Footnotes


Half a dozen of Liebherr's finest.
In the box.
Another set of twins acting in a synchronised way.
These figures are models of mechanics made by the German company, Preiser.  They are painted in Liebherr uniform.

Packaging

The figures come in a small box with a see-through window showing the figures inside.

Detail

Each of the six figures appears to be individually hand painted and they are moulded to include detail such as creases in the clothing.  This set of figures are Liebherr mechanics and are in a variety of poses.

Two of the figures in the review set were duplicates which would seem to be a packaging error by Preiser and six individual figures should be in the box.

Features

With patience the figures can stand on their own two feet, but they will fall over with the slightest touch.  To display the figures a tiny amount of plastic putty under one foot helps them keep their feet.

Quality

The figures are well made and painted, and complement 1:50 scale Liebherr models.

Price

These models are perhaps a little expensive for what is offered but the cost probably reflects the amount of hand work used.

Overall

This set poses well with Liebherr models and provides a good sense of scale against the machines.

Footnotes

One figure is supplied with Conrad 2050, the
Liebherr 630 EC-H 40 Tower Crane.

 
Not only brothers, but twins surely?
There's always one guy that stands around, hands on hips.
