NZ Cowboys

Hello, I am back My old name was 'NZ TIMPO" and now 'Elektro-grün', so you can see I learned some German

Here are some pictures of some new cowboys I have. More to come later
Nev

Hi Nev,

welcome back

Nice Cowboy on the 1st picture.
The white handkerchief is not made by Timpo.

The coach driver on 2nd picture is damaged.
Those 2nd series legs are missing the overmoulded black belt.
The loose brown belt is for use with 3rd series coach driver legs.

Andy

Hi Nev,

wow, very nice cowboys.

Thanks Tom

Thanks Andy and Tom

Andy, I will have a closer look at the white necktie, why do you think it is not Timpo, because of the shape or because it is white?

The NZ Orange/red stagecoach driver legs I am told are very rare. Sorry but you are incorrect Andy, because NZ Timpo does not follow UK rules, those legs were produced here without overmoulding.

Nev

Hi Nev,

well its possible that Prestige did those driver legs without
overmoulding belt. The loose belt wont really fit on those
legs. Never saw this befor, sorry.
The fall of the folds is definitly 1st/2nd series.

The white necktie usually comes from the Honk Kong copies,
but maybe Prestige used white for them too. Everything is
possible, thats the magic of Timpo

Cheers
Andy

Hello Andy, yes there were white neckties here, I have about 10 other NZ timpo figures wearing them. And I bought them from a man who said he bought them like that from a shop when he was a boy.


Nev

Wow, thats great !!

Hi Guys,

does anyone know whether the brown or black neckties were all produced by Hong Kong or have they also been produced by Timpo, possibily in NZ ?

Thank's in advance

Cheers

Michael

Hi Michael, I have only been collecting for 6 months, I have not seen any that colour yet
Nev

NZ orange red cowboy with silver pitchfork.
'Devil cowboy'
Nev

Hi Nev,

wow, red legs and brown holster, a truly rare specimen - impressive.
I've only seen it once.
Maybe it's a standard cowboy in NZ

BTW: the pitch fork is from the farm series. As far as I know, the original cowboy should have a knife.


Michael

Thanks Michael, yes you are right about the pitchfork but I don't have any Timpo knives yet

About the cowboy, I thought the interesting part about him was the NZ orange/red colour, I did not know that the brown holsters were unusual too, so thank you for pointing that out. I do think they are common like that here in NZ.
Nev

Brown holsters are standard, but not on 2nd generation cowboys with red trousers.

Michael

The silver fork is very special anyways, because
the usual heyfork is in grey colour !!

Andy

Yes Andy, I also have a silver rope coil, I will show a picture soon.

Next, I will show you some pictures I took for a friend of some of his Timpo spares which he intends to sell later, it includes something which you will not believe your eyes Coming in about one hours time.

Nev

Here are the pictures of my friend's spares, he wants to become a member here but technical problems have delayed that. The pictures are for discussion, when they go on sale, I will advise about that in the appropriate forum section.
Enjoy
Nev

Flourescent yellow cowboy legs, extremely rare.








Lime green base, yes it is REAL!!!

This is one of my cowboys, lime green.
Nev

rather interesting.
I know of Apache rifle shooters in lime green - allegedly there were only 20 - 30 of them in total.

Keep it coming


Michael

Another cowboy of mine
Nev

Here is a picture of a collection I purchased, since it is mostly cowboys, I put it here. I will put pictures of each figure in a photo gallery which I will build soon on my new website www.timpo-collector.co.nz You can see a larger size picture of the one below on my site too.
Nev

Hi Nev,

I was as if struck by lightning as I saw this picture. We all would be very happy if you could give up some pictures of the lonely Cowboys in this forum.

Hello, here is another new cowboy in my collection
Nev

What the hell you will find anymore in NZ?

Claus.

Hi Nev,
Those are the rider's trousers in orange an Original Timpo part?
I have the same color and am not sure to me.
I have never seen them else, only in your photo.
Is it from NZ?

Hello Armin
Yes they are genuine NZ Timpo orange legs, you are very lucky to have them as well, I am sure they are very valuable, only a few pairs known to exist.
