Moulded Classic Heavyweight - Generic Red

Moulded figures from the sixties and seventies took a variety of forms, as I have discussed on the blog already. Today's post shows the moulded classic heavyweight figure. It's the same as a regular HW but the feet are attached to the disc (so it is one piece...moulded in fact).

This figure type usually turns up as the generic red and blue teams, but England, reference 154 is fairly common too. The Football Express boxes also contain them, and there again they turn up in a variety of other kits (see my earlier post on this).

I've photographed two of the generic red teams I own. First up you can see the difference in the shades of red. Secondly the team on the left has white socks and the other is basically a reference 161.
