Item Description
Set of three. Each is designed w/great detail of facial expressions and uniforms. Color accents are equally detailed and done w/care. Each comes w/cloth noose around their necks. Tojo's noose is white, Mussolini's is red, Hitler's is blue. Tojo stands 11" tall. Dark accents to eyes, eyebrows, mustache and hair. Yellow tint to skin tone. Silver luster eyeglasses, gold luster highlights to uniform epaulets, buttons and belt buckle. Brown accent to belt and holster. Head is tilted slightly to the right to give a hung effect. Mussolini stands 12" tall. A detailed frowning face w/raised eyebrows. Gold and silver luster to uniform. Great detail work to facial expression, especially on forehead, eyes and around mouth. His head is tilted forward. Hitler is 12.5" tall w/equally detailed design to face and uniform. He wears a frown w/his hair combed over one eye. Additional accents to eyebrow, eye, mustache and mouth. An armband w/swastika appears on his left arm. His head is tilted to the left. Each stands upright on large (almost exaggerated) black boots. When displayed together, it appears the artist may have Mussolini in the center w/his head tipped forward, Hitler to the right leaning in, Tojo to the left leaning in. There is no identification as to maker. Exquisite detail and color. Only set we've seen. No chips, cracks, paint loss. Appears to be Mint as made. In our estimate, the ultimate in Anti-Axis figural items. From the Hake collection.
