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

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...

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

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

I saw a picture in Toy Soldier Collector magazine from some years ago of a Crimean War toy soldier set featuring the photographer Fenton taking a picture of some British soldiers, standing by Fenton's portable photography lab. Does anyone know who made this set? It looks from the bases and style...

I've seen what appear to be pictures of Beau Geste figures that are not listed in the Beau Geste online Complete Catalogue. If I recall, it was Napoleonic figures, and maybe others. Although Beau Geste leaves RETIRED sets on their website, simply marking them retired, perhaps there are sets...

Does anyone know anything about Shenandoah Miniatures? As far as I can gather, they are a cottage-industry outfit in Australia that make, locally, figures of the American Civil War, and seem to produce in classic gloss finish. Is this right? And does anyone have them? If so, a subjective...

I just picked up a set of new Mignot figures - Napoleon's Old Guard. Up until now I only have had a couple sets of used Mignot, that are in relatively good shape but decades old. These new ones I just got are painted beautifully; I've found there is a big difference between 'mint' figures that...

Hi all, While I enjoy lines of figures in 'standard' poses (kneeling firing, marching, etc.), and figures in the ferocity of battle, I also love toy soldiers that have unique gestures or poses that suggest individual character. Here are three soldiers I recently acquired that exhibit this...

Does someone have images of figures from ErrolJohn Studios they could post? And/or some catalogue/price list pages? ErrolJohn is one of the more elusive toy soldier outfits; while Asset only has a catalogue without photographs, at least Asset has a website with their catalogue. ErrolJohn...

Does anyone have any news on Dorset? I've placed an order, and written them multiple times, but have gotten no response for weeks. Thanks.

Hi all, Does anyone have sets of both Imperial and Regal figures - how do they compare? Preferences? They seem very similar - both clean, exacting glossy paint jobs, both from New Zealand, and somewhere I may have read some of the same people worked for both companies. Regal has a bigger...

I'm just getting re-started as a toy soldier collector (since painting castings as a teenager!) and I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendation for glossy Roman soldiers? As far as I can tell, Regal in New Zealand is the only company with much of a choice. Dorset and Tradition seem to only...
