Conte Saxons

A couple of Conte Saxon Warriors.

Scotland the Brave

Here's some pics of an early Conte playset, "Scotland the Brave." It's a nice little set, with well-sculpted Afghan tribesman and Scottish Highlanders and a cool two-piece desert building and courtyard. I threw some recast Marx palm trees in the background to add a little color.

Sorry the pictures aren't too good. I just got a new lens and my flash seems to have a hard time talking to it. And it's too damn hot to take these outdoors. I promise better shots when it cools off!

Conte Alamo Figures

It's been all about the Alamo around here recently. Here's some shots of some Conte figures in front of a Classic Toys Soldiers Alamo fort. The Mexican Lancer and the Mexican with the bayonet are the single-color metal figures.

Conte Spartans

I originally got the Conte Spartan figures in red because that was the only color you could get at the time, and I sure wasn't going to wait for the other colors.

Then I got some of the gold ones, and was a little disappointed, the colors were off some of the figures. Third time's a charm I guess, I got some of the silver colored figures, and they are definitely the best. It's just a nice looking color I haven't seen since the old Marx Knights, and it seems to photograph well too.

Conte Pewter Figures

Here's a couple pictures of two of Conte Collectibles single-color pewter figures that were exclusive to the Civil War playsets. They're selling some of these along with some resin figures now.
