New WB Series Debuts in Michigan (1 Viewer)

A new series created and sculpted by Ken Osen made its debut this weekend at the Michigan Toy Soldier Show:


WB's new World of Jane Austen

Ken's series from the Napoleonic era

1st series depicts figures from Pride & Prejudice

Will include buildings and scenery--the large building in 2nd photo is one of them

The soldiers are depicting a recruiting scene

All the figures are in matte finish

There are also figures of Elizabeth Bennet and Jane but photos were not available.


For collectors of the Napoleonic Wars Era and fans of the novels of Jane Austen this new line will provide a nice addition of figures and scenics for dioramas. As matte figures they will work very well with WB's current line of Napoleonics.

We look forward to comments from Ken & Ericka after they return from MTS.

Looks like you'll be running out of space on the home front Randy unless you've already planned where you'll showing them. Another outstanding addition to the world of Toy Soldiers and miniatures by WBritain.....The Lt.

Ken now you have gone too far. Len Taylor won my wife over with his civilian Christmas sets now WB is set to do the same with this series
Well done it looks great

These are great!! The building is particularly nice, but the figures are definitely well done too.

This set has your name written all over it. Maybe we can get Ken to do some Zulu cattle for you too

WOW what a great new line and something certainly different from the norm. Everything looks wonderful and what we would expect from the master Ken. I also am partial to that Tudor house and the shepherd and his sheep.

Was just having another look at that house and Ken you have got that bang on. Are you sure it isn't a photo of a real house. You certainly have captured the English flavour.

Great stuff and well done.
