King & Country Soldiers TR016 "“The Queen & Her Corgis” (Tangerine Orange)"

Most 'Royal Observers' have noticed that Her Late Majesty enjoyed wearing bright colours, especially in her later years, with some wondering what colours were her particular favourite. According to Ms. Angela Kelly, the Queen's long-serving personal attendant, among her favourites were these three selections featured here. The final colour combination here shows the late monarch in a saturated, bold orange ensemble. The Queen herself selected her favourite colours because in her own words "You have to be seen to be believed". She was a 'people person' and enjoyed meeting millions of her subjects in all kinds of gatherings large and small. Being petite herself she also understood that it would be helpful if she wore brightly coloured clothes so that even among huge crowds the people would still spot her easily.TR016 portrays Queen Elizabeth in a shade of Tangerine Orange with of course, matching coat and hat together with simple classic black bag and shoes. Around her feet are a trio of Royal Corgis. Since she was a small child the Queen had loved and appreciated these small Pembroke Welsh Corgi dogs beginning with her first called 'Dookie' in 1933.

WE are one of the best-known and most-collected producers of toys soldiers and miniature figures in the world today.

King & Country all-metal, hand-painted, 1:30 scale figures (about 60mm tall) cover the broadest spectrum of history - from Ancient to Modern and many points in between.

K & C begin in Ancient Egypt before travelling on to the time of Christ and Imperial Rome... K & C's miniature history series include The Crusades before journeying westwards to Europe and The English Civil War and later to the colourful spectacle of The Age of Napoleon. Moving even further west across the Atlantic we depict the brave but doomed battle to defend The Alamo and the epic Indian Wars of the late 19th Century.

In more modern times King & Country helps tell the story of The First World War and the battles and campaigns in both the Middle East and the Western Front. Following the end of that War we also explore in miniature the people and personalities that led to the terrible rise of The Third Reich in our Berlin '38 series.

That inevitably leads on to The Second World War itself...

No other toy soldier company has designed or produced as many or as varied a selection of WW2 military and civilian figures, fighting AE079nd accessories as King & Country! From the German invasion of Poland in September 1939 until the Fall of Berlin in May 1945 we tell the story in authentic, hand-made detail.

As the real war raged across the globe K&C also reproduces the troops, tanks and many other items that replicates the battles and campaigns fought in Europe... The Pacific... North Africa and Russia. More recent decades' history can be seen in our relatively new Arab / Israeli conflict and Vietnam War series.

On a lighter note, K&C also produces several non-military 'civilian' ranges that attract both male and female collectors...

'Streets of Old Hong Kong' is an affectionate look-back at turn-of-the-19th & 20th Century Hong Kong with a huge range of traditionally dressed Chinese figures and attractive buildings of the period. 'World of Dickens' and 'Streets of Olde London' feature characters and people drawn from the works of Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his most famous creation, Sherlock Holmes.
