The Four Soldiers Sitting Down: The right three are Blenheim from set B-53. They are British late nineteenth century soldiers; the set is missing a campfire, tent, and log for the soldiers to sit on (and I think another figure). The figure with these, on the far left, doesn't belong with the...

Does anyone know if Alexanders Toy Soldiers has gone out of business? The website has been closed for awhile. I really hope the company is still around.... -Squiggle/Jonathan

Wow, thank you Brad and John for the quick and informative responses! You guys were tremendously helpful. I was completely wrong on both my thoughts on manufacturer and identity of the figures. I KNOW I've seen faces similar to the paint jobs on the foot figures, and somehow my brain made an...

I picked up these figures on eBay a couple months ago; does anyone recognize them? I'm trying to figure out the manufacturer and if anyone has ideas on what/who they represent, that would be great too. The two figures on the right on foot look perhaps Franco-Prussian War 1871. 1. One thought...

Thank you Mark for the contact info., and to everyone who replied. I found an article in an old Toy Soldier Collector magazine issue saying that Yeomanry Miniatures were having financial challenges in 2014, right about the time Mark wrote that Brian was having health problems. So I'm thinking...

Does anyone know what happened to Yeomanry Miniatures? Six years ago they were going strong with new releases, then seemed to disappear without a trace. -Squiggle

I am alternately delighted and disappointed with AQM. I have only two sets, each marvelous. One is a blacksmith working on the hind leg hoof of a horse as the cavalryman (& horse) patiently wait. The set is carefully painted, and beautifully realized as a whole. Likewise, another set is...

That's exactly the book to which I was referring Brad - thank you for the feedback. I'm a fan of Hiriart, and I'll get in touch with Mike- -Squiggle

Thank you for posting the review Mirof! The book looks like a good one for a Hiriart fan such as myself! Squiggle

Hi all, Does anyone have, or has gotten a chance to look at the recent book on Hiriart? If so, any thoughts? How are the photographs of figures? The text? -Squiggle

Both scenes are nicely staged and photographed. I especially like the angle upward on the first photograph; it gives the nurses a particularly formidable appearance! I'm thinking these nurse figures are Asset? Thanks for posting- Squiggle

I'm with you guys, an insane price for the Lawrence figure; if I recall the description, it had some problem, a break or something, too: not in mint or excellent condition. I don't have the Lawrence figure, I aspire to possess it sometime, but at a reasonable price. -Squiggle

Thank you Louis- -Squiggle

Hi Louis, Thanks for posting; these sets are nice - do you know if there is a way to order one of these sets? Thanks, Squiggle

Thanks for posting the photos - you're right, these new sets are gorgeous! -Squiggle
