Hartland painted two
Cowboys with green pants; Earp and Buffalo Bill. The color
of green used on each figure is slightly different. They also
created the two olive colored Dale Evans and a pale olive early
Champ Cowgirl with a jade green shirt. |

 Buffalo Bill #819
This colorful character carries two guns, either silver
or brown and rides on a special U.S. Mail saddle specific to
him. Its not in the hardest group to find, but is not that
common either. I dont know of any figure variations, though
he may have ridden two or three versions of the similar Chestnut
semi-rearing horse molds.

 Wyatt Earp #809
Wyatt was one of Hartlands first characters and
remained in production almost to the end. He is one of the more
common sets. Intitially, I am fairly certain he came with two
silver pistols. After the introduction of the Earp Gunfighter,
he probably started shipping with the brown Buntline and matching
brown pistol. He seems to have been placed on several different
horses.

 Cowgirl #802
The Jade Green Cowgirl is probably the first one Hartland made
and is the hardest of them to find. She may have been paired
with any number of colors of Champ style horses, but I am fairly
certain she did come on a Palomino.

 Early Green Dale Evans #802DE
The earliest Dale Evans used the Cowgirl molds and were just
given a new olive green outfit. They were paired with a Dunn
and Brown Champ style horse and used the same cardboard shipping
box, but DE was added to the end of the number. She can also
be found on a Chubby horse with unmolded bridle which has a painted
bridle instead. Within a period of time, this figure was replaced
with the Dale figure below. With as many of these pieces as there
are around, that must have taken a while.
Mold Mark: None |

 Green Dale Evans #802 (DE)
This if the official Dale Evans figure, molded after her likeness.
She got the new brown saddle (same mold as the Clayton Moore
Lone Ranger) and the new Chubby style Dunn horse with the bridle
but kept the old number. Some sets were shipped in the earlier
cardboard boxes but she eventually did get a new colorized box
which shows her and Roy Rogers. She has one pistol, usually silver.
