Makers of Marquis de LaFayette figures? Metal or plastic... (2 Viewers)

[jac28]

Hi,

I've been looking for various toy soldier/model figures of the Marquis de LaFayette. I know (and have) Britains' metal figure (along with Rochambeau and Washington) and I believe Mokarex made a figure.. I would imagine there are others - any help on other sources?

Thx,

Jim

Hi, Jim, the old kit figure maker Vallance had a figure of Lafayette in their cataloge, paired with Washington for display. Also, the Franklin Mint included a figure of Lafayette in their Yorktown series. Those were both in 54mm.

I don't know for sure, but New Hope Miniatures may also have had a figure of Lafayette in their Men at Arms series (based on Osprey's books).

I just checked at their website, and Imrie-Risley did not produce a figure of Lafayette, which surprised me, but they only produced figures of Washington. Neither did Stadden, though he, too, produced a figure of Washington.

Hope that helps, prosit!

Brad,

Thx for the info! This helps and is a good start.. I searched on the internet after getting your reply.. Found the Vallance figure - but so far, not the others.. Hopefully there are more - perhaps some European companies..

Regards,

Jim
