Toysoldiers - Kronprinz Toy Soldiers

Manufacturer:   Kronprinz Toy Soldiers

Scale:   60mm (1:30)

Today I got three figures of the manufacturer "Kronprinz Toy Soldiers" from Spain. I have ordered them about one month ago and as this manufacturer is a smaller one it took some time to get my delivery. 

Someone told me on Facebook that this company used to produce figures for DelPrado. I don´t know if this is correct but it might be true comparing the style of the figures.

These are my first figures from this producer and I wanted to give them a try. I have seen these three Celts on the homepage of the company and decided to buy them for my collection of Late Republican Romans fighting the Celts aud Gauls.

In my opinion the painting style is not as clean as from the other companies. Especially the eyes and faces are not as good as those from other figures. But they do look good and fit well to the style and size of the miniatures of the other manufacturers. 

So - here they are.

Cheers

My small collection of Celts and late Republican Romans so far. On the left you can see the new
figures from Kronprinz Toy Soldiers.

The Kronprinz figures on their own.

There are at least three Celts in the range at the moment. At least I didn´t 
find more on the homepage.

This naked warrior was a must-have.

The second warrior.

And the third one.

Toysoldiers - Two "Celts" from Russia

Manufacturers:   unknown

Hi,

I have found some interesting and very nice painted figures on ebay that do fit perfectly to my small collection of Rome an its enemies.

The figures are from Russia, maybe St.Petersburg, and one has a graving on its base saying "HM". But nobody was able to tell me more about this manufacturer. I even don´t know if these figures come unpainted or painted like JohnJenkinsDesign or King&Country. I guess that they do come unpainted because I have seen the same figure with the hog on the standart a second time on ebay but painted in different colors. But I am not really sure for there are also some figures within the ranges of JohnJenkins that have the same pose but are painted differently.

My question about the manufacturer in a facebook group was answered that there are a lot of manufacturers from Russia making small ranges so it is rather difficult to find out about these special makers. And I was also told that the figures aren´t really historical as especially the Russian manufacturers often refer to illustrations of the 19th century that are not correct.

But in my opinion both figures look very good for the painter, whether a collector or painter from the manufacturer, did a terrific job. And let me say it in the words of Ridley Scott: "Have you been there back then?"

Cheers 

Mike
