Preferably in metal and preferably classic toys. It would also help if they were still in production. They dont have to be armed or menacing but they have to have the air of toys about them. Also, some of their Shadowforge specials have wrapped gifts that could adorn a toy room. I know some of Eureka's Pax Limpopo range is useful as well as their Toyland range. Some of these have potential too: link Some of these are useful too but I wanted to know if there were any toy-like minis I was overlooking? link I prefer 28mm or larger but others might like smaller scales. |

Paint "regular" minis with gloss paint. |

Not sure what happened or who has the 28mm Teddy Bear Soldiers that Eureka used to sell. These Sci-Fi Teddy Bears scream Ewok to me: auction |

Wyrd's Malifaux range has a few, though they're mostly on the menacing side of things.
Off the top of my head, there's Collodi and his puppet crew, Teddy who is a giant stuffed bear, and Stitched Together, which are tiny Oogie Boogies. Malifaux minis are all plastic nowadays, but all of those listed used to be made in metal if you can find them. They also make the board game Puppet Wars, which has a bunch of miniatures of puppet versions of Malifaux characters. |

Paint very small like 6mm Napoleonic or Wild West or British Colonial figures in gloss colors so they look like toy soldiers. In July I am doing a series of posts on making "toy" soldier type figures, particularly horses. Mike Bunkermeister Creek

I think the whole range of PlayMobile figures are miniatures that look like toys. I think they are toys. They are toys that can be used as wargame miniatures.

Sadly the Eureka Teddy Bears are out of production – they were great figs coolminiornot.com/352082 However on the bright side Eureka has their Toy Soldier line that are classic toy soldiers – in shakos, helmets and bearskins plus cavalry and guns link Here are some that I have done up as Chasseurs a Cheval coolminiornot.com/456957 |

I know this may be a dead-thread now, but in case anyone is still looking…. My daughter saw me painting my miniatures, she decided she needed her own. I searched and searched for Eureka Bears but couldn't find any at a price that I would feel good about a 4 year old playing with. Already having a 3D printer and some amateurish skills, I decided to make my own. The process is shown at compactwargaming.blogspot.com. I am not set-up to do mass production of these, but could probably handle a few orders at a time. |
