Redcoats

History of the British Army

The Redcoat collection traces the history of the British Army from the restoration of Charles II in 1660 up to the present day. Guards, foot, cavalry and artillery regiments will be covered in this series. The Collection started with figures representing the Guards Regiments over the last 346 years.

The ever popular Redcoats series continues in 2009 with the addition of a new series of four piece boxed sets as well as sentry boxes to use with the many infantry figures that have been made over the last three years. Highlanders, Napoleonic infantry and a new cavalry piece round out this latest offering. These figures are reminiscent in size, look and feel to the original W. Britain toy soldiers of the early 20th century. They are a toy soldier’s toy soldier!
