Help identifying these figurines...

[ExPLO]

Wanted to say hello to everyone here - this is my first post.


Sorry if this is in the wrong topic, but I really need to know more about these figurines I have...
They were recently found in a box in the garage during our move - we don't even know what exactly these are but that's why I'm here - for all of your expertise.

I have uploaded a few of the pictures through the forums, however the entire album is located here:

Any help towards identifying and valuing these would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys

Look on the bottom of the base. If there is nothing there to start with then type in a description of a figure or what you think it represents and have fun looking on google and ebay till your eyes bleed.

I think you're better of taking this to a specialist/appraiser or perhaps a pawnshop or something. I don't think anyone here on statueforum (where most collect comic/movie/videogame related statues) has any clue how much these will fetch. But you never know

Thanks Sithlord, and vinnie for the advice.

I have sort of narrowed these down to be from Kinder Surprise in the 1960s - 1970s. There is no engraving at the bottom of them but I did the whole "bleed your eyes out on ebay" thing.

As for taking it to a specialist, I have to start looking for one in my area.

Thanks for the advice guys, if you like I can post an update here when I have made some headway.

Cheers, and thanks!

Glad I could offer some help that was worthwhile. Hope your eyes feel better soon

These characters are sold as mass produced pewter figures. You can come across these in various shops and online usually sold in sets.

For example on Amazon:

I'm not sure if the ones you have are mass produced, but they look very similar to the ones in the set above.

definitely a death star gunner, he appears to be holding a giant model of the death star

That is awesome.

They are mass produced I believe. I have like around 50 pieces of each figure - just gotta figure out which set they belong to.

Found them on ebay as well.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

I recognize these. I had quite a few of them as a kid. I never saw the chocolate eggs here in the US. Instead, they came in plastic eggs with candy in one half and a toy in the other half. The figurines were colored bronze instead of silver.
