Other 1/32 or 54mm painted figure companies out there?

Post by grunt1 » Sun Mar 01, 2009 7:22 pm

With 21C drying up, I was curious about what other companies were out there making pre-painted 1/32 or 54mm figures? Also, are there any good places with great prices on 54mm stuff?

Pre-painted Figures

Post by PanzerArm » Sun Mar 01, 2009 7:34 pm

I know TSSD has their own custom painted plastic Conte troops. Conte is bigger than 21st Century, but they have some pretty good pieces, like the paratoopers. And a company called Frontline has some pretty decent prices for their metal figures, I guess when compared to King and Country and Britains. That's all I can think of as far as pre-painted goes.

Corgi makes some pretty nice prepainted metal figures. They can be a bit pricey but I've occasionally seen them at Tuesday Morning stores for about $4 each.

Yeah, I got a few of those Corgi's at Tuesday's. They're nice.

I think sometimes you get them included as ground crew with some aircraft.

Try this site.

They carry around 70-80 different brands of metal and plastic 1/32 figures. Not all are WWII, but I'm sure there are some there that you have never heard of. Down side is, they ain't exactly got good prices.

I noticed Easy Model makes some pre-painted 1/35 scale figures you can pick up inexpensively from Squadron. I know, I know, they are not 1/32...

Internet venders that are great to deal with that sell a large variety of 54mm metal soldiers,WWI, WWII, Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, Civil War, etc., are Michigan Toy Soldiers, Hobby Bunker, Minutemen Toy Soldiers, and Treefrog. These venders run sales where you can purchase otherwise pricey soldiers for a reasonable price. I also suggest you search your area for toy soldier shops and small internet venders. Last but not least try to attend toy soldier shows in your area. At these shows you are assured to meet any one of these types of venders. Don't discount toy shows, flea markets, military shows, etc.

Have you tried your hand at painting plastics? You can increase the size of your forces dramatically because of the variety that exists in plastics...
