I have been picking up alot of these figures lately. A few weeks ago I got a MOC Lone Ranger & Silver 2 pack for $25 at an antique store. This 2 pack version is supose to be pretty tough to come by (below is a pic). Last weekend I went to the Flea Market and picked up 3 loose Butch & Sundance figures. These 2 figure lines are very well done and I pick them up whenever I come across them cheap. I think there is also a Zorro line that is similar. They are all made by Gabriel in the early 1980s.

They looks cool!
I knew Gabriel named from French.
Made in France? ;D (just kidding)
What country made them?

The package says made in Hong Kong. I don't know if Gabriel made any other action figure lines?

Yes, there was a Zorro line...I had Zorro & his horse (at least I think he had a horse)Got Zorro for x-mas one year when I was a kid (think he came from the sears wish book)& promptly lost him : / Really hated that...haven't seen another since.

Hey undercover, I have everything 3 3/4 inch lone ranger except the western playset and Butch's Horse Smoke. I also have 12 inch figures of the Lone Ranger worn, Tonto worn, Dan Reid with box and everything (LR's nephew), Little Bear, and a naked Butch. It is good to meet others who like the western figures.

You should check out the Legends of the West figures, you can see some on my collection thread under toyboxraider. They are sitting on my enterntainment center in my toy room. My grandfather got me into some of the older Westerns and I have always liked the toys produced for them. The Zorro line is pretty cool too and works well with the LR line.There is also a line called Wrangler and I think there are some pics of those in my figure pictures too. Goodluck.

For my part I only have the Tonto and Lone Ranger PVC made by Hamilton in the early 1990's. They're the same group that made the STar Trek PVC about that time.
They display well and are rather easy to get as the line is short. They're may be other element in it but none that I know of.

I'm not able to figure out what this is, the belt strap looks similar to x-changers and cosmic cowboys. Any help is appreciated. Edit: It's for Gabriel(Lone Ranger)

How big is it?

Post by rawlin on Jun 17, 2012 11:36:24 GMT -6
About the same size as the Cosmic Cowboy belts I would guess, I thought it could have been the Chiefs belt first until I saw they had less details. I don't know if it's new or old. Only text on it is made in hong kong.

Maybe a Lone Ranger belt from the bigger figures in the 80's but I'm not sure on that. It kinda reminded of my old Tonto figure belt from back in the day.

It's crazy how you stirred up an old memory with me that I hadn't had since I was a kid. Cause I just vaguely remember toying with the Tonto belt back in the day and don't remember much else about it. Glad you found out who it belongs to.

I had a few of the Lone Ranger figures. Nice to know there were also different lines from this company. Always liked the way these figures were made.
