TEHNOLOG: Historical Figures.

These are some of Tehnolog's historical and sci fi figures.    Most of these figures work great for fantasy humans.  The guys below are a good sized fraction of Tehnolog's Fantasy Battles historical sets, but there are several more.  Tehnolog's webpage has a list for all of these figure sets.  They call the list  "Armlisty"  The translations of the unit names are interesting but not always very informative.

MHP: The Black Knight

The Black Knight may have been released multiple times.  MPH is short for Midwestern Home Products, and is likely just one of several distributors. Some sets were also distributed by a company called Manley. The Manley sets include bags of plastic bootleg Britains knights and are dated 1996. The figures that come with the carded sets from MPH are bootlegs of Simba knights and are made of soft rubber, and have no date on the package. Some of the Simba knight copy figures are dated 1995, and some are undated.  The dragons, if you can call them that, are rubber and dated 1984. I don't know what they were originally. 

I am redoing this post to include some of the Manley figures I have recently found and some new pictures of the dragons.  I am also taking this opportunity to show off my army of Britains bootleg knights.   I have taken most of my mounted bootlegs from these Black Knights sets, but also have a bunch of other Britains copies from Polotoy and Helm Toy.   The Britains copies from Manley are a flat and poorly detailed plastic. Polotoy and others put out copies in a softer more translucent plastic.  These figures are a touch larger, and better detailed than the flat plastic figures.
