William Britain Toy Soldiers

We love William Britain toy soldiers! They are some of our customers' favorite products in part because they are so well made. The making of a Britain toy soldier is a finely crafted process. These extremely detailed and accurate soldiers come from a strict series of steps for production. An idea for a toy soldier is sketched out with special attention to proportions of the figurines and perspective. Historians and historical books then validate the details of each soldier from their uniform to their hairstyle. Toy soldier visions are brought to life by creating wax figures of the drawings then creating molds from the wax figures. Lead-free pewter is poured into the molds then these metal figurines are hand painted with realistic details. So much attention is paid to the vision and creation of each W. Britain piece that it is no wonder these soldiers are considered some of the finest in the world.
