Does any company make a 25-28mm (not) The Lone Ranger and Tonto figures? |

Very distinctive outfit. Whiz Kids may have one. |

I would use a figure form one of the Artizan apache packs for T. |

The original radio "Lone Ranger" was said to dress as any other Westerner, since he made his anonymity a powerful resource. The TV series blue suit departs from the canon, though featuring the hero in disguises a lot, so gave a nod to the original that way. The recent movie's ordinary black suit is more in keeping with the original idea. As such, you might want to have several figures to represent the hero. FYI, Tonto was a Pottowattomi, according to the creator of the show. That tribe comes from Michigan and raised a company of sharpshooters for the Civil War Michigan Sharpshooter regiment; they fought at the Battle of the Crater. One could easily assume Tonto is able to shoot very well indeed. |
