Last week was the Chicago Toy Soldier Show or now called Chicagoland Toy Soldier Show. Hundreds of rooms were booked in the Chicago Marriott Schaumburg hotel. The room trading officially started on Thursday September 19th and continued on Friday & Saturday. The show was on Sunday, September 22nd. I heard that over 400 people attended the show itself.

We were not at the show itself. But I had some friends take some pictures and gathered others from the internet. Jason Evans took some pictures of the room trading.

Austin Miniatures had new Marines and some older sets like the WWII Japanese Infantry. Plus, their wargaming scaled miniatures.

David & Kim Cook of MicShaun’s closet had a bunch of the TSSD plastic toy soldiers, LOD/Barzso products and foam terrain pieces. Plus, a bunch of other things.

Mike Kutnick had a mixture of vintage Marx plastic toy soldiers, Barzso resin figures and this year some of our Warhorse Miniatures.

Here are some pictures of Nate’s Garage custom toys.

Rich Egan has a nice mixture of vintage playsets, Barzso products, Conte Toy Soldiers and vintage Marx toys.

Jason said “This Marx set was from 1964, titled Beach-Head landing. It’s so cool watching them unbox these sets. The sets are donated every year by Craig Remington. Rick Eber always does the actual unboxing itself.”

Collector Jacob Kendall sent me these pictures that he took of the show.

Here are the pictures that Jason Evans took of the show. Mike Kutnick had some of our Warhorse Miniature products with him. I heard that W. Britain had a nice setup.

Rob Hornung had some unique hand-crafted toys for the show. There was nice selection of vintage plastic figures, antique & modern painted metal soldiers and vintage toys. Plus, a great battle display.

Here are some more pictures that I got that Matt Murphy had posted on Facebook. I heard that there was a lot of foot traffic for the room trading and the show was a success. That’s it for the Chicago Show. You can see more pictures of the show at the Treefrog Treasures forum, chicago-show-2024-pictures, We will start attending the show on a regular basis in 2026.

I have been busy working. The testing continues on new products. The British models have been updated. There were some things that were fixed and changed. There will be a bunch of different sets coming out in a couple of months. I will be adding more products to the webstore soon too. Most of the Plains Indian sets have been added.

In about 20 days we will be setup at the New Jersey Toy Soldier show. It is in Wayne, NJ. Hobby Bunker will be at this show too. This will be our last show of the year. We hope to see you there.

We hope everyone is safe, a lot of people have been affected by Hurricane Helene. Our thoughts & prayers are with you.

Last Sunday was the second Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show this year. They started doing this two years ago. The crowd was bigger than last year. We had our best one-day event so far. The first three hours was really busy.

We will start the review with Dr. Christian Keller. He sells antique toy soldiers. You can also see him at the North Gate Antique Mall in Carlisle, Pa.

Steve Connell had his usual mixture of vintage plastic and painted metal toy soldiers for sale at good prices.

Fast Eddie had his usual mix of antique & vintage toy soldiers at great prices.

Rob Hornung had a big selection of his hand crafted & painted metal toy soldiers. He had some really unique sets with him. The big sets were around $900.

Paul Knapp had a bunch of vintage Playsets with him and was displaying a custom “Picketts’ Charge” Playset they he had put together. Some of the 3d printed soldiers were from Warhorse Miniatures. He also had some custom-made terrain pieces that were around $5 to $15 a piece. Here is a video of Paul doing a review of some of my Civil War miniatures.

Eric Kohl was selling military art, books and different types of toy soldiers.

Some random pictures of painted metal toy soldiers.

Todd Nace had some bins of vintage plastic figures to search through and some vintage playsets.

Talking about plastic figures to search through, they were everywhere at this show. Here are some pictures from different vendors.

Here are more random pictures of painted metal toy soldiers.

So far, the trend of the second Gettysburg show is that it is mainly collectors setting up to sell parts of their collections. You can find some rare or hard to find sets at good prices. I picked up the Conte Paratrooper for $70.

More pictures of random plastic items to sort through.

Here are some random pictures of different vendors.

There are a few different dealers that bring a lot of good vintage toys to the show every year.

Another new vendor named Scot was selling his late Father’s collection. He had a lot of Warhammer miniatures with him. They looked like Bretonnia, Empire and High Elves warriors. He will be back next year at the spring show.

Last but not least, were our tables. We had more Warhorse Miniatures products this time. Some vintage plastic toys soldiers too and a couple of foam houses. The latest sets were the Cheyenne, Crow, and Ojibwe Indians. Plus, the Confederate skirmish sets. The mat with the teepees on it is made by, Battle Mat Bazaar.

I took these pictures around noon, as the crowd was starting to thin out. I did not have too much time to run around and take a closer look at the other tables. It was very busy the first few hours. There were some deals to be found and rare items too. The crowd was good, it should continue to grow as more collectors become aware that there will be two shows every year now.

Here are some videos about the show and Warhorse Miniatures. The first video is by Paul Knapp, here is his review of the show.

The second is by Bill Molyneaux. Here is his review of the show. Bill asked me a few questions about my company.

Now that the review is over, we will see what I found for myself. I picked up this Conte WWII US Paratrooper for $70. I was not looking for this item, but I had to buy it when I saw it. A truly amazing piece.

I also picked up these Barzso items at the show from Steve Connell. The Auburn army vehicles I found of a dollar a piece at an antique sidewalk yard sale.

We usually check out antique stores on the way to a show and afterwards too. Here are some paper products we found. The E.T. Paull piece was $18, the Boys of 76 magazines were $5 each and the comics were less than $3 each.

The Chicagoland Toy Soldier show will start officially on Thursday, September 19th, but some collectors will get there earlier. The Show itself is on Sunday, September 22nd 2024. You can learn more about the show by clicking on this link, https://chicagotoysoldiershow.com/. Or visiting the Facebook page over here, https://www.facebook.com/ChicagoToySoldierShow.

We will not be able to attend the Chicago Show until 2026, but we will be attending the New Jersey Toy Soldier show on Sunday, October 20th, 2024. This show is located in Wayne, NJ.

We continue designing new products and changing some of the older sets. Between now and the end of the year I plan on releasing new French Marines, British Infantry, WWII US Paratroopers and some Normans. Plus, more Native American Indians. That’s it for now. Thank you for reading.

The Latest News!! 07/07/2024 ~ Cheyenne Dog Soldiers, Crow Warriors & Ojibwe Indians, British 60th Regiment in Red Resin, and the Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show August 25th.

/ Warhorse Miniatures / 2 Comments

I hope everyone enjoyed the 4th of July weekend. I was off this week and started catching up on some things. I still have a lot of old sets to update and new sets in different stages of development.

Last week I added the new Ojibwe tribe set to the store page, Ojibwe Indians Set – 54mm Resin. The set depicts 18th century Ojibwe warriors. Also, part of the set was a Charles Michel de Langlade character figure. He was half French & half native American. He walked between two cultures. He served in the French military as a French Marine officer and also was a Ottawa War Chief.

I started working on a new red resin mixture. I recently have been testing out new resins. One for the flexibility & strength, and others for the color. I like this scarlet red look. You actually can see the details nicely. Red is a hard color to work with. I added the Virginian Regiment in red to depict the Royal American or the British 60th Regiment, British Royal Americans 60th Regiment Set – 54mm Resin.

The Crow tribe set is in development. Just a few tweaks and it will be finished. This is the second set of warriors in the Plains Indian series. I will have most of the Plains Indian sets listed on the store page later this month.

This set is called the “Battle Sets”. It will be added later this month too.

Here is another project in development. These are Bark Teepees. A favorite of the Ojibwe. I am in the process of making some new villagers to go with this.

Lastly in development is the Cheyenne tribe set. This set depicts the Cheyenne Dog Soldiers. They are led by the famous Cheyenne War leader Roman Nose. This set will be available by the end of the month too. All the Plains Indian sets are around 57mm.

We will have all of these new sets at the next Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show which is on August 25th. Plus, much more. I have other things in development. But that is another discussion at a future time.

The Latest News!! 05/26/2024, MFCA Show review, and some Hobby News.

/ Warhorse Miniatures / Leave a comment

In remembrance of Memorial Day, we Americans honor all of those who have died in service to the United States during war and peace.

In the beginning of the month, we attended the 81st Annual MFCA Show & Mart. It was over two days. This show is not like the toy soldier shows we attend. The competition is the highlight of this event. The mart is just part of it. The cost of the show was $20 for both days. It is more expensive than toy soldier shows. It includes the competition too. You will find a lot of unpainted metal & resin figures. Some painted metal toy soldiers and a few plastic toys soldiers. But you can find some nice items. That being said let us begin the review.

Aaron Elson was at the show again selling military related books about WWII veterans, including his Father. The stories they had to tell about their experiences from the war.

Digital Realms Models and Toys was selling vintage toys, model kits and books.

Eugene Hanin of DVH Design or Tin Toy Soldiers, was at the show this year. He had a bunch of metal casted miniatures from Russia. The details were really sharp and at a good price.

Foggy Bottom Miniatures had casted metal miniatures from brands like Sanderson, Monarch, Rose and other brands. He is getting more Sanderson molds and from other brands. The castings are really nice.

Next, we have Hobby Bunker. Matt had his mobile store with him again. There were vintage plastic toy soldier sets, new plastic & painted metal toy soldier and everything else the hobby offers.

Military Matters was there with a bunch of military reference books.

George from Minutemen Toy Soldiers had painted medal toy soldiers from all the major brands.

Northern Warden Gaming had a bunch of plastic bits so you could build custom miniatures.

Dr. Christian Keller of Old Toy Soldiers had a bunch of antique toys and toy soldiers.

Here are some pictures of random vendors.

The Patriot of Lake George store had some nice military weapons and items. Plus, some nice toy soldiers too. You can see more at their website over here, http://www.patriotoflakegeorge.com/.

W. Britain was present too. They had some of the latest products and previews of what was to come. I took the opportunity to rejoin the Collector’s club. They are my favorite brand of painted metal toy soldiers.

We did well at this show. Warhorse Miniatures is a medium between a toy soldier and a military miniature. We try to be historically accurate but have some characteristics of a toy soldier like the bigger heads and hands. We had our latest products from the Plains Indian theme and French & Indian War theme.

I was only able to take a few pictures of the competition.

Our friend Steve Pyle won a few more awards again this year. Congratulations Steve!!

The Artist Keith Rocco was here also. He had some of his work available.

Butternut & Blue 54mm Union Civil War Toy Soldiers

Butternut & Blue 54mm Confederate Civil War Toy Soldiers

Huron Indians Set – 54mm Resin

Canadian Militia Set – 54mm Resin

Prone Canadian Militia – 54mm Resin

We added some new products to the web store this week and have acquired some of the Butternut & Blue Civil War products recently too. You can check out all the products available right now over here, Warhorse Miniatures Store page.

We wrap up another post. Over the next few months, we will be releasing new products and some of the older sets will get updated or re-run into production again. We are starting to use a new resin mixture that is stronger, more flexible and looks better too. The best part is the price has stayed the same for our products.

See you in August at Gettysburg. Thank you for reading.

The day started at 3:30am. We were on the road around 4:20am. Around 7:30am we started setting up our tables for the Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show.

Around 9:30am the tables were set up and I was able to walk around to take some pictures. Here are a few before the show started. I was busy for most of the show and was able to take some more pictures again around 2pm.

While we were setting up, I would take a look at some of the tables near to me. To the right of us was Nate’s Garage, to the left was McShaun’s Closet. And across from us was Fast Eddie and a vendor selling Britians Deetail Toy Soldiers.

One of the Vendors near Steve Connell was selling a Conte Saxon Medieval Cog. This is the second year in a row someone was selling this ship. I purchased one last year. The seller was asking $750.

Rick Eber had a bunch of the vintage plastic toy soldiers and playsets again.

Eddie Gries had with him his usually mixture of Osprey military reference books, vintage painted metal toy soldiers, new painted metal toy soldiers, and vintage plastic toy soldiers.

The Gettysburg Miniature Soldiers Store, was setup with some W. Britians toy soldiers and plastic tanks. If you spend some time in Gettysburg you have to visit their store.

Matt from Hobby Bunker was present with his usual selection of everything the hobby has to offer.

Rob Hornung had his hand crafted & painted miniatures with him. Some really unique themes. I like the color schemes and selection of the poses he picks.

Some pictures of random vendors.

Eric Kohl had some artwork, old reference magazines and modern & old painted metal toy soldiers.

David & Kim Cook of MicShaun’s Closet had a bunch of foam buildings, terrain pieces, castles & forts and a lot of the TSSD plastic toy soldiers with them.

Frank had some models and figurines that he had painted for sale.

Here are more random dealers from the show.

Nate’s Garage was right next to me, so I was able to take a lot of pictures of his incredible products. Most of his items are hand crafted or repurposed. He paints everything too.

Here are two pictures of a storage bin that was picked through, throughout the show.

Here were some unique action figures that I never saw before…

Steve Pyle had with him a bunch of his hand painted dioramas. He will convert most of his toy soldiers to make new poses. He also hand crafts most of his props used in the displays. He will be at the MFCA Show on May 3rd & 4th. We will be there too.

Steve also had some of my Warhorse Miniatures painted and displayed.

Here are some random pictures of plastic toy soldiers. You usually can find some vendors that have storage bins to search through. They are usually priced cheap.

Here are some more pictures of random vendors.

Rick Lipp had a nice Navarone set and vintage Marx toy soldiers.

Here are some pictures of vintage playsets.

Jack Eagan had a bunch of painted metal toy soldiers. Some were loose and there were others with the original boxes. He was selling some for $30 or I think it was $25 each if purchased 4 figures.

Lastly, we have a few pictures of our table. Here are some of the latest products we are producing. For the French & Indian War era series, the new sets were the Native Mothers and Gatherers, Huron Indians and 1755 Virginia Regiment in blue. We also did them in red to depict the British 60th Regiment or Royal Americans and in brown for a colonial militia. For the Plains Indian series, we had 5 different types of Teepees, Sioux Indian Warriors and some woman villagers.

All in all, it was a good show. It was well attended, and collectors were buying. We noticed a lot of new people and the crowd was made up of all ages. One collector said he had been collecting for about 30 years and this was the first time he came to a show.

This coming Friday, May 3rd & Saturday, May 4th we will be in Trevose, PA outside of Philadelphia for the MFCA Show. For more information click over here, https://www.mfcaclub.com/2024-show.

We had fun at the Gettysburg Show and will be back there on August 25th for the 2nd Show this year. That is it for now. Thanks for reading.

The Latest News!! 03/24/2024, Midwest Toy Soldier Show Part Two, The Show.

/ Warhorse Miniatures / 3 Comments

Here is the part two of the review for the Midwest Toy Soldier Show. The show started off slow, but it picked up about an hour after the doors opened. We met a lot of new collectors. I wish I was able to take more pictures. But I did not have the time.

We start with Bill Richardson’s table. He had some nice Auburn Army men and a lot of vintage vehicles.

David & Kim Cook had a bunch of tables full of plastic toy soldiers and foam pieces. David said “We are bringing back some of the previous TSSD playsets, updating and improving them. By adding new foam pieces, accessories and figures. And we are in the process of creating new playsets Looking forward to seeing everyone at Gettysburg.”

We end the show with my tables. I had a small display of the Plains Indians and Woodland Indians. I almost forgot to take pictures of my tables. I took a few as we were packing up. That is it with the review. We had a great time and will be back next year. The numbers were down some, but many vendors did really good in sales. I will now show some of the other stuff I found at the show.

Here is a lot of toy soldiers that I got from John Anderson too. In a small box was mainly Accurate Colonial toy soldiers in different shades of blue. Around 75 of them. There we some other figures like the Marx figures. Plus, some plastic women figures with what looks like a fire in one hand. I never have seen this model before. I would like to find out more about them. This lot of figures cost me $10.

Also in the lot of Accurate colonial soldiers was this plastic Britians British Artillery figures. Plus the small cannon. I set them up with one of my metal cannons. I have the same set as the picture of them painted. But never knew you could find them unpainted.

The Latest News!! 03/20/2024, Midwest Toy Soldier Show Part One, Room Trading.

/ Warhorse Miniatures / 1 Comment

We had a great time at the Midwest Toy Soldier Show. We left Pennsylvania on Thursday morning around 4:45am and arrived in Lafayette, Indiana a little after 3pm. The trip was not too bad. There were no traffic delays, but some rain. There was a tornado in the southern part of Indiana that did not affect us. We took everything to the room and then got something to eat. Afterwards, I walked around the 1st floor as some of the vendors were room trading already.

Across from our room was Rick Keller & Rick Lipp. They had a bunch of playsets and vintage Marx toy soldiers. Plus, some HO scale Atlantic figure sets. At one point on Saturday, a collector came and purchased about 15 playsets & some other things from them.

After I said Hello to Keller & Lipp, I went to see Mike Kutnick. As usual he had a bunch of Barzso and some unique things. I picked up some Barzso accessories to add to my collection for the Woodland Indians. Mike had a bunch of accessories to pick through and some Barzso figure sets. I also found some Austin Miniature WWII Japanese and Marines.

Next to Mike was Rod Chapman’s room. He had some vintage plastic and dime store toy soldiers.

Doug Wood had a bunch of vintage plastic toy soldiers, playsets and vehicles. There were Bags of Marx Germans at good prices. Plus, some Marx American & German Soldiers with some minor damage at great prices too.

Rich Egan had a bunch of Conte and Barzso products. He always has some quality playsets or figures with him.

There was another collector that was selling off John Jenkins toy soldiers and some other brands. I think they were around $25 to $30 each. I forgot his name; I will try to update this later. He will be selling things again at the Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show on April 21st.

We took part in the room trading on Friday & Saturday. Each morning, we opened between 9am & 10am. We took a 3 hour break mid-day and were open to around 9pm each night. The crowds were a lot less this year. But we had more sales than the last time we were here two years ago. I talked to a lot of collectors and other vendors. There was a lot of interest in the new Plains Indians that I am making. Because the foot traffic was slow, I started walking around to see what other vendors had. I found some nice things and good prices.

John Anderson had a fire sale going on. At first, I wasn’t really interested in looking through a bunch of boxes and small storage containers that he had. I saw a lot of Marx playsets and boxes with Marx or other vintage plastic stuff. I am not a big Marx collector. John kept on telling me to take a look, things were cheap. So, I did and I found a few things that I liked. The first was this Airfix Footballers boxed set. There were 47 soccer figures in 1/32 scale or 54mm. The box came with 29 figures and the rest were extra. All of this for $10. This was actually a set that I was looking for to add to my Airfix collection. It is a hard set to find over here in the states.

I found this Aurora Camelot set from John too. I paid $5 for this set. It is rare and hard to find. I love sculpting and poses with this set. The models are 54mm and made in a hard model plastic.

Mike Kutnick had some Austin Miniatures World War II sets that I purchased. I got this Japanese set for $35. I have two sets already. I like the sculpting on these figures too. They are around 58mm and made out a hard resin. They are painted a beige color. The weapons are made out of metal. Maybe one day they will do them in plastic.

The second Austin Set was another limited edition set, World War II US Marines. I also paid $35 for this one too. There were 8 toy soldiers in this container. I think two were Character figures. The one with the Cigar is “Gunny”, I believe. The last pictured figure with the pistol and Thompson is an Officer. These were around 58mm and made out of resin with the metal weapons too. Some of these models look like they will be made into plastic in the near future.

Well this wraps up the first part of our two-part review of the Midwest Toy Soldier Show. I wish I was able to take more pictures of the room trading. They were a lot of good deals. A collector sold his Barzso Playset collection of 14 playsets. They went for $200 to $300 a piece. We missed this sale while we were out eating on Saturday. I will have more updates about the show and the other things I picked up at the show too in the next post this weekend.

The Latest News!! 02/27/2024, Midwest Toy Soldier Show.

In a few weeks we will be attending the Midwest Toy Soldier Show in Lafayette, Indiana. As usual, we will be bringing the latest Warhorse Miniatures products, Barzso Resin Toy Soldiers and some vintage toys. The Room Trading starts on Friday, March 15th and then continue on Saturday, March 16th. The show itself will be on Sunday, March 17th from 10am to 3pm. For more information about the show click on the link here, http://www.mwtoysoldier.com/.

The past few months we have been busy testing things and filling orders. Plus making things for the next show. The main theme of this year will be the Wild West.

I am having different Plains Indian tribes created. The first tribe will be the Sioux Indian tribe. The Plains Indians will be scaled to match the TSSD Plains Indians with is around 57mm. Also, later on they will be made to match the Barzso & Airfix Indians with are around 54mm. The 57mm set with be $48. The cost for the set in 54mm will be $40.

I am creating a Plains Indian village with different teepees and villager sets throughout the year. The cost of the “Buffalo Skinners” will be $25. It will consist of 2 Native Women and 2 different Buffalo skin props. I am still working on things, so some things might change. Like in the “Open Teepee”, I am thinking of adding a few miniatures to go with it.

Here are some more different variants of the teepee. Some are made out of canvas and others with Buffalo skins. The sizes vary from 155mm to 165mm. The price for the teepees will be $45 a piece.

We are also continuing to work on the French & Indian War theme. There will be a new Huron Indian set, Marching British Grenadier & Foot sets, Canadian Militia set, Prone Canadian figure, wounded Natives and more. There will be more British & Natives in a couple of months.

Lastly, here is an update on the long-term project of the WWII US Paratrooper. We have spent a lot of time on this project. Things are coming along nicely. I hope to have a set or two ready by the fall of 2024.

Time is flying by this year. When we get back from the Midwest Show we will be attending the Gettysburg show about a month later.

That is it for now. Thank you for reading.

The Latest News!! 12/31/2023, Happy New Year and some Hobby News.

/ Warhorse Miniatures / 4 Comments

Carolyn and I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I am writing a short post before the end of the year. It is about updates with production and some previews of what is to come.

Earlier in the year I was selling some Confederate Marching sets at the Gettysburg Toy Soldier shows. I later resized the heads on half of the models. They are now ready for production. I was thinking of producing these in a few different scales. I tested the 54mm and 60mm figures yesterday.

Here are some of my Warhorse Confederates compared to other brands like Conte, Imex and Marx. The Brown Confederates above are around 60mm and the Grey are around 54mm.

Here are a few prototypes of some different teepees that I am working on. I am making a few changes, but they are just about finished. They will be made in two different sizes. The cost of the Teepees is $35 for the small ones and $50 for the bigger ones.

Here are some pictures of the teepee with different brands of plastic Native American Indians.

This is the Native American Gathers set. I might add another figure to this. So, the price will be either $30 for 6 miniatures or $35 if I add another. The scale is close to the Barzso villagers set. I will have some more Native American sets coming out earlier next year. You can use this set with for the Woodland Indians or Plains Indians. I was thinking of making these miniatures in a bigger scale, like 57mm to match some of the TSSD Plains Indians.

Here are the first 3 “Battle Sets” that I have been working on. These sets have been made to bring your dioramas alive. As time goes on, I will create more sets like this. The cost of each will be $15.

Things are coming along with the 3D workshop. I will start adding some sets in January & February. The Teepees will be available in March. I will have some at the Midwest Toy Soldier Show and probably 5 to 6 new sets by then. I am going over my older sets and will be revising some of them. Some will be discontinued and replaced altogether. That is it for now. Thank you for reading.
