I just created Web Pages today for a new line of Wooden Toy Soldiers offered by Regimental Colours! We should have our first order in stock soon and ready to ship out.
They look very fun and we are excited to see the new ranges in the future. Starting out with the American Civil War line of these classic soldiers in addition to a manual on how to play with them in 'floor-gaming' tactics.
These have been created by Patrick Alessandri.
Regimental Colours soldiers were inspired by the books “Floor Games” and “Little Wars”, both by H. G. Wells. They are short, highly entertaining reads, and full of good ideas for children’s play.
Regimental Colours are designed to resemble old-fashioned toy soldiers. They are made from durable hardwoods and birch ply. Water-soluble paints give them a bright, eye-catching appeal, and a water-soluble clear coat ensures they will continue to look good for generations of use. Every production batch is tested for compliance with the US CPSC standards for lead-free coatings in children’s toys.
To give you some idea of size, the soldiers are about 3.5 inches tall, and the wheels of the cannon are about 4 inches in diameter. Perfect for small hands. This equates to a scale of about 90mm, or 1/20th.
RC-2118 10 piece Union Infantry Battalion Box Set
RC-8121 Parrot Rifle, Wood Cannon
What a fun way to expose youngsters to History and Toy Soldiers in general!
We hope you enjoy these as much as we do.
