In case there's some confusion: Soldatiki Publius issues individual figures from the plastic sets in metal, unpainted. They're listed on the Soldatikov website.

Couple more on eBay: http://stores.ebay.ca/the300spartans?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

That was my first guess, too, until I reread that they were from the 70s. Peco ceased production in 1956, according to the O'Brien books. They were only 88mm tall, as well.

They are doing a review build of the kit on this site: http://www.themodellingnews.com Third part just posted this morning.

From that site, unless there's a Western distributor for Soldatiki Publius. 1400 Rubles is ~C$37. Then there's postage....

Sorry, I didn't look far enough on the site. :redface2: Too many nights at the Horseshoe. Here they are: http://soldatikov.net/en/plastic/1360-set-of-the-brest-fortress-6-figures.html I see they are also available individually in metal. The 40mm guys are in different poses to the plastic ones.

During my wasted youth, I found plenty of those "fortresses" in Toronto! {eek3} In case the General wasn't joking, it's Brest Fortress: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_of_Brest_Fortress And the figures, by the way are by Publius, are 40mm/1:45, and are in zinc alloy, for all the T Rex...

There's a couple on eBay right now, from a guy who lists Marx and other plastic figures regularly : http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Marx-1950s-60s-WW2-Navy-Sailor-Soldier-w-Night-Stick-White-SP-54mm-/390953769506?pt=Toy_Soldiers&hash=item5b06a91a22 is one of them.

A beautiful set! I'd love to see more photos of it. The extra yeomen might be from a separate set- they'd be the ones holding their pikes vertically that I can see in your pictures.

I guess it could be a cash-in on a couple of recent Hollywood epics. About ten years ago, Bill Hocker did some sets evocative of the south of that period: set 321 Slave Auction, and set 325 Regimental Muster. His trademark traditional toy style added poignancy to the scenarios. Polar Bear has...

There's a 15 second casting sequence here: http://www.britishpathe.com/video/toy-soldiers That's an impressive stack of cavalrymen- I can't imagine trying to untangle them! {eek3}

"... straying very close to the border here though...". Cowboys dressed the same on the Canadian prairies, so you can move the action north a touch. I've always liked Britains' Wild West figures, looking like they stepped out of a William S Hart or Tom Mix silent film. You've done a fine job...

That's Tedtoys' set TTX1. http://www.tedtoy.com/tedtoy_other.htm

There are a couple of articles in Old Toy Soldier magazine: v8#6, and v28#3 (2004). In the latter piece, Philip Dean wires that all the masters and moulds were produced from April to August 1934, and the figures issued late '34 or early '35. The rare Prince of Wales figure was adapted for issue...
