During the 60s and 70s box sets included red/white, blue/white teams as standard. These figures were moulded onto the base rather than having the regular heavyweight slot fitting.
Early moulded heavyweights dubbed Walkers by collectors, due to the casual pose. Here pictured in short and long sleeve variety.
Three examples of the moulded figure that were available in Subbuteo Box Sets in the 60s and 70s.
Subbuteo collectors have given each distinct type a name, in order to identify them. (l-r) The Scarecrow, Classic Heavyweight, Winged Short
Walkers came in box sets in the 1960s and early 1970s. So are usually only seen in the standard red/white or blue/white kits. However I recently saw an all white - Ref 21 on the internet. They may have also come in white with dark blue shorts like Ref 154.
This team came as part of box set my Mother-in-law found in a second hand shop in Birkenhead. They had been overpainted with long sleeves. I restored them and was so pleased with the results that I put them in a repro box.
A Winged Shorts moulded team. I am restoring these as their shorts had been horrendously overpainted with black gloss.
