Regal has a new website for anyone interested http://regaltoysoldiers.com/ and I see they have the Normans and Saxons on there

Very true. The few Regal glossies I own are beautiful. The gloss is very high and the painting very bright. I have some Crimean and NWF cavalry and am working on getting more. Regal is well worth the effort to get if glossies are your thing. -- AlThis is great news. Regal/Soldiers of the World make some beautiful GLOSSIES. Very well painted.
This company and its figures need to be seen by more collectors. Hopefully this new website helps.
Scott, Do you know if Regal/SOW is planning to make mounted Normans in the near future for the 1066 line?
Thanks, - Ken
Hi Ken,
yes mounted Normans are on the way, I saw the horses on the paint bench the other day and Ian putting the finishing touches on the riders, so shouldn't be to far away.

Have they discontinued their civilian range as it doesn't appear to be listed?
Thanks Scott. That's great. 1066 should be a fun line to collect. Maybe they'll even get around to making Harald Hardada and some Norsemen for the Battle of Stamford Bridge. - Ken
Got another set of NWF Indian Lancers that I collect. It was set #1A72A, The 39th King George's Own Central India Horse. There is an officer, bugler, and Sgt.with lance. It is a beautiful set and I have the B set of 3 lancers on the way to supplement it. The Regal/SOW figures are simply gorgeous and I am of the opinion that Regal is amongst the best of the glossy makers going today. The figures are sturdy and have always arrived undamaged from New Zealand. I found out that Regal offers WW1 French figures in the early war red and blue uniforms that I love so much and I will be ordering some of these in the future. There is a huge range of offerings that don't show on the website. -- Al
I could not agree more Al, Regal/SoW makes some beautiful gloss figures. I have a pretty decent collection of SoW Napoleonics and the painting quality is consistantly high with every set - clean lines, no sloppy edges, all top notch work.
I'm thinking of collecting their new Norman Conquest series - only wishing there was a online friendly dealer here in the States carrying the line. Sounds like you've had no problems ordering direct from NZ. - Ken
Second that. That is where I get mine from. ^&grin -- AlIf I am not mistaken, Stockade Miniatures in Stroudsburg, PA. is a U.S. dealer and owner of the Soldiers of the World brand mfg. by Regal. Probably can get Regal through them also.. Mike Russo is a great guy and those who know him will vouch for his dependabilty. His #'s Tel: (570) 424-8507 Fax: (570) 424-8503..Michael
