Red Sleeves - Custom Apache Scout

This is a Custom Red Sleeves Figure in an "Apache Scout" outfit.


The vest and pants are from the "Gun Runners" outfit for Tonto.
I removed the adornment that was running up the sides of the pant legs.
He is wearing a pair of Lone Ranger boots.
I made the loin cloth, head band, and arm bands from a bandana.
The necklace is made from leather and beads.


The bow and arrows are from a Captain Action Tonto figure.
The quiver is from a Red Sleeves "Arrow Version".

Red Sleeves - The Fierce Apache

Red Sleeves (1975-76) Gabriel Industries
Sometimes friend and sometimes foe of the Lone Ranger.


I have seen a lot of these for sale "loose" that have
a lever action rifle. Every one i have seen in the package
has the rifle pictured above. I am curious if this figure was
issued with both rifle versions? It was not uncommon for factories
to run out of an accessory and substitute it with something different.
This example was boxed and still sealed in the factory plastic bag
which i then cut open to liberate him for display! Cringe. :)
The box is really rough so i didn't bother to show a pic.
