Here are some photos I took of the Old Northwest Toy Company (Michaigan Toy) displays at the 2010 OTSN Show in Chicago . . . .

Great pics and great looking new items from ONTC! I will definitely be picking up some of those new sets...amd maybe some of the older ones I'm still undecided on. Thanks again for shooting and posting your pics!:)

The WW1 trench warfare stuff looks great. Like the A7V in camo as well as the MG nest. -- Al
 
Very nice Mike, they have some of the best noncombat items in the business. That baseball set up is great!! Will you be picking one of those up?

As tempting as the baseball figures are, I am thinking of getting the camp scene figures and buildings - perhaps early next year while waiting on the new 2011 WB releases. These would work well with my WB sets since the partners at ONTC has a close relationship with Ken Osen and Richard Walker.

MAN, I think the baseball, or townball as we call it when we play at reenactments, ROCKs!!! Any word on its release?

Cool pics again Mike- love the German "Mephisto". The Cpl Hitler as a runner trench scenic piece is pretty gruesome.
 
I see there are a few new ACW releases from this company now available. The club figure, accesory set and also the two figures with the dog.

Is it to late to join the ranks :eek: :D
 
Thanks for posting the picks. Couldn't make the show but at least I can SEE what I missed!! Nice shots
 
Re: ONTC owned by who?

I'd like to know if Ken Osen is still doing the figures and if the now legendary Mr. Berry is still the owner.
All the turmoil with Michigan Toy and Peter Jackson and the subsequent talk of new owners has me wondering is this company still in biz and if so who are the owners and the sculptors

Hello Doug here, and I know your question is old but maybe you still want an answer. Here goes.

Technically, Rick Berry still owns ONTC. Master Painter Dave Youngquist and me [Doug Dearth sculptor/art guy] have left the company. Rick may choose to restart ONTC upon his release but as of now il est mort.

HOWEVER, I am starting new company: Order of Battle. We will be producing most of the ONTC prototypes you may have seen in Chicago last year and some new stuff too. World War I and Camp Life of the American Civil War will be offered for starters, and then who knows. I always liked the Punitive Expedition, 1916; The Banana Wars, the 1920s period, Philippine Insurrection, 1899–1902, and last but not least, the Bore War. Got any ideas? Stop on by the Order of Battle room in Chicago for beer and sandwiches to talk it over!

See you there,
Doug Dearth

Very interesting development. I look forward to the new company and products. Really love the WW1 series and would like to see the announced prototypes carried through. -- Al

Great news Doug.

Will you be at the Show this year. If so, as a collector or exhibitor?

Yup. Both tanks are being produced even as we speak. Unfortunately they won't be ready for the show. However, I will have some Mark IVs that I have personally customized, painted and tricked out so look for those.

And, per usual, I will have beer and sandwiches so that's worth a visit at least. ;)

Thanks Red! ~Doug
