LUXURY MINIATURES

What are luxury toy soldiers?

Luxury miniatures models are crafted by the Crème de la crème of plastic toy soldier companies.
The designation of being a luxury miniature brand is an accolade reserved for toy soldier companies that consistently provide outstanding molds and figures, and are typically pricier as a consequence. The elevated price range is always accompanied by exemplary detailing on the figures, and an almost flawless sculpt devoid of any imperfections. They are the best toy soldiers on the market.

What are the qualities of luxury plastic army men?

The most obvious qualities of luxury plastic army men is the exceptional craftsmanship, elite level of detail, and dynamic poses that come with every box and package of army men. Every miniature is designed with about as much detail as you’d expect to see on an actual soldier in real life. Every bootstrap, every magazine strap, every battle scar is all highlighted on luxury figures.

Another quality that all luxury figures share, is that the faces of the toy soldiers are always crafted immaculately. If you’ve ever seen dollar store toy soldiers, then you know their faces are usually flat plastic mush. Luxury miniatures do the exact opposite, and instead give your toy soldiers enough detail in the face to make them appear almost like sculptures. Some luxury toy soldier brands even come with pre-painted toy soldiers.

Furthermore, luxury toy soldiers often wind up looking like actual sculptures when painted by the hands of a true toy soldier artisan, achieving a life-like status that would be impossible with a lower quality level of toy soldiers.

Sometimes, luxury toy soldiers are even defined merely by their brand name, which have become synonymous with “luxury quality miniatures.” Here’s an easy to understand metaphor: luxury miniatures are the Maserati’s, Ferraris, McLarens, and Lamborghinis of the toy soldier world.

This metaphor also proves true regarding the durability of luxury toy soldiers. They are quite fragile, and more prone to snapping or breaking. Although they are made of plastic, and still are resistant to damage, luxury army men should be treated as collectors items first, toy soldiers second.

Pristine artistry and handiwork goes into producing every luxury miniature model. This results in the prices of these brands far exceeding the costs of other, lesser quality plastic army men. Often, 8 to 12 luxury toy soldiers will be the same price as 20 premium soldiers, or 100 generic soldiers, or even 200 knock off soldiers. However, that price point is justified by the beauty each luxury toy soldier brings, making luxury toy soldier brands the best toy soldier brands you’d ever own.

What are examples of Luxury Toy Soldier Brands?

Toy soldiers from “Forces Of Valor” (aka Unimax) are some of the best toy soldiers in existence, and an example of a luxury miniature toy soldier brand, meeting the criteria stated above, and going a step further by pre-painting their toy soldiers. Those soldiers are always painted at a remarkable skill level.  Their molding is dynamic – always mistake free. They also produce vehicles of the same scale.

Additionally, most luxury toy soldier brands never come with any additional accessories (which is a quality traditionally reserved for generic toy soldier brands), but Forces Of Valor defies that standard by providing their buyers with extraordinary pieces of terrain, debris,  and other accessories that allow for instant diorama creation.

“Plastic Platoon” has also established themselves as a pioneer in the toy soldier industry by setting new standards of excellence. Their meticulous attention to detail and commitment to quality have earned them a well-deserved reputation among plastic army men collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. Each miniature toy soldier is crafted with precision, capturing intricate features and accurate historical uniforms.

Each figure sports lifelike facial expressions and intricately sculpted weapons, clothing, armor – every aspect of their figures reflects the company’s dedication to quality and authenticity. With their exceptional craftsmanship, “Plastic Platoon” creates immersive and outstanding figures for army men hobbyists and history enthusiasts alike.

Although the miniature toy soldiers of Plastic Platoon do not come pre-painted like Forces Of Valor, their miniatures are some of the most detailed toy soldiers in the world, and truly are something special. They usually come in sets of 6 to 8 soldiers, and each figure has remarkable, almost life like detail. They also offer an extensive range of historical periods and themes, catering to diverse interests. Their constant innovation and ability to capture the essence of historical events makes them a preferred choice among collectors and hobbyists seeking luxury toy soldier figures.

Of course, no list of luxury miniatures would be complete without mentioning “Games Workshop.” This company has revolutionized the world of toy soldiers with their iconic Warhammer 40,000 universe. Their commitment to storytelling, immersive gameplay, and exceptional miniature design has captured the hearts and imaginations of countless hobbyists.

Games Workshop first entered into the miniature soldier scene when they purchased two manufacturing companies in the 1970s. After absorbing Citadel and Marauder into their fold, they’ve since made waves in the toy soldier community. Currently, games workshop continues to employ Citadel as their label when producing paints and other army men hobby related tools.

Each Warhammer miniature is meticulously crafted, boasting incredible detail and dynamic poses that bring the fantastical characters and creatures to life. The company’s rich lore and engaging gameplay systems have created a vibrant community of enthusiasts who eagerly delve into the Warhammer world.

Games Workshop is most known for their Warhammer 40,000 line of miniature toy soldiers, which features space marines from the far future fighting legions of alien hostiles. Their figures and vehicles are top of the line, and their commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of their miniatures, from the intricately sculpted characters to the finely textured armor and weaponry.

Games Workshop miniatures also always arrive on plastic sprue sheets, which allows for endless customization options. You can assemble and paint your Warhammer toy soldiers in any way you want.
