It is a very exciting time for us collectors this time of the year. The Chicago Toy Soldier Show is less than a few weeks away. Usually the toy companies will release new products or show some prototypes at the show. Last week HaT finally re-stocked the Seven Years War Prussian sets in 1/32 scale. These sets will be available this month(September). I have been looking for these for almost 5 years now. I really like these figures. Hopefully they will release the new 1/32 scaled Seven Years War Austrians soon.



The sets are sold as Marching, Action and Command.

With these sets you can change hats of the figures to make them look as either Musketeers, Fusiliers or Grenadiers.


You can get these sets for around $15.00 or less.
Besides being used as Prussians these figures can be easily used as Hessian mercenaries that served for the British in the American Revolution. The mix well with the new LOD/Barzso figures.

I like the Grenadier hats the best. The details on those hats are really nice and have a nice shape to them. Other plastic Grenadier figures that have been made over the years have some weird shaped hats.


A great news Mike. The wait was worth it. Awesome figures, infinite possibilities. Regards
These figures are really nice for the cost both in detail and size. They can used used in both the Seven Years War and American Revolutionary War.
Great to see. These are amongst Hat’s very best figures in my view. I painted lots of them at 1/72 scale.
Yes my thoughts are the same. I don’t have too many figures in 1/72 scale. The ones that I do have I mainly got when I was a kid. I have some Airfix figures from various periods. They made some nice sets too.
To all, there is a very good possibility that Ed Borris and myself will be debuting one and maybe two never before released Armies in Plastic playsets at the Chicago Show. Things might change, supposedly one proto is being done now.
Hi Mike. That sounds interesting. Thanks for the update. It is another thing to look forward to. Any idea what subjects the Playsets are?
