Available November-December are three figure sets from Master Box's Outlaw -Gunslinger series.
Pedro Melgoza - Bounty Hunter (35205)
In those harsh and mercilessly cruel times the line between the outlaw and the officer of the law was incredibly thin. The history of the Wild West knows about the cases when yesterday’s outlaw became an uncompromising defender of the Law, and vice versa. Besides, the methods of dealing with the violators of the law were very simple and cruel, and the court and reprisals were quick and merciless. One of the methods of fighting the crime was the phenomenon of Bounty Hunters, when the Law declared an award for the capture of the outlaw. Many desperate thugs considered hunting for a criminal as an opportunity to earn money and they went in a dangerous pursuit. One of such Bounty Hunters is shown in this kit.

Gentleman Jim Jameson - Hired Gun (35204)
The figure depicts a hired killer. It may be seen as a single-minded killer, an extremely dangerous adventurer looking intently into the eyes of the victim. The kit includes the figures of a rider and a horse with full equipment matching exactly the equipment of that time.


Marshal Tom Tucker, Molly and Rebecca Hanson (35203)
The kit includes the figures of the wounded Marshal (Tom Tucker), a horse, a young woman (Rebecca Hanson) and a little girl (Molly Hanson). We would emphasize that the figure of the horse has interchangeable elements that allow giving different poses to the horse and, accordingly, different emotions.

I'm watching Good, Bad, and the Ugly for about the 40th time right now as I type this. The wife accidentally discovered it on Starz (and is probably still kicking herself for doing so) Tuco's got a Colt Navy 1951, as did Blondie.

Love how Tuco mixes and matches the parts to make a tight shooting pistol. Black powder guns needed some fine tuning!

Clint starts out with one of these in the beginning when he shoots Tuco's rope, but by the end of the movie he has a Sharps rifle. I guess by mixing and matching you can portray some classic movie scenes.

Really doubt if that were possible. In those days a gun was made by one person and he made the parts to fit, by hand. Another gun, even if the same type and caliber, having it's parts forged by hand, would have lots of small differences preventing them from working when interchanged with another weapon. It either wouldn't fire, or blow up in the person's hand.

I disagree David as I am very thankful they are in 1/35 as they are cheaper and more versatile with using other 1/35 scale figures for conversions. 1/32 scale Civil War/ Western figures are mostly in metal which is dearer for shipping (weight) and much more work for conversions. Anyway I'm hoping Masterbox keeps pushing out these lines as it has created a whole new realm for the figure modeller.

I believe that's actually supposed to represent a Henry repeating rifle, which did use a larger round. I think the second CAD rendering (held by the woman) is a Winchester. VR, Russ

Though about long guns, it does go into the revolution in machine tooling that was epitomized by Springfield armory in the early 19th century. (And copied by Colt. He wanted government weapons contracts) Guns like the Colt were factory produced from uniform machining and having easily interchangeable parts was a selling point. Don't want the gun going all ka-blooy when faced with the bad guys and have to find a specific gun Smith to fix it! Get a Colt patent firearms revolver with easily interchangeable parts!

I stand corrected. I was considering the previous century.
