Cherilea Toys
Like many of the key people in the history of plastic figures they began producing products in Lead, the material of the day in pre and early post WW2. As they moved into Plastic production in the 50’s they moved to Blackpool making them one of the few companies not based in London.
Its worth mentioning that Cherilea made many other toys during its life, not just toy soldiers and they are well-known for the large-scale Action Man vehicles and colourful toy Daleks from the every popular British SC-FI programme , Dr Who.
This first look at Cherilea will focus on plastic toy soldiers, space and some Bullfight figures. We will leave some of the other novelty stuff such as the 70mm Batman and Robin Figures, Ken Dodds diddy men, Dinosaurs and other 60’s and 70’s TV related.
