Re: Lineol soldier toys
Nuno- Nice catch and a whole new collection direction - now you need to keep going as these were also available for all Wehrmacht branches i.e. Navy ,etc also the political models and lets not forget the add ons like bunkers, guard houses etc.
Good Luck

Lineol is almost the same as Elastolin?

Not something I would normally collect but this was described as
Politischer Häftling bei Zwangsarbeit (Political Prisoner in Forced Labour), however Polish forced labour is an area I collect so I bought it without knowing much about its production..made by Leyla. Although I believe the term Zwangsarbeiter is a modern term and one not used by Nazi regime.
Anyone seen others like it or know anything about this figure?
Never seen one like it. However, seems very gruesome made.

Re: Lineol soldier toys
I wondered if the paint looked a little fresh and that someone had painted a farmer figure into KZ uniform? I also mused that a toy maker might not have wanted to venture into a somewhat controversial field either - one imagines that the KZ system was one of those things which was mostly known about but usually discussed in whispers, if at all. However, this is idle speculation, hopefully there is an expert opinion to come.

Your observations somewhat echo my own initial thoughts. But consider if this was a standard farmer figurine why was the head not originally moulded with a hairline rather than having a bald or shaved head? Also if a modern overpaint why is the red triangle patch not painted correctly as these winkels are known to be worn?
I am hoping that someone who collects Leyla figures might shed some light on this little figurine. I am totally open minded about it being an unusual piece or a modern overpaint of farmer or whatever but of course would prefer the former over the latter
I collect, therefore I am.
