This page consists of Hartland Western figures
wearing gray or black pants. I included the Randall figure here
because his pants are grayish tan. |

  Brett Maverick #862
This was one of the last four or five figures Hartland produced
and is quite hard to find. To me, his arms are slightly out of
proportion and his head is too large, requiring a large hat than
the gunfighter version of his likeness. He usually carries one
brown pistol, possibly silver and may have had an optional rifle.
He rides a mane-down semi-rearing buckskin horse.

 Josh Randall #828
Similar to the Maverick figure above, this one seems out of proportion
to me, too. His head is large requiring a larger hat, but it
does look quite a bit like Steve McQueen. His arms also look
too short but maybe his head causes that. He still looks great
on the shelf! He is certainly one of the hardest figures to find
due to the limited years of production. He carries a single Mare’s
leg rifle on his special gun belt.

 Johnny Yuma, The Rebel #832
Nick Adams played the Rebel in the TV shows. This set
is very desireable as he was the last Western set Hartland produced
and wasn’t available to buyers for a long period of time.
He carries a burnt orange shotgun and ,most often, a brown pistol.
Many collectors like to put a military style pistol with him.
(Repros available). He came
with a standard black saddle with rifle hole. Some collectors
use a Lee saddle with the set, but I don’t believe he shipped
that way.

 General Lee #808
Lee was the first of the generals and is generally easy to find.
Most have a single strap on his left leg for the sword, but a
few do have two straps. Those also have a connecting bar between
his left arm and body. I don’t know why the mold was changed,
but I do believe this oddball one was first. He carries a sword
and Confederate flag.

 Stevens Plastics General Lee
This set was recast in 1993 from the original molds, however
Stevens used the Chubby style horse instead of the walking horse.
They also substitued a thicker plastic poled flag for the bamboo
ones which caused them to have to grind a small slot in the post
to fit in his right hand. The face and gloves colrs are quite
a bit darker than vintage sets. He also carries a sword and Confederate
flag.

 Stevens Plastics Wyatt Earp
This set was produced in late 1993 or 1994 in apparent
connection with the two releases of Wyatt Earp movies, though
I don’t think there was a specific licensing agreement with
either. The took some additional artisitc licensing with this
set by painting his pants black, eleminating some of the trim
on the gun belt. Instead of white plastic, they painted his shirt
off white and his vest is generally pea green. He shipped with
a silver Buntline and regular silver pistol along with a black
hat.

 Black Champ Cowboy #801
This may have been the first 800 series Champ Cowboy. Hard to
say for sure, but it is extremely rare! It is molded in solid
black plastic and then the face, holster and scarf are painted
on top. This figure usually had two Champ style silver pistols.
