Russian Produced Plastic Figures


I was browsing Ebay and saw several sets of boxed plastic figures, usually five figures each, all from a Russian company that I'm not familiar with. They have some very cool topics like Gladiators, Pirates, Amazons, Napoleonics, Scots, Mongols, ect...


I have no idea if these are solid figures or require assembly. The sculpting looks like it has been done to attract kids, but they are definitly 54mm, and have quite a bit of detail on them. The topics are extremely interesting and unique, and may be worth picking up just to add a bit of variety to the collection. If anyone has any of these, I'd be interested in knowing your opinion.
These are all being sold from Moscow, and as a rule, I rarely purchase from International dealers to avoid shipping complications. If anyone knows a domestic dealer, I'd be appreciative.

Great find Beau! INMO the Varangians, Scythians and Wolf-Hounds look the best. The Scythians look like potential enemies for Conte Spartans.

Toy Soldier Headquarters Inc - under Foreign made then Russian made 1/32, have figures that are similiar to these. Maybe contact them? If you do find a U.S. dealer please post it. Thanks.

They seem to be excellent sculpts with the exception of the goofy stance on the legs and large feet (due to no bases) Also all the heads are facing front even the archers. The rifles lack detail. Maybe on the Varangians they can be cut at the legs and Conte Viking legs and bases converted on? I would buy several sets but would also prefer an American dealer to buy from.
