    Hi, I just found your channel and I love it! I can't believe this seems to be the only such channel and I hope you become very successful. I am in England and was born in 1970 so these things have a huge amount of nostalgia attached. I mainly had Matchbox and Airfix but on holiday once in France in about 1982 I found a shop selling Atlantic soldiers (the smaller scale) and I bought lots of them. Keep up the good work!

    • @toysoldiernostalgia
      @toysoldiernostalgia  Год назад

      That`s one of the reasons I started this channel. There`s so few channels, if any, that have a lot of old toy soldiers.

    Some of the things Atlantic made were rather odd - their historical 1/87 sets had topless women in them, for example, one of their Western sets (which I loved, having seen 'A Fistful Of Dollars' on the TV, as a kid), featured a hanging - possibly due to a lynching, and beautifully sculpted, even in 1/87 scale. Oddest of all, and I wish I had one now, was the 1/87 'Armoured Command Car', which was a totally unlicenced rework of a 'SHADO Mobile' vehicle, from the 1970 TV show, 'UFO'.

    • @toysoldiernostalgia
      @toysoldiernostalgia  Год назад +1

      Yeah that hanging figure is very expensive in 1/32. They guy I bought this from is writing a book on Atlantic and is also reproducing some Atlantic sets. The Wild West ones should some of them.

    Awesome haul! Must have cost a small fortune!!! I just purchased my first set of Atlantic figures, coming from the U.K to U.S.... I got the frogmen. I met a fantastic fellow from the UK whom is an incredible authority on all things Atlantic. Some of the sci fi stuff is incredible, their Galaxy series is brilliant, but they go for a lot of money on the secondary market.

    • @toysoldiernostalgia
      @toysoldiernostalgia  Год назад +2

      I paid 800 euros for the lot. The frogmen are a cool set and no one produced anything like it back in the 70`s. That one thing I like with Atlantic. That they did sets with very different themes drom all the other companys.

    i just bought a mixed lot of toy soldiers that happened to include 7 of the 10 atlantic german infantry poses in dark blue plastic including the loose machine gun...i don't think they are copies, unless they are very good ones in good quality soft plastic....i don't know if they ever were copied in the same scale...funny how the belt suspenders stop at the breast pockets as if they go under them instead of over...

    That's lots of very nice vehicles and weaponry by Atlantic. I can't remember much of those in 1970s. I did miss many wonderful toys back then and now. Can't have everything as the saying goes. The cost of these now is very high depending on where you are and currency. For AU dollar it's super expensive. Of all the times I've purchased from US to Australia like recently bought a WWII Navy US bomber at the cost of AU$254.00 + then I started to worry what have I done!! Occasionally if it's something I really want I go head first without any care at that split second decision. I think I have a spending and collecting problem. I am a hourder of my hobby.☹️😣👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️

    Christmas day again with all those boxes to open... I never liked the Atlantic figures very much, as I didnt feel they were very realistic, and maybe they werent even for sale here in Sweden? I remember I once looked at them when I travelled abroad.
    You must soon rent a storage I think, for all your figures, or dump your wife....

    • @toysoldiernostalgia

      No wife and a big apartement solves the problem.
      I had two sets of Atlantic 1/72 as a kid that a friend that was italian bought for me when he went there for the summer.
      I was kinda disapointed when I got them but used them a lot when playing with soldiers.
      I don´t think they were ever available here in Sweden.

    At least your having fun opening those boxes with lots of classic toy soldiers. I'm collecting model Aircraft but it seems like climbing a mountain when I open the boxes and stare at all the parts and the time and effort it's going to take building them. It's a drag. And you have to have the patience and motivation to work on something that I'm slowly running out of as time passes I'm not getting younger. I'm running out of space quick. I should have stuck to toy soldiers myself. Seem easier to store than models that break easily especially the delicate parts. I d like to send pictures but I've never done that on RUclips so far. Not too familiar with the workings at this time. Have fun as always.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️
