Wow, being that I am only a part-time forum reader/user myself I can only help but notice some knarly posts associated with toy soldier collecting lately. I’m not just talking about one thing, I’ve seen everything from paint color choice to the entire hobby dying. Doom, gloom, and bad thoughts(what manufacture will make The 4 Horsemen?). If a person lived on the internet they might think the toy soldier sky is falling.

For a large majority of us, I would think that this type of collecting is a hobby. Something you do to get away from the grind and stress of the day. It doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense to me to put stress into something that’s supposed to be stress relief. My only advice could be this: you create your own happiness - get outside, breathe some fresh air, do something you’ve always wanted to do but never have, call someone that you’ve said that you need to get back in touch with(no drunk dialing), or make travel plans for a place you’ve said you’ve always wanted to go.

But most of all:

Keep it silly

Agreed; well put and simply brilliant.

Enjoy the hobby for what it is; A HOBBY and if it's too stressful, then find another hobby, but make sure it's not drunk dialing people ( this means you Louis, pretty sure you know what I'm talking about)..............

That had nothing to do with the hobby . . . that was about my religion (you know, what I do as a ritual every Sunday).:wink2:

 

[Jack]

Awesome and valuable advice Chris that I will take in. But I'm really interested in the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse figures you mentioned....who is making them? :tongue:

Oh didn't you hear! The effort is the first big collaboration between the four big TS makers. {sm3}

Andy and K&C are making the Pestilence. {eek3}
John Jenkins is making War
Famine belongs to Conte and {sm2}
A bunch of the Out-of-Business guys are getting together to work on Death {sm2}

Hummmmm ... Am I going to be censored for this.

I agree! 30 years ago "Toy Soldiers" was a slur. It was "Military Miniatures."
