toysoldiers production (1 Viewer)

I was thinking.....Nowadays, technology can create microchips, tablets, sophisticated toys with very sophisticated devices.....But toysoldiers are still more or less made like 200 years ago, especially in the painting proceedings: hand made.

I am amazed that the industry can' t create cheap toysoldiers mounted and painted with high quality details with machines, and not so delicate and fragile as they are today!{sm2}

Toy soldiers have never been a mass produced item, which is basically what you are talking about: creating machinery to make them. However, the machinery/tooling is expensive and will only pay for itself if you mass produce an item. The toy soldier market is not big enough to justify that kind of cost.

Thank you for explanation...Yes, this must be the reason, I thought it could be this.
