C. ‘On The Streets of Ancient Rome’ Following the successful introduction of this new series here’s a small crowd of Roman civilians and tradesmen to help populate what I suspect might soon be very busy streets, alleyways and public spaces in the heart of Ancient Rome. RnB043 ‘A Pair of...

KING & COUNTRY DISPATCHES May 2024 Hi Guys, Welcome to the month of May and a unique collection of figures from a select group of King & Country series that highlights the diversity of K&C’s historical subject matter. Let’s begin in a part of the world that’s very much in the news at the moment...

Hi Steve, Your assumption is 100% correct! I have been a huge fan of the late, great Ron Embleton’s illustrations ever since I was a schoolboy back in the day before yesterday…My brother Gordon and myself used to devour a fantastic British children’s comic called ‘Look and Learn’ which was where...

18 months in 40 years is hardly an eternity! And if a few WWII customers take their business elsewhere so be it…it’s still a mostly free world…and that’s up to them.

Consider this… K&C over the last 40 years has produced more Arnhem and D.Day figures, vehicles and landing craft than the rest of the metal toy soldier companies combined… And much as I enjoyed doing all of them it was creatively and commercially good and healthy to take a break and explore...
