Most of these are from them weekly publication series that start for Â£1.99 & then run for 100 + issues @ Â£7.99 each...needless to say I've never paid full price & have got 'em cheap from toy fair, boot sales & military vehicle shows for very little

Good quality I got the Napoleonic Wars magazine with soldiers in which got cancelled. I don't remember these ones when did they come out?

Thanks Paul, they are superb collector/toy soldiers..Andy I'm not shure about the ones with the ground effect stands,

I've never seen them advertised or seen a magazine in the shops, but they turn up a lot @ shows & toy fairs for very little money, & are 1;35 (ish) scale..the ones with the brown stands..

are from the Del Prado Men @ Wars series, & are larger more like 1:32nd scale, just like the Napoleonic ones you collect..(do you have photo's by any chance?)

The smaller scale ones seem to be of contemporary subjects like these U.S. Special Forces

& came with a tag "Front line Figures"...the nice thing about them is the fact they have the names of the uniforms & country printed on the bottom of the stand, apart from that I can't tell you any thing about them.

They seem to have a lot of U.K. subjects like this S.A.S guy in desert fatigues
