There are a great many materials that have been used to make toy soldiers over the years , but we specialize in plastic and metal. We say 'metal' rather than 'lead' because, since 1966, lead has been banned from use in toys. The metal, often tin, used in soldiers since then is considered non-toxic. Nevertheless, METAL TOY SOLDIERS MAY NOT BE SOLD TO CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 14. Metal figures are generally more expensive per figure and more fragile. They are suited to display. Plastic figures, whether painted or unpainted, are considerably cheaper and generally more rugged. The quality of plastic varies depending on the manufacturer and the vintage of the figure. Hard plastic, which allows the collector to glue together his models in a variety of poses, is more brittle than soft plastic. Most of our figures are cast in soft plastic, which is by far the first choice of collectors. Unless otherwise mentioned, all figures we describe as plastic are soft plastic.

Pool Party - combat around the swimming pool. And IN the swimming pool - since when do toy soldiers need to breathe? Because these toys do not cost much, they are virtually disposable.

The first American plastic toy soldiers were made by Bergen Toy & Novelty Co. (Beton for short) in 1938. [1] Beton also acquired the molds of another pre-war plastic figure company, Universal Plastics [2] with their figures remaining for sale when lead toy production was stopped in 1942. The Beton figures were painted like metal figures and sold the same as their metal brethren; individually or in a boxed set of around seven figures. Following World War II, Beton modified their figures in an attempt to change the World War I type helmet into the World War II one. AUTOMATIC RIFLE: 7.62 Machine Gun for the Machine Gunner role.
