1994 HARTLAND "Safe at Second" NIB w/ Orig Packing, the FINAL FIGURE released

Description: In 1953 Hartland Plastics dived into the popular Western themed TV shows and developed a series of Cowboy character toys and horse figures for children made of acetate based plastic and painted them with acetate based paint, leaving a smooth finish from one color to another. The figures were molded in two halves and glued together. In 1962 Hartland decided to test market two NFL sports figures – Johnny Unitas and Jon Arnett (1 was popular on the east coast and one on the west coast). With the acceptance of these two at $2.49 each, all 14 NFL teams at the time were subsequently given a running back and a lineman the following year. Each box contained an 8” figurine mounted on a green base with the team name in gold with its logo on the front edge. Reportedly 5000 of each figure were produced, but some are almost impossible to find today. Thirty years later, in 1993 Hartland was in the midst of an attempted comeback from the mysterious disappearance of its Owner in 1991, and the floods that followed in 1993. After several attempts at recovery it released its final item in 1994 - this one "Safe at 2nd, and then closed its doors forever. This 1994 statue is "New", in its original packing (not its original box) and has never been displayed. It was made from the last original 1963 sports mold produced by Hartland but not released at the time. For this 1994 mini-set a small green playing field is provided for the figures to be posed on. Please closely examine the photos to see exactly what you are looking to purchase. The photos are a critical part of the Condition Description. There is no COA or original box. The figure will be packed very carefully, in multiple layers of bubble wrap inside a new heavy duty cardboard box. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this unique piece of history.
