By 1934, the Hausser catalogue offered no less than eight figures of Nazi leaders with Hitler, Goebbels, Göring and Hess among them. Also the figure of Ernst Röhm the Leader of the SA was offered. However there was the problem because Röhm was killed at Hitler’s order just at the time the figure was produced. Röhm was accused for trying to overthrow the Führer. Now Hausser was stuck with a stock of figures which could not be easily sold anymore. Hausser responded by offering this figures as a generic SA leader - even though it actually depicted Röhm.

An other interesting figure is a model of Hitler sitting in a vehicle. Hausser, however, did not produce an appropriate car for this figure. This figure too had a movable arm and represented Hitler in the Nazi uniform.

Lineol produced figures of Hitler, Göring and von Hindenburg in 1934. That catalogue also offered a figure titled as the head of the SA. However it is not know if this figure really does represent Röhm like she the Hausser model does.
