Title: Toy Soldiers on XBox Arcade
Post by: plasticaddict on January 18, 2011, 04:41:56 PM

I love the look of the Toy Soldiers WWI game - from the XBox Live Arcade.
Which company makes figures that come close to this look?
Any 20mm plastics?

I'd never heard of this game before. Thanks for the heads up.

There are plenty of ww1 20mm plastics available. There are a decent number of reviews on this site:

They can vary in quality considerably so this site helps in allowing you to see before you buy. I've heard very good things about Zvezda's new ww1 German and Russians (I'm assuming there are Russians in the game from the Tsar Tank in the video). They are meant to be little larger than other 1/72s but they look bloody good. Pegasus Hobbies have just done some ww1 French that also look top notch but I'm not sure if they are on general release yet.

Nothing to add, just wanted to say I love that "box art", but I'm a sucker for anything in that sort of poster style!
