Heritage Classics
 As many of you may know, the history of toy soldier collecting goes back almost two hundred years, and for most of that time, both the manufacturing and collecting of these little fighting figures was mainly centred in Europe and North America.

Over the last two decades, a growing number of the collector base has moved to Asia with China being the epicenter of that expansion.   At the same time, this expanding collector base is considerably younger than some those in Europe and elsewhere and… very enthusiastic.  Here in Hong Kong and at events around Asia, I have been fortunate to personally meet many of these newer collectors who have came into this great hobby of ours.

Already, many of these same collectors have, in a relatively short period, filled up their collections with virtually all of the items released in the last 10-15 years along with those currently still in production.  Now, many of these same collectors are actively seeking out rare, retired items from long-past releases.  Fortunately for some, they can sometimes find that special piece or set when it is offered up for sale by those K &C dealers who also specialize in buying up collections and reselling.  Failing that, the ‘hunting’ collector will go on ebay and often pay an exorbitant price for what was once a modestly-priced item.

In recent years, many of these ‘newer’ collectors have suggested we should simply re-release some of the most requested pieces in exactly the same format and style as the original figures.  We gave this proposal a fair hearing, before deciding that K&C should adapt and improve any original sculpt with our current approach to more authentic and realistic style of painting and weathering.

So, now here we are releasing our very first 10 figures of what we are calling, King & Country’s own ‘Heritage Classics’.  Grouped in five two-man sets, they were originally part of our ‘Battle of The Bulge’ range of German ‘winter’ soldiers, with some release dates going back as far as 2005 and 2006.  We selected these particular German soldiers to add onto our recently- released all-new, Sdk7/1 ‘Flakvierling four-barrelled, anti aircraft flak gun, half track.

As you will notice, K&C has also transferred these ‘Heritage Classics’ from Western Europe all the way to the frozen Eastern Front, hence the red identification bands on their upper left arms.

There are lots of other subtle differences in these new figures but l’ll let you discover them for yourselves.

Due to be released in OCTOBER 2026.
