Pretty cool figures. Always like to see the oldies but goodies. |

They look great! Dear Kriegspieler were the first metal war gaming figures I ever had. My parents took me to a toy soldier show in Washington D.C. when I was about 8 or 9 where I discovered these figures. Subsequently, they took me to a grand old hobby shop in Laurel, Maryland that sold some of these figures. Alas, at that tender age I lacked the skill and knowledge to transform raw enthusiasm into nicely painted figures. That came a bit later. |

Okay I took a look and my first reaction was: that's one hell of a chorus line. What a wonky pose. But they have a very definite charm – I can see why you still like them! |

Some of my first figures were Der Kriegspielers too, Thanks for the memories! |

Love the old school style. You quite often find they stand the test of time against some modern sculpts. Also sometimes not! |

Very cool! I have those same figs. Still like em! My Brits are all painted up except for my Highlanders and some Cav. |

I had one or two – never could afford lead figures. Still can't! But they were the hottest thing going – the ONLY thing going! |

Crispy, I see what you're saying. They do have a bit of a Busby Berkeley quality! Cheers guys WM |
