Your favorite Toy Soldier figure and/or set of all time... (1 Viewer)

[HistoryfortheAges]

My favorite figure of all time has to be an original Britains American Revolution swoppet Colonial scout. That figure just just sums up "Last of the Mohicans" for me.

Airfix 7th Cav.

Sculpting and poses were well ahead of their time and still stand good today (IMO).

Good Thread!!

I would have to say Britains Deetail. They were the first figs I ever got as a young boy. I remember quite vividly walking into some of the toy soldier/ hobby shops when I was living in Germany at the time and just being blown away by all the tables of mounted knights and WW2 figures. It was just a great experience.

This is hard, I grew up on the Marx playsets, Fort Apache and Battle ground and the Blue and Gray sets. But I have to say, the Conte WWII figs are the best figures and poses I have ever seen. The new injection molded GI's are the best figures out there. So I will say, the Conte GI's. I agree the Airfix 7th were way ahead of their time. Mike

I would have to say my K & C Spitfire and the K & C Matilda.

I think the Airfix and Marx playsets got me going. I have most sets of Airfix which I painted. Also, got me started painting figures and making models. John
German Para's -- one of my favorites

Britains lead bands, Swoppet War of the Roses knights, my Wm. Hockers, Elastolin siege equipment, and last but not least this figure:

Have to go with the Marx 60mm cavalry kneeling firing rifle pose or the 60mm pioneer firing flintlock pistol, the revised pose.

The Airfix cavalry poses were great and for something a little off the chart, I like the Andy Gard cowboys and indians, good poses, bad colors.

 

[The Lt.]

Being a late comer in collecting Toy Soldiers finished in Gloss I must say this is my favorite by Trophy of Wales.......The Lt.

I think possibly my favourite all time figure is the Aifix plastic 8th Army officer running and firing his revolver at the same time.Brings back happy childhood memories.
