I see. I wonder if one of the third party Brie Larsen head sculpts might not work for this.

Or maybe KIMI KT004 or KT010?

I’m pretty sure that’s one of the “wannabe Charlize Theron” heads — but I can’t remember who made them.

Alas, I can't not think of Brie as Captain Marvel so I'm unable to use her for Agent 13.

Also, what bodies were used for these figures? I was thinking of getting a Phicen/TBL M33 for Cap but I wonder if it might be too small. Thanks!

Thank you so much! Found one that will work quite well.

Just got to say, this is probably the friendliest and most helpful forum I've been to. Thank you!

Found it! It was GAC Toys, as I suspected but at first couldn't confirm. There appear to have been two issues with several different hair variations using the same head sculpt: GC006 and GC019. Here are some eBay links to some of these, but you can look around.

Edit: Crossposted with rui. You have found one of these indeed. And now that I look at it, I can see Charlize Theron in there.

Thank you for the kind words!

In the photos the Chris Evans head is definitely on an M33 (which is actually quite muscular, even if relatively slender for the TBLeague bodies -- only M31 and M32 are more slender), and Michelle/Charlize is (if memory serves) on an S23B. In fact, I think I remembered to use the same head on the same body in the catalog thread,

I have the GC019 (blonde) version, It's a really good headsculpt! I grabbed one last year.

More items from German miniature shops.

A crate of milk bottles.



A crate of lemonade.



A crate of Goldköpfchen beer.

Found in a local supermarket for 2.49 € : a skateboard by Simba. Complete with spare wheels and tools.

Not meant for dolls but for practising with your own fingers.

Schleich miniature animals are sold by the Müller chain in Germany. Some of the animals are 1:6 or close to it.

Some nice stuff. The bottles are really cool — I especially like the milk bottles (very 50s).

Found this Vespa on a small site.  Completely  made of sheet metal. Poor finish, construction and paint job. The "53" and stripes may have been added at a later stage.
It's construction method suggest that this is neither a toy or scale model though rather a trinket found in souvenir shops. I think I'll repaint it, it's just too ugly.
Any ideas where this comes from ?

Interesting. It seems to be about the right size. Just please don't paint it pink! I think you could imitate the surface of tires by either gluing on some type of patterned adhesive tape and/or applying thicker paint with a rough brush.

It may look bad, but it photographs very well with just the right amount of decay, rust and patina. The red and blue stripes really look painted by hand - and I mean that in a good way. It looks like a genuine barn find from the time before old scooters became fashionable.

Series discussed and several examples shown (wow, 7 years ago) here:  https://www.onesixthwarriors.com/forum/sixth-scale-action-figure-news-reviews-and-discussion-/788931-those-funny-d%C3%A9cor-motorcycles-%C2%96-used-gangster-kingdom.html

This is possibly worth flagging:  from Dollarama stores, this nice barrel for Can$4 (= US$3).  I was going to use it to post a St Patrick's Day pic, but I ran out of time (maybe next year).  Entirely credible shape and size, though obviously for general use it would need a repaint, and the handle would have to be sawed off or concealed.  The sepia pic gives a better idea of how it would look without the glaring green colors.

,

If it wasn’t for the St. Patrick’s color that looks like a fairly decent barrel — could possibly be repainted to look fairly good (with a bit of weathering, too).

Thanks MBAM for the barrel suggestion. Certainly worth looking into. You lucky Canadians!

I did not realize that DarthJ's Vespa is one of those Hobby Lobby decor pieces. I have seen some of them (other vehicles) and they are indeed undersized, as MBAM's male figure seems to demonstrate nicely. But it looked more promising with DarthJ's ladies.

I am not so sure my Vespa is from Hobby Lobby Decor as the quality is a few steps below the "British Flag" Vespa. They even used screws and other generic parts instead of properly shaped ones.

Yeah, I noticed that your Vespa isn't identical to the one I had in hand for my original pics, but I figured it came under the same general class of welded metal Décor motorcycles, or whatever we want to call them. Neither my Vespa nor the other ones in my pics were Hobby Lobby either, I got them in Canada from HomeSense (or Marshalls or Winners) which are all TJ Maxx companies in the US. Hobby Lobby came into it because that is where Pontiacivan got his in the very first post. AFAIK none of these have a brand name, even on any attached tags, so there's no telling whether it's one single manufacturer or just a general class of items maybe copying each other. With a 7 year gap, they could also just have made two different Vespas.

I can't suggest any reliable current brick and mortar source for these, which is too bad because for any 1/6 use we'd want to see the scale in hand (and online sellers as Décor won't fuss over the exact scale) . Inventory in the Homesense / TJ Maxx side is always randomly unpredictable, but I haven't seen any of these in recent years. Hobby Lobby inventory is more fixed at any given time, but afaik they haven't had these in recent years (though I haven't been to a HL since the border closed a year ago).

Today I got this all metal WW2 "BMW Ordonnans" from a Dutch site. Cost me 32 Euro. It was gamble but the scale is right for larger figures such as Action Man.

Nice find and scale. This one won't need much work to make it look just right.

Can I ask what site?
Well, apparantly I can, now the question is, can you answer?

I'll give you a link later. There is one motorcycle left for sale and I hate competition.

The seller told me there would be more in the future but it's all from his own collection so I don't expect too much.

Don't worry, I don't really want the motorcycle. It's mostly curiosity to see what else they've got. Which might be another concern for you

You are not the only one who can use that link. There isn't much to see anyway except a metal doubledecker, somewhat smaller scale.

Not bad bike — looks like something we’d find here in the States from Hobby Lobby.

Stryker2011 wrote:Not bad bike — looks like something we’d find here in the States from Hobby Lobby.

Agreed. Although most of the Hobby Lobby bikes are either a little undersized or too much art, too little realistic model.

This is the site and seller. Some new big tractors are available, I have asked for the scale. They seem to be similar to the Piko/Anker Fortschritt which is about 1/9th scale.

https://www.marktplaats.nl/u/jan/22051840/

I got my bikes. Meanwhile the seller has posted a new German WW2 sidecar. Not cheap though.

The tractors are probably 1/9th scale, too small. The motorbikes are all "near" 1/6th scale, usable.
