Elastolin: mass figures were already produced around 1880 in Austria by the Vienna-based company Emil Pfeiffer, which became world-famous for the “[…] loving and colorful painting” of its figures.[1]

Around 1900 production began in Germany. Similar to tin figures, they covered an enormous range thematically, but primarily consisted of war toys. Accessories such as vehicles were mostly made of sheet metal, occasionally there were mixed forms, for example sheet metal carriages with crews and horses made of mass. Since other manufacturers mostly adhered to Hausser’s sizing standards, the products were often interchangeable. Since many manufacturers did not specialize only in war toys but also depicted organizations and leadership personnel of the NS regime in their figures, after World War II a resumption of production in all occupation zones of Germany was difficult.
