Outlaw and U.S. Marshall

The Old West.  Of all of the historical periods of the United States The Old West has been the most romanticized, written about and made popular.

Novels, movies, TV shows, comic books, toys-The Old West has been memorialized in a plethora of pop culture items.

In the early 2000s the toy company Dusty Trails put out two series of 6-inch action figures.

One of the figures from its Action Series 2 was a U.S. Marshall Tombstone from the Old West.

Subsequently in the Action Series 1 an Old West Outlaw was produced and released.

The Outlaw has minimal articulation.  It’s more of a miniature statue than action figure.

The figure is poised in a shootout position with legs spread, its left arm extend behind it for balance and the right hand set forward with fingers set for brandishing the silver revolver.  

It wears blue/gray pants and jacket with a light blue long sleeve shirt with large buttons and a red bandana around its neck.

The Outlaw also wears a red cloth waistband, a gun holster with a large buckle and slots for bullets, wide leather spat spurs and black boots. 

His face sports a mustache and lower lip beard, deep set eyes, heavy brows, a sharp chin and nose and close cropped black hair.

His jacket is open and furled back as if The Outlaw was shifting to draw and heavy wrinkles and creases are on his pants and other garments denoting extended arm and leg movement.  He wears a black hat with the lid slightly turned upward on its right front.

He comes packaged in a bubble pack with an inner form-fitting cocoon, a large The Outlaw logo, a large photo of the figure from the waist up and a base that looks like a section of an Old West road complete with pebbles and rocks.

Color application is smooth, well defined between flesh and clothing with no slopover edges or missed areas.

The color application, sculpting and plastic cocoon are similar as The Outlaw with the Marshall.

The U.S. Marshall figure stands posed wit hi right arm slightly raised with his left arm more to his side.  Both hands are positioned to hold the twin revolvers that come with the figure.

Dressed a round rimmed hat, a white shirt, red bowtie, dark gray vest with button and a watch fob, a dark gray long coat with silver Marshall badge on it lapel, dark gray trousers with a brown belt/holster with silver buckle and two gun holsters and dusty black boots it makes an imposing figure.

The face has a mustache, is angular, has short crop hair and a long straight nose.

Its long coat appears to be swirled back as if The Marshall is about to fire.  The figure’s legs are spaced with the right leg forward and the left back.

Because it is a Series 2 figure it includes not only a base that looks like a boarded sidewalk but the front of a saloon with twin swinging louvered doors and a partial logo and wood frame with wood slats.
