Welcome to the October Edition of Sierra Toy Soldier News. This is the pre-Halloween edition, whilst we do not have anything scary apart from the Tariff wars, it is a good time to remind you that Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner. I am sure we have some wonderful releases already available plus with some of the expected releases in November and December Christmas is already looing warm and cozy.
Not much to report on the weather front, it is a typical Fall Day here in the bay area good news is the wildfire seems to have quieted down. But you never can tell, in LA it the time of year when the Santa Ana Winds roar into life and all you need is a spark for hell to break loose.
We are starting to gear up for Christmas, we hope you will join us.
We have some great announcements from King and Country, John Jenkins and War Park.

Occasionally we get a rare opportunity to acquire individual items and complete collections for collectors that are thinning out their collection or from other dealers. These pieces are items that we do not normally stock. All are in mint condition or and in their original boxes, unless specified in the description. Please note these may have been on display.
So these are ideal pages to view if you are looking for that missing piece in your collection or just looking to find some very unique pieces that are not normally available.
This month we have
added a very large collection of Aeroart, St Petersburg figures and also a very large collection of Plastic figures and Play
Sets. We have also added Frontline French and Indian War sets in perfect condition.
Consignment Highlight
This month we feature sets from Thomas Gunn, First Legion, Britain's, Jenkins, King & Country, Frontine, St Petersburg and Plastics.

In this set, he’s obviously on ground duties and meeting a B-17 Pilot who has just landed his bullet-riddled plane after a deadly daylight bombing mission somewhere over Germany in 1943 or ’44.

HRH King George V
Throughout his reign, George V appeared in a great many ceremonial dress uniforms. His favourite however was that of a Royal Navy ‘Admiral of The Fleet’, reflecting his own service in the Navy and his great affection for it.
Ceremonial

Battering Ram
In its simplest form, a ‘battering ram’ is just a large, heavy log carried or pushed by a number of men and propelled with great force against a fixed obstacle such as a wall or a gate strong enough to damage or even break through that obstacle or obstruction. First developed by the legions of Ancient Rome it really came into its own during the medieval period.
Crusader - Cross & Crescent

King Henry VII
Henry Ⅷ (1491-1547) was King of England from 1509 until his death in 1547. To the general public he is best-known for having six wives which in turn led to his dispute with the Pope in Rome and the beginning of the English Reformation which separated the Church of England from papal authority.
Throughout his life, Henry was also a serial womanizer which alas, proved fatal for some of his spouses. In addition he could be egotistical, frequently paranoid and occasionally… tyrannical. This figure is based on several portraits of the King painted in the prime of his life by the painter Hans Holbein, a contemporary of the monarch.

New releases expected
November 2025!
Gladiators
The retiarius gladiator was one of the most recognizable fighters of the ancient Roman Colosseum. The name Retiarius translates in latin as “net fighter”, and this gladiator did indeed fight with a net and a trident. The retiarii was in fact based on the role of the fisherman. In ancient Rome fishing played a large part of daily life, and the retiarius character was something that most common folk could support.

American Revolution - Rhode Island Train of Artillery
The Rhode Island Train of Artillery, also known as the United Train of Artillery, was a significant unit in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. The unit was formed in 1775 and played a crucial role in the early battles of the war. The unit was reorganized and expanded to include additional companies, contributing to the overall strength of the Continental Army.
The unit was involved in various campaigns, including the New York and New Jersey Campaigns, and was instrumental in the Siege of Boston.

WWII - Afrikakorps
In the windswept expanse of the Libyan desert, the arrival of the 15. Panzer-Division (15. Pz.Div.) in the spring of 1941 marked a critical shift in the Axis campaign in North Africa. Created in late 1940 from the experienced 33. Infanterie-Division (Motorized) and bolstered by Panzer-Regiment 8 (Pz.Rgt. 8)—a battle-tested unit from the 10. Panzer-Division—the division quickly became a key armored component of Generalleutnant Erwin Rommel’s Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK).
