Soldiers Of The World - Mexicans

November2012
Reviews of new metal figures to arrive in the hobby by Andy Whittaker


Soldiers of the World is a brand name many will recognise, but may not know why. It’s actually a partnership between New Zealand based toy soldier make Regal, or rather Regal’s owner Allan Farley and US based retailer Stockade Miniatures (and unless I’m mistaken prior to Stockade used to be produced and sold through retailer The Toy Soldier Gallery, sadly no longer in operation).

There are literally thousands of figures in the SOTW range and Allan is constantly adding to them to meet demand from collectors in both New Zealand, the USA and all over the world. The latest additions are to ‘The Alamo and Texan War of Independence’ range and are three new Mexican sets.

AMX1 ‘Fusileros Attacking’ features a General and two privates attacking with bayonets, AMX2 ‘Fusileros Attacking’ contains three privates attacking with bayonets and rifle butts whilst AMX3 ‘Fusileros Marching’ has a General and two privates marching into action.

SOTW figures are well sculpted and painted, although they are very traditional including rosy cheeks and little pin dot eyes. Personally I really like these figures, although I’m a big matt figure fan I still love seeing people making the more traditional style figures as it reminds us all where this hobby began, and I hope companies like SOTW continue to produce high quality traditional gloss figures.

At $85 (New Zealand) or about £43 per set they figures work out to be around £14.50 each so very good value for money considering the quality.

If you’re a fan of traditional figures and have yet to check out SOTW then I suggest you get in contact with them to learn about the literally thousands of different figures they have available.
