Got my first few pieces from this manufacturer a short while back. Excellent work. Anybody else collect them?

I buy US cavalry 1880 figures, they have not yet arrived.

I have about 30 Aztecs and Conquistadores. Started buying them a few years ago when prices were more reasonable due to better exchange rates.
Probably over-priced now and limited poses but there are no other options if you want to collect this important period of history.
I was hoping another major maker (K&C, CS, JJD) might venture into this period.

Any chance of posting some pix? It would be great if more manufacturers started to produce figures from this period, although for whatever reason there doesn't seem to be the interest.

A pic of my collection so far. Early days, but as time goes by I am sure it will grow.

Very sharp Jules- I was unaware this company existed.

You can buy them through Michigan Toy Soldiers but inventory is alway limited.
Aztecs are selling for $80 which is expensive in my opinion.
I guess you can buy them direct from the UK but shipping costs might be very high.
Last year I was fortunate enough to attend a London TS Show and picked up about 10 figures.

Very nice looking figures. Very unusual, and better for it. -- Al

These look very nice. I have checked their website. Do they come boxed?

Yes, but it's just a plain unmarked white cardboard box with no markings. I don't think Gareth Morgan produces them in sufficient quantities to have custom made boxes made. Beautiful figures though. I've been really happy with those I've received so far.

Here's another. Montezuma this time, with an Aztec bodyguard in the background. The Aztec bodyguard is from Hachette/Del Prado, I think. My only criticism of the series is that I'd like to see some figures that are not in fighting positions. This figure of Montezuma is about it I think. I'd like to see Conquistadors on the march through the jungle and Aztec warriors formed up in massed ranks prior to confronting the invaders.

michigan charge what they choose and does not necessarily reflect what gareth does, i dont believe shipping costs are that high. i will be posting more pictures of gareth's ranges

Hi mate,
Thanks for posting the pic of the Lombard and yes please post some more photos. They're great figures and I'd like to see more pix. Agree that website does not do the ranges that Morgan Miniatures produce, justice.

My flirtation with collecting toy/model soldiers has slowed down considerably (was a big fan of the K&C Streets of Hong Kong range, but with no new releases for a while and mixed messages re promised items) and I had decided to stop altogether. But, the Aztecs and Conquistadors figures that Gareth has produced have rekindled an interest and I'll definitely continue to build a collection of this line.

Looking forward to seeing more pix of some of the items not on the website.

cheers

Another pic of my conquistadors. Thinking about ordering some more shortly... but not sure which to get next.
