This one is a useful figure as is, but if you get more than one, and you get two in a bag, some conversions are possible. I took the shovel and hat head from another figure from the set and removed the 4 x 4 lumber.
Another head looking another way plus and attempt at a sledge hammer...
..or a pick.
When you blow these figures up using a digital camera, flaws show up like the tools not really fitting in the hands. Better blending with knife, file, and sand paper will fix that.
I took the wounded figure and grafted the "4 X 4" figure's top half. The joint is hidden with a rope belt.
The top half of this figure had many uses for making individuals. I even see these figures as artillerymen.
Even a grafting of the "Machete Guy" with the "4 X 4" guy with
TSSD spare rifle....
A piece of heavy thread makes a rope belt.
Toy Soldiers of San Diego will sell you spare rifles and other weapons at a reasonable price.
"Maverick Collecting" pointed out that these figures could make base figures for Chinese Boxers from 1900.
