Dear Forum, I was shocked to hear of the death of our good friend Michael Hall who with his beloved wife Myszka founded ‘SIERRA TOY SOLDIERS’. All of us at King & Country had known and worked with SIERRA and Mike & Myszka for many years all the way back to the old ‘West Coaster Show’ days in...

Hi Brendan, Not only do I have ‘any intention’ to revisit the Alamo ‘Personalities’. again…K&C has ‘EVERY INTENTION’ of going in that direction! Fear not my friend, Andy.

Hi Guys, Over the years, we’ve received so many requests from collectors to expand the ‘Remember The Alamo’ series. About six months ago, we finally got down to business and began sketching out the first of what will become an exciting new range of figures in dramatic “fighting” poses. The...

As ever Robin your work and creativity is bloody great mate! I thankyou for your continued support and enthusiasm for all toy soldiers in general and K&C in particular is always appreciated and inspiring. All the very best to you and all our K&C pals in Oz, Andy P.S. I’m also hoping we get to...

By all means, hold your breath …but don’t stop breathing! All the best, Andy.

Hi Guys, Last October I was fortunate enough to be staying with my good friend Craig Warner and his wife in Alpharetta, Georgia. Whilst there Craig told me about (and showed me) a whole bunch of great toy soidier videos on You Tube featuring, among others, the work of King & Country. All...

Hi Guys, K&C’s Real West series takes inspiration from a wide range of American western novels, classic movies and legendary moments in the history of the American West. One of the most iconic events, The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, has recently been recreated in two sets of figures to...

Hi Guys, The FV107 Scimitar is the second of The Blues and Royals’ Armoured Reconnaissance Vehicles, renowned for its combat role in the Falklands Conflict alongside the FV101 Scorpion. This ‘Scimitar’ is in the familiar British Army camouflage scheme of olive drab and black, typical of the...

C. IT’S TIME TO REMEMBER THE ALAMO… AGAIN! Long before King & Country took over, the Kings X store in San Antonio’s Menger Hotel K&C had a fond connection with the ‘Alamo City’ as many Texans and other Americans call San Antonio. Mr. Albert ‘Boo’ Hausser, who founded ‘Kings X’ was one of King &...

B.“A Town Called Tombstone” The often blurred line between the law and the lawless came to a head in probably the most famous (and infamous) gunfight in the history of the American West… “The Gunfight at The Ok Corral’. On one side was the ‘Earp’ brothers, Virgil, Morgan and Wyatt alongside...

DISPATCHES January 2026 Hi Guys, Welcome to this first ‘DISPATCHES’ of the New Year and a nice little batch of new releases from three very different ranges and… from three very different historical periods. Let’s begin with a long journey down through the bitterly frigid waters of the...

Well done John, every picture tells a story…Nice to Richard Sharpe and a few of his ‘Chosen Men’ getting to know the local lassies! All the best, Andy.

Well done Steve…I found the book a very enjoyable ‘read’…It also does an excellent job of dispelling any notions that filming on location in the Crimea is glamorous and/or particularly exciting…It’s a lot of ‘hurry up and wait’ and ‘ inedible grub’…at least for the ‘supporting cast’! However, it...

And, would you believe it K&C figures look even better with some K&C aircraft too! All the best, Andy.

Let’s add to that, ‘If you can’t be careful…be prepared to see the Doc!’ Happy New Year, Andy.

Apologies for the delay…Should be a 36 page issue. All the best...

Robin my friend, I am the luckiest guy in the world…Everyday I go to work and get to play with toy soldiers!!! Similarly, although I am in my seventh decade I’ve still got the brain of a 14 year old boy… and he was glad to get rid of it! All the best mate and hoping we get the chance to meet up...

Toy soldiers with an ‘Adult’ twist… Who would have thunk it! All the best, Andy.
