King and Country, Frontline, East of India, John Jenkins and Patriot are based in Hong Kong, which is now part of China. Figarti is based in Shanghai. Monarch is based in Thailand. Most of Britains, 1st Legion, and Collector's Showcase sets are made in China.

I think he means actual companies that are Asian not just products made there.

Figarti is owned by the Wang family, and is Asian in heritage as well as location.

Yes i was thinking of an Asian Companies that are original from Asia,not other companies made there.
This is because i was thinking if other company made in China than original China is more cheap production of a figures but i see it is not
So let me ask another question.Which company make metal painted toy soldiers and that it is the cheapest price on the market.Everything is so expensive.If i pay like 400 USD i wannt to buy something for that not only 6 figures or something.So who is the cheapest?

Hello Victor,

I was hoping you would post to this thread.

But you are far too modest, so I am going to do it for you.

Best, Raymond.

Hm,there is no price list or i didnt see it?
And there is just some dancing figures.Do they make any battle figures like Samurai or something?
I am new in the world of collecting toy soldiers.I watch some of your photos and i see you all have so much beautyfull items from King and Country,WBritains,...but if i wannt to build a collection i will need like 1000,2000,3000,....which is a lot haha.So i try to start with something cheaper.But i was interested in WBritains Zulu,but when i calculate it is pretty expensive,King and Country wild west expensive,First Legion Samurai expensive,....so is there any other manufacturer who have great figures but not so expensive?
I find some manufacturer that have Samurai figures for 10.99 USD but the problem is that this figures are in no battle position.They are beautyfull paint and everything but you can not use them for battles,kind of boring display.But it is nice price.So i am sure out there must be some other manufacturer too.

Try checking out East of India. They make Samurai in fighting poses, and are not too expensive. Here is a link to their website:

well yes i did them chet out before and it is still not good price.They have good figures but too expensive.
I did check out almost everything in this site and i google a lot too but is there any other companys that are not here mention and that you know about them?

If your looking for something cheaper your not going to find it in the 54mm world.you will have to go to smaller unpainted figures.

Yes do you know any manufacturer that produce this smaller figures?

Send a PM to Warrior (George Guererro). He is a dealer that has probably the most extensive collection of the smaller 30mm, 25mm and 20mm figures I have ever heard of, and if anybody can direct you to the less expensive manufacturers of these smaller figures, its him.

I would take a look at the Michigan Toy Soldier site under Plastic 1/72 unpainted figures. These are inexpensive and a good value considering how many figures you get in a box.
You will have to learn how to paint your own figures, but this is a rewarding part of the hobby too.

Ales, here's another one, FairTech, Intl:

Among other things, they cast the figures for the late Alan Silk and Ed Lober's Guard Corps lines, and they're still producing the figures, as far as I know (whether legally and licensed has been debated). Guard Corps included a series of the Imperial German Alexander Grenadiers, a series of Wehrmacht parading, a US Civil War series, including a band and figures marching off, and a 7th Cavalry series (though some of the figures in the 7th Cavalry were the same as the Civil War figures). FairTech is currently producing the Alexander Grenadiers and the Civil War figures, I think.

Hope that helps, prost!
