Condition Report
These are aged items that has stood the test of time, some have been overpainted at some point (man with sandals has had his feet repainted). There is loss of painted sections and some loss to detail to the figure tips as shown. The clothing is worn and aged naturally with missing detail also. Mounted onto newer black painted bases for support and display purposes.  

Its exceedingly difficult to photograph all the areas of these pieces, therefore we strongly suggest reviewing all the photos provided as part of this advert and propose questions where sections are unclear to avoid disappointment upon purchase.
