Shows Reports New Jersey Show
I decided to do the New Jersey Toy Soldier show as I had not been in the area in a few years. I got to the show just before it opened and got right in. The show was mostly metal.
Most of the plastic at the show was Britains Deetail though I did see Timpo. One dealer had a big selection of Beton with some tin litho Marx. I did get some foreign figures and Marx reissues from Matt Murphy of Hobby Bunker. After a few trips around I headed home to avoid possible bad weather.
Midwest Toy Soldier Show 2025
Mike sent me photos of the Midwest Show. Here is the list of the people who set up before the show.
John Anderson had a nice selection of items for sale including this Marx gas station.
John had a nice selection of boxes and loose figures.
Joe Baker had a nice selection of figures including this foam castel.
Joe had a nice selection of Speira Miniatures the 3D company from Sweden. These figures really add to your scenes.
Speira does a wide range of figures. I like the Sabertooth Tiger attacking the hunter. The Western Miners would go well with the Marx mine front.
The surprise of the show was the Ideal Batman Playset that Rick Eber had. This set is highly prized by collectors and in demand. This is one the most expensive playset on the collector’s market. Rick had sold the playset to a customer who picked it up at the show.
I will have more photo from the show in future posts.
With 3D printing it’s possible to print hollow figures to save on resin but if the layers are too thin it makes a very fragile figure. Also liquid resin may remain inside the figure if a small drain opening is not designed into the figure.
I’m curious to know if the Swedish figures are solid rein?
Solid resin.
I have a number of them and they are great.
