This set is supposed to only have 6 bare heads in it. However, my set has 7 heads.
4 of the heads are illustrated on the black and white illustrations on a small card that is included as being Caucasian, 2 show their mouths open and the other 2 have their mouths closed. There is what appears to be an oriental person's head and a black person's. Both of these have their mouths open. One of the Caucasian heads is illustrated showing him smoking a cigar. However, none of the heads shows a cigar molded to it. One figure is wearing a pair of glasses.
The 7th head in the set that is not illustrated on the card is Caucasian and he is wearing glasses.
The Caucasian heads can be used for any country. The oriental for Japan and the black for U.S. or the UK.
Nicely detailed heads.
VLS historically mainly does tan resin sets, but they have done a handful of white metal ones too. All their sets are short run and rapidly disappear off the market.
I got these heads willed to me, along with many other old VLS sets, by a fellow modeler who died of cancer years ago.

I am willing to sell these heads at a good price + postage.
I have 2 sets of these.
