Hey y'all! Just posting to see if anyone else is still loving/collecting Imperial Productions stuff. Sound off if you still believe! :tongue: In the meanwhile, there is this: I have the following IP sets that are surplus to the collection and would like to offer them up here. Some of them are...

Hi Imperial Productions lovers! David Cowe and co at our fav soldier crafter has announced the discovery of some unpainted castings from some rare and out of print sets of figures from a short-lived arrangement between Imperial Productions and the US Naval Museum in Hampton Roads, Va. to make...

Hi Treefroggers! Below is the latest from David Cowe and family in NZ! Brace yourself for some unique opportunities to acquire some rare and amazing IP sets. Even if you already have a few of these, let me encourage you to consider a duplicate or two. As fine as Imperial’s trade craft and...

Hi fellow IP fans, I have the photo studio set up and, just for fun, decided to gather all of the Imperial livestock for one photo. This is the non-ride-able livestock, mind you. Anyway, here they are: That is: 12 fox hounds, 8 "other dogs", 8 cats and 12 birds. The only other animal, a...

Hi y'all, I've been watching for this set to turn up for years now with no joy, so I figure it might be worth a try to post a want ad here. What I seek is a re-paint of set 50 that was done for the Toy Soldier Gallery in NY., USA. These are different than the original set 50 as they are...

Oh, all of you fans of Imperial Productions, are you up for a treat? David Cowe, master sculptor and chief bottle washer at Imperial Productions has released three new T&A sets that may well be his finest work to date. Behold! (darn, I can't seem to upload these pics here so I will instead...

Greetings y'all! I am back amongst you fine people after yet another absence. Coaxed back by some emails from people asking for access to my IP photo albums, so here I am. The only trouble is, I am out of practice and cannot figure out exactly how to provide people access. Would you a few of...

Hey Imperial fans, Have spotted a few of these on ebay recently (including http://www.ebay.com/itm/IMPERIAL-PRODUCTIONS-PRESENT-DAY-CARRIER-DECK-CREW-SUPER-RARE-/140719279532?pt=Toy_Soldiers&hash=item20c385cdac ) and it got me to wondering... how many of our collectors here have any of these...

Hello Imperial lovers! Missed you guys and our favorite little 54mm wonders. Sorry for my protracted absence. It was both avoidable and unjustified, but everyone needs a break from time to time. Other things filled the void, but only temporarily. And now I am back. Have been slowly and...

May your day be glossy. Cheers, D

I always see people on this subforum "viewing" yet it is a pretty quiet corner of this website here in the Glossy/Imperial subforum. So, in the interest of fostering some discussion, I would pose a few questions for you Imperial devotees. - How important is it to you that your Imperial...

Hi folks. Sorry for the long absence from the forum. Alas, my mind ebbs and flows like random tidewaters and sometimes time flies a lot faster than I notice. Anyway, a quick note regarding what may be the rarest of the many short issue Imperial Productions works... the Christmas Pudding...

Any of you folks have any extra sets and/or duplicate sets they might want to swap? I have a few, mostly Crimean sets, a couple of ACW sets, that I picked up over the years. Would be willing to swap one or more with one of you Treefroggers if there is a need or desire. Perhaps this thread...

Spoke to the Cowes on Xmas eve and they asked me to extend their fondest Christmas wishes for great holidays and a wonderful new year to all of us here. It is near 100 degrees in their part of New Zealand these days, yet they are still "cursed" with the Anglo Christmas traditions of hot meals...

Wowsers... so much for the economic impacts on the secondary toy soldier market! Was watching a few of the older sets (#1-15; i.e. pre-1985) on ebay recently and a few of them went for some appreciable funds. These early sets so pale in comparison to the Cowes' later works, but there is...

Greetings Treefroggers! I am back from my self-imposed exile and ready to resume the work on our Imperial cataloging efforts. We are the proud new owners of two domain names (www.imperialparade.com and www.imperialrollcall.com) and will be spending the Winter populating a website with a...

Hey guys, One thing I always have time for is keeping track of Imperial Production figures on ebay and the prices sold. Anyway, this seller has a lot of the harder to find ACW sets from Imperial up for auction right now. http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/kenkendawg Good luck, D

Speaking with David Cowe last night, he mentioned that one of the few records that he still had regarding production numbers concerned the number of Cameron Heirloom series sets produced. The reason he kept track of this is that each set (HS1 & HS2) were numbered on a label attached to the...
