Operation ToyBox proudly showcases the incredible craftsmanship of King & Country. Known worldwide for their hand-painted 1:30 scale toy soldiers and military miniatures, King & Country brings history to life with historically accurate figures, vehicles, and dioramas — from Ancient Egypt to World War II and beyond. These masterpieces are created by King & Country and celebrated here for collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
VN004 depicts a US Marine firing an M16 from the shoulder. He wears a covered steel helmet, flak jacket and field equipment, with his feet spread and upper body turned into the shot. The exposed arms and loaded vest give the pose the close, crowded appearance characteristic of King & Country’s early Vietnam Marines.
FW188 equips an open Ford Model T with a Vickers machine gun, a seated gunner and a driver. King & Country’s contents description also identifies the folded gun tripod and the driver’s Lee-Enfield rifle in the rear. The vehicle remains recognizably a light car, with its occupants and equipment exposed.
FW173 depicts a nursing sister in grey and white with a short red cape. She stands holding a small white vessel, without a patient or hospital furniture. The uniform is the central identifying feature and provides a striking contrast to the khaki and field-grey figures around her in the FW range.
A short British soldier escorts a taller German prisoner in FW168. The Briton has a bandaged arm, while the captive’s open coat and subdued posture contrast with his escort’s determined stance. The difference in height is intentional and supplies the meaning behind the title.
FW146 models the French Renault FT with a short gun, compact turret and prominent rear tail. Irregular camouflage patches break up the riveted hull. The tracks extend around a relatively small fighting compartment, giving the vehicle a very different shape from the British rhomboid tanks of the same war.
FW134 depicts a German bugler sounding his instrument while carrying infantry equipment. Pale drill clothing contrasts with dark boots and a spiked helmet, and the raised bugle projects from the face. The pack and slung weapon make him a soldier with a signaling role rather than a concert musician.
Werner Voss appears standing in uniform and tall boots, with one hand at his hip. FW106 is an individual portrait figure: neither his aircraft nor another pilot is included. Compared with FW103’s Boelcke in flying leathers, the uniformed presentation is notably restrained.
FW103 portrays Oswald Boelcke in a dark leather flying coat with a bottle in his hand. The open coat, scarf and tall boots make this a relaxed ground portrait rather than a pilot seated at the controls. The bottle is part of the sculpt’s celebratory character.
A German mechanic cups one hand to his mouth while carrying a toolbox in the other. His cap, grey-green jacket and work trousers give him a practical appearance. FW101 belongs to the airfield support group and includes no aircraft or separate engine.
FW100 shows a German serviceman kneeling beside a field telephone, with the receiver held to his ear. The box, cable and his listening pose form a small, self-contained scene. King & Country presented him among its German airfield support figures rather than as an airborne radio operator.
