their immense size and power. Something more had to be done!

REMCO Hamilton's Invaders - Pt 23 The Toys: The Defenders Pose 7 No RM Number

Here's the last of the Defender figures - a generic driver in white plastic. To the best of my knowledge, there was no RM# assigned to this guy. The 'photo essay' is a bit truncated, with me having only taken two photos Enjoy! Opa Fritz

REMCO Hamilton's Invaders - Pt 19 The Toys: The Defenders Pose 3 RM3 Bazooka Guy

It was only a few days ago when I posted a bazooka guy from 21st Century and both are curiously pointing the bazooka downwards. I wonder how many bazooka guys I had as a kid? Between Marx, Payton, REMCO, and who knows what else, I probably had a few. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

REMCO Hamilton's Invaders - Pt 17 The Toys: The Defenders Pose 1 RM1

Many years ago - in the '70's - Tom Terry of Plastic Figure and Playset Collector, put  out a guide to plastic figures such as Little Green Army men, aliens, spacemen, etc. It was a crude affair - silhouettes printed on letter-sized stationary - but it was a start. I have that guide somewhere out in The Cave and I wish I could say I consulted it when researching the Hamilton's Invaders line. Nope. Instead I turned to Kent Owen Sprecher's Toy Soldier HQ website who used Terry's guide for reference. Anyway, that was just to let you serious collector's know about an early attempt at cataloging toy soldiers, and one of these days I'll dig it out and blog it. Anywho, here's the first pose of my photo essays for REMCO's Hamilton's Invaders Defender Force. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

I totally forgot to include this photo in yesterday's post.

As you can see, REMCO took the entire series and made sets out of all the components

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
