The British Toy Soldier Company

The British Toy Soldier Company, an England based producer of toy soldiers, produces historical and traditional 54mm glossy toy soldiers. Each toy soldier is cast and painted completely by hand. Although The British Toy Soldier Company's focus is primarily on World War I figures it also offers sets of marching bands, parading soldiers, ceremonial cavalry figures, Scots Guards, Royal Marines, Royal Horse Artillery, Highlanders and Royal Air Force pieces.

Trains and Toy Soldiers is excited to offer this newly available line of historical toy soldiers.  The British Toy Soldier Company is a small cottage industry located in England.  Since it produces custom made figures and toy soldiers availability is not as large as such manufacturers King & Country, John Jenkins and William Britain. The quality is outstanding and the attention given to the paint detail, all done by hand, is amazing. It reminds me of modern day Britain's Limited.

The many figures available will help enhance your toy soldier diorama. Scots Guards marching in review lead by a colour party will show-off your display.  World War I Highlanders marching, World War I troops in winter dress wearing trench coats are also available. 

Patrick Adams, founder of The British Toy Soldier Company, began producing unique traditional style toy soldiers in 2000. Patrick's dedication and love of collecting toy figures and military miniatures has greatly helped in his selection of military figures. Imagine setting up a display of Royal Horse Artillery soldiers waiting for review as the Royal Horse Artillery Bugler sounds off. A unit of Scots Guards at attention along with an officer await inspection by Mr. Churchill or perhaps Lifeguards standing at attention present arms. Just entering the parade grounds, off to the right of the stands, is the Scots Guards Marching Band.

Most collectible soldiers now are finished with a matte paint, which enhances the realism that the modern collector seeks. Traditional toy soldiers, however, were finished with a shiny, or glossy, paint that has an attraction and charm all its own. It reflects the original purpose of the figure, to be a toy soldier, and when displayed draws the eye to the bright colors of the uniforms.
