Gabriel
Gabriel produced 10 inch action figures based on the Lone Ranger
character. The figures were well articulated and came with great
outfits and accessories, down to their six-shooter guns which were
made to fit in their specially molded hands. Most of the accessories
were rubber instead of plastic and were therefore more durable.
The rubber mask that came with the Lone Ranger was usually lost
quickly. Tonto of course was the Lone Ranger's good friend and
a part of the set. Butch Cavendish, the bad guy, was also a part
of the set. Then there were the additional characters: Red Sleeves,
El Lobo, Little Bear, and Dan Reid. Both Little Bear and Dan Reid
were in scale as young boys. There were of course the horses that
were available too. Also, these figures have come boxed and carded
in most cases. El Lobo and Tex Dawson were the "European Issue" figures
to the set.

Hands
down the Gabriel Lone Ranger 10" series had some of the best
outfits, best accessories and playsets. They really seemed
to put some effort into the toys they made and the package art
was nice too. These toys were also distributed under Marx Toys
and Hubley as well. You may see their logos on some
packages reflecting this.
