Figures

No other Nazi leader was represented with so many different portrait figures produced by Hausser / Elastolin and Lineol as Adolf Hitler. Altogether there were a total of 22 figures which represent him in different uniforms, and even in civilian clothes (00/0504/E1). Most of the figures have a movable arm so they could be used in greeting and non greeting positions. Interesting to note are the five figures made by Hausser which have an head made of porcelain (00/0502/E1, 00/0505/E2, 00/0505/E3-1, 00/0505/E3-2, 00/0506/E3). During the drying phase of the composition material the model was always slightly deformed. By using porcelain heads it was possible to make the face of the portrait figure much more realistic. However the development and production of such a head was expensive. Probably this was the reason that only one type of head was used for all five models.
