Great fun topic! Cool...a simple cleaver idea is to simply add in extra shelves between the existing shelves. You can easily get cut glass shelves and drill in some new holes and set up additional shelving. Almost all of the wood cabinets are made for displaying plates and large Royal Doulton figures so lots of room to add in an extra shelf.

Love the Indian army figures of yesteryear.when great Britain really did rule an empire where the sun never set.full of splendour and regimental pride.thanks again Scott!!

Yet another good presentation, thanks scott!!

Notice how "opponents "soon became integral to British military dominance in empire building. Scots, Welsh,Irish, sikh,gurkha,moiri. Too name but a few.

I think it's very nice, it looks innocent to me and a nice addition to an innocent hobby.

Great stuff! Looks like a fun time! The book the Art of the Toy Soldier is a great book!

Great video. Good to learn about Replica. Didn’t know about them. And a shout out to the GOAT Andy Morant.

Great video ,thank you

Thanks Scott,great episode.😀

Great video, thanks for sharing!

I have about 30 dime store figures. I stopped buying them. All of them are loosely based on WW1 Doughboy American soldiers. They represent a certain era of miniature solders. My true interest is Britains Ldt, Queens Guard figures, found at flea markets or Antique Malls. Usual price for a single Britians figure (in somewhat Ok condition) sells about $10.oo each. These figures are difficult to find, one piece at a time, over some 25 years. What amazes me is the plastic Britains that were very abundantly available in the hobby stores throughout the 1970s, are non existent! Thank you for your Channel!

Hi Scott, is there a dealer who buys 12in and 54m toy soldier collectibles in Canada? Thank you

Great information 👍

I met Andy at his stall on Portobello Rd. Great experience.

👍🇨🇦

Great information 👍

I have had at least two of them. They were all "played to pieces". The big thing at 4:25 still lies around somewhere and could shoot if I could reassemble the affutage (?). The plastic shells are mostly lost, we used iron balls that had some impact on the target. The source of the iron balls are best not mentioned. And they are also gone except a few - they tended to fracture.

I have 15 Ikea cabinets and now the cabinet doors are all glass and are inexpensive. Chris

Hi Scott, In the first instance , if EVER you are in the UK for whatever reason, there will always be a welcome here in Shropshire and if you need to, you are welcome to stay over, but I warn you all the chat will be on soldiers!! I will endeavour to find out how to post pictures on this web site. Best Chris

Hi there just like to say Peter Nathan toy soldiers is still open. They just moved into another building not far away from the QVB.

Good to know...I would never have imagined the results with wooden display cabinets. Thank You ! 👍

These old figures are really strange, you can feel a flavour of antiqueness when you look at them.

Love toy soldiers! Best ever toys ! I have lots Britain's, tradition of London and Good soldiers. Love history and toy soldiers keep up the videos 📹 👍

Did not get much chance to visit with you this show but was great to see you briefly. Thanks for the overview.

I totally agree with you Scott, I want to enjoy my collection, to live every piece in it.

👍🇨🇦

New subscriber from Maine. I stumbled upon your videos on TH-cam. I'm a collector myself in a smaller capacity but there's always room for more. My other interests are O gauge model railroading and die cast vehicle collecting. Keep up the good work and thank you ! 👍👍👍

Thanks Scott great round up of the show!

Thanks for sharing these splendid minis Scott!

The last figure looks like Boer War Era /or WW1 British/empire Ottoman Empire combat!

❤

Splendid video Scott. It looks like this show had the largest vendor attendance (or at least variety of soldiers, etc. available) in some time.

I liked your recent video. The RMC figures are very nice.

But it's awful

Thank you for introducing several volumes that I have overlooked. I have a small collection based on the British, Dominion and Indian armies of July 1914. Many are figures from my childhood. Identifying and reading about them has been a delightful sub- hobby giving me many hours of enjoyment. This would have been impossible without the works of Opie and others. In many ways, the hobby allows one to relive the excitement of receiving toy soldiers as presents. That magic feeling which still lingers of opening a large box containing the entire Guard Mounting set by W.M. Britain is still vivid and is refreshed by reference amd research. Once again, thank you.

Que buena colección!!!

❤❤❤ just awesome...

i have just found your collection of videos, and i must say how very enjoyable they are. i am working my way through them, please keep up the great work.

Love your Kriegsmarine collection,well presented

I keep meaning to go but current finances are stopping London trips except for Salute in April.

Enjoyed this vlog, excellent as usual. I have always been interested in the Sudan Wars.

I can send you my details for that estate donation! :) You got a bit of gas left I am sure/hope!!

Personality figures have always been the most difficult, especially contemporary figures as we all know what they "should look like" vs what is put out by the various sometimes overpriced newer manufactures!

OMSS check out the Society...Google Ontario Model Soldier Society, in our 62nd year!

Good topic Scott...a now long gone Toy Soldier expert once gave me very simple advice on "Rarity". "Anything can be "Rare" he indicated, a pair of your old sneakers are rare but do they have any desirability that then turns into value". Rarity does NOT equal value was the point he wanted to instill in me.

you make some very good points. personally if i like it and can afford it then i buy it rarity has no influence on my decision. btw, i have the first two versions of the naval gun - so they can't be that rare.

Great episode Scott!

I believe those mounted soldiers are JOHILCO.
