Sometimes perusing FaceBook in search of original material to Post one finds gems of a sort… every Toy Soldier here is a small piece of imagination… the author confess he was influenced by the well known films ZULU and ZULU DAWN… of course I here you say! (aren’t we all?)… but actually he developped the subject out of the weel trodden way of Military Modeling or Wargaming.
There is a lot of work and customization on those Toy Soldiers… and I love the search of the “piece unique”.
So here you are… take your Martini-Henry and travel to the end of the world!
Enjoy!

This is a magnificent example of what a collection of Toy Soldiers is, pics by the owner on Facebook (look for the group mytoysoldiersandme). A clarification is needed, when I titled this web page MY TOY SOLDIERS AND ME the idea was to include under this umbrella all fans of collecting toy soldiers whatever the size, style or purpose, so the “MY” refers to “YOUR” figures not at all exclusively mine at all if you follow me. What is more, I usually abstain of repeating myself ad nauseam posting well known pics of my toy soldiers (even if I do from time to time to illustrate a point). So this is why you see wargaming minis in all scales, pure toy soldiers (vintage and “new”) and military modeling figures in many scales. Hope that makes it clear! Enjoy
By The Way… I am more of the school of black dot effect for the eyes of mine!… but the work in the eyes of the figures by Mr. Green is superbly detailed (a steady hand you need for that)

If you want to see the full collection of pics try to join the International Toy Soldier Club (ITSC) club 93 members but growing and if I may say so great quality (not talking about my contributions). And there you can comment and post and interact with other members.
Enjoy! I did
Of course one advantage is that as long as your scenery is a bit neutral it can be used very easily in the NWF and in North Africa.
See the French Foreign Legion pics below.

Military Bands have always been a very collectable category as far as I know… Toy Soldiers need music to march on!
Bands standing instead of marching, or even seated are a special variant of the subject. See three examples of a serious collector.
Enjoy!

He posts frequently in Facebook… and his collection is really impressive!… he even got in it the late Featherstone’s Armies… Those Highlanders are Britain’s of course… but he is an eclectic collector and has items from a variety of makers. Enjoy!

Find hereby some delightful vignettes done by Andrew Stevenson from REPLICA METAL MODEL SOLDIERS.
There are several years specials (for X’mas) mixed up.
Quite peaceful if you ask me…
Enjoy!
And now some real toy soldiers after the sugary season… original subjects to say the least!

I am very partial to REPLICA’s output… in this case a bunch of ACW recast Britain’s like toy soldiers…
They are hard to get!… meaning patience is the main asset when ordering from REPLICA!… but the results are worth the wait.
Wish Andrew luck with them.
Enjoy

If you do collect 54mm Toy Soldiers it would be a good idea to join The International Toy Soldier Club… really good company!
Look one of the last Posts there… A highlander late campaign uniform (kakhi) full Band (Band + Fifes&Drums)… done by Andrew Stevenson for a customer no other than James Opie of worldwide fame expertise on Britains Toy Soldiers.
A fantastic set (bespoke… so unique)…
Enjoy!
