About "deetail"

54 mm, 1/32 scale plastic figures on metal bases. First introduced in 1971 the range reached its peak in the early 1980's. The range was downsized in the late 1980's and production moved to China in the early 1990's. The figures are factory painted apart from the "superdeetail" * range which are manufactured by over moulding different coloured plastics. Also produced were vehicles and other accessories in metal and plastic. The bases state Britains Ltd 1971. This is the date when copyright was applied for, for the metal bases and the "deetail" trademark, not the issue date for the figures. Some ranges of figures have been produced in both countries others only in the UK or China.

* - Note the difference between "superdeetail" which are overmoulded figures produced during the early 1980's and "Super Deetail" which are more detailed paint versions of the standard range of figures first released late 2006.

Catalogues - catalogues featuring the deetail range can be found on my "Manufacturers Catalogues and Other Reference Books" page.

"Superdeetail"

These figures are not painted like the rest of the deetail range but are manufactured by overmoulding different coloured plastics. This method of production was more widely used by Timpo for their "swopitt" figures.

Super Deetail Unboxed Sets and Single Figures
New for late 2006 / early 2007 are "super deetail" - new, more detailed paint versions of the deetail range.

Unfortunately Britains have started sending trade boxes of figures that do not contain full sets, I have taken this up with Britains both in the UK and US and am awaiting to see if they will change their policy. Although I will try my best I cannot guarantee 6 different poses at the present.
