Imperial Drum & Piper Collection (1 Viewer)

[brianholo]

I received my uncle's military miniature collection when he passed a few years ago and have started the process of identifying and trying to put a value on the specific pieces. I believe these are Imperial but can find very little information online about their catalog or pieces. There are 20 pieces with the box in this set. Are these Imperial Production figures? Does anyone know how I could find the value of this set.

Thank you.

Dear brianholo,
Pretty sure these are Regal Enterprises and not Imperial Productions.

Brian,
Shannon is correct. Regal produces the Soldiers of the World Line and still is in business!

These are Regal soldiers. The base is the sign. Imperial always have oval or round bases. I know this because I used to work at imperial Productions with Dave & Kay Cowe. I used to be the head caster/molder in the workshop for 5 years in the early 90's. Fantastic place to work for.

It is my understanding that the Regal Enterprises effort was staffed by ex-employees of Imperial. Several of their sculpts are definitely rough copies of Cowe sculpts. Outside of that, there is very little similarity, quality-wise, between Regal and Imperial toy soldiers... to my eye at least.
