Toy soldiers - A visit to the "Figurenmesse" in Bad Nauheim 2023

Manufacturers:  a lot of different ones

Scale:  also a lot of different scales

Hi,

This weekend I joined the "Figurenmesse" in Bad Nauheim, Hesse, Germany, for the first time.

Just to get an impression of what´s going on there. There have been a lot of Hausser-Elastolin figures for sale, both in 7cm and 4cm and also a lot of conversions. I also have seen a great number of Lineol-figures from former times but also from today´s production. It was great fun to visit the show and a lot of memories of my childhood came up that remembered me of my own battles I had fought with Elastolin, TimpoToys, Airfix, Matchbox and all that stuff.

But my special interest was to buy me some more toysoldiers for my own collection. So - though I sometimes thought of also buying some Hausser-figures - I concentrated on my beloved figures of JohnJenkinsDesigns, TeamMiniatures and King&Country.

I think I won´t revisit this show as the "Zinnfigurenbörse" in Kulmbach is the much better fair for my interests, but for those who are dealing with Elastolin and so on this show is a Mecca for sure and I can only advice to give it a try.

Here are some pictures of the show. Hope you enjoy. :)

Cheers

Mike

4cm Germania-figures suitable for Hausser Elastolin. They are sold unpainted. There are also some of them in my own pile of shame.

Also often to be found - selfmade dioramas and conversions.

Figures of the company Lineol of today´s production.

Also Lineol - Winnetou, Old Shatterhand, Old Firehand, ...

... and Old Webble.

I just thought about buying just one of eht Mountys.

Again Lineol

The most popular range of Lineol is WorldWar II

The DAK was very nice.

Most of the orders come from America.

A look inside the TIger - all parts are removable.
