Well, it has been a while since I posted anything. Between work, the weather and the hobby I have had my hands full. About a month from now is the Midwest Toy Soldier show. We will be back again this year.

The Midwest show is one of our favorite shows to do. For three days we will be buying, selling and trading. The first two days we take part in the room trading. The hotel is like a mall with rooms acting as stores. You get to spend hours walking around shopping. Plus, meeting other collectors and vendors. Each day is a little different, you have different people taking part or new products being available. Last year one vendor had a wholesale sale, and a collector came to sell off a bunch of playsets at great prices.

On Sunday March 16th in the main ballroom is a toy soldier show. You have other dealers that do not take part in the room trading showing up for the show. You never know what you might find at this show.

Here are some new miniatures that Warhansa is making. The first picture is of some Turkish Janissaries. The second picture is of a Gual fighting a Roman Legionnaire.

Here are some of TihonFigureN latest figures. The first picture is of Captain Blood and his crew. The second is of Rambo.

First Legion the famous maker of high-quality painted metal toy soldiers is now making them in rubber resin. Here are some pictures of Napoleonic French Grenadiers. Hopefully we can find some of these products in the USA when the war ends. But for now, you probably could find them on eBay.

Here are a few of the sets I have been working on lately. A few new native American themed sets and some new medieval sets. I have about 15 sets in different stages of development right now. I will have some of these at the Midwest show. Besides the miniatures that I am testing, I keep testing out new resin mixtures.

That is it for now. In my next post I will have an interview we my friend, fellow collector and owner of AMBA Soldiers Anton Gorichenko. We hope to see you at the shows.
