    To Buy or Not to Buy… and Then Regret It Forever

    Special thanks goes to Dietz, whose recent comment helped spark this topic. Every collector has that one elusive set—or an entire Top 10—they dream of tracking down. But finding and acquiring those pieces takes more than just desire. It requires the right opportunity, enough money, and most...

    Red Box Overload: From Display Case to Full-Scale Invasion

    It always begins innocently—just one or two Trophy sets to bring life to a display shelf. Then somehow, a decade later, your guest room is full of charging Highlanders, the garage is fortified with Sudanese gun crews, and the attic groans under the weight of Alamo defenders still in their...

    Trophy Sets That Never Were (But Should Have Been!)

    Have you ever found yourself thinking, “If only Trophy had made this set…”? Maybe a Napoleonic balloon corps, French Foreign Legion Highland Volunteers, Sahara Detachment, or a Boer War Staff car? This is the place to let your imagination take the field! This thread is dedicated to all the...

    Trophy Van Gogh figure.

    I recently missed an auction for this rare Trophy Van Gogh figure—by a nose! I don’t know the catalog number for it, but I suspect it might be part of the Elite range. If anyone knows the number, please let me know. And if you happen to have one and are willing to part with it for a fair...

    Trophy Rod Key "Salvation Army"

    Rod Key commissioned Len to create Salvation Army figures, which became an instant success and were often an integral part of many Christmas toy soldier layouts. The sets were produced in limited quantities—and in some cases, as one-off specials. They remain in high demand among toy soldier...

    Trophy Special Commissions

    It looks like the Elite Edition topic has opened the door to another long-awaited subject: Special Commissions. Len created many special requests over the years, which became a valid and creative part of his business. Most special commissions were one-off items or sets, while others were...

    Trophy Elite Line

    Just a new Trophy subject we haven’t discussed before: the Trophy Elite line—supposedly the top of the quality range, as the name implies. Not many figures were made in this line; I believe EL30 was actually the very last one. I’ve put together a list of the models I know of. Can you help fill...

    Nazi Stand Display id

    Has anyone seen this stand before? It strongly resembles King & Country (K&C) style, but I’m not certain. Any help with identifying it would be greatly appreciated. The dimensions are approximately 13" x 10" x 3". Thank you in advance!

    KC Dancing Highlanders ID help

    I need help identifying these two early matte K&C figures. I’ve never seen any others before. They measure 2-1/4" tall, and the bases are marked HF4 and HF5. Additionally, they have 'King and Country' inscribed in script, though part of the marking is covered with white paint. Any insights...

    Id needed

    I started thinning out my collection and came across this set along with the corresponding flag carrier. I'm pretty sure they were made by Marlborough, but I'm not certain about the regiment—possibly Indian Mutiny? I'm sure someone here knows! :)

    The id needed for the Woodland Indians.

    I recently came across a very nice collection of matte woodland Indian figures. They are beautifully painted. However, the baseplate is black and does not have a manufacturer's mark. Does anyone recognize them and can identify the manufacturer? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Dragon Crest

    Well this Trophy spin off company ran by Len's son Stuart, always was a mystery for me. Very little information on the DC sets (marked with 'D' on the bases) could be found in Trophy catalogs. The DC sets always had high quality paint job and represented quite unusual regiments or military...
