I apologize if this is documented somewhere, but after searching and reading I am still having trouble finding all of the answers…
I am wondering what the best way to identify the manufacturer (or variations) of the classic loose figures. It is my understanding that there were several companies from different countries that produced figures such as LJN, Rainbow, Playful, Glasslite, Unitoys etc. Are the stamps on the bottom of the feet the best way to tell? I believe that LJN and Playful are both be stated on the stamp, but is this true for all of the companies? I would appreciate any insight from the seasoned collectors. Thanks.
