Del Prado figures and booklets

Del Prado brought military miniatures to collectors through themed publishing collections. Many paired a factory-painted metal figure with an illustrated booklet associated with Osprey. The appeal was the sequence: a succession of regiments, uniforms and periods that gradually built a reference collection.

Sierra Toy Soldier’s Del Prado archive separates Men at War, Napoleon at War and Cavalry of the Napoleonic Wars, alongside medieval, samurai, American Civil War and other subjects. These are distinct collections, not one continuous military numbering system. The archive also describes larger Great Commanders figures, so the Del Prado name alone is not a reliable scale specification.

The booklet belongs in the identification process. It can supply a full subject title and the publishing context that disappears when a figure is sold loose. Conversely, the archive notes that some ranges were offered without booklets. Missing paperwork should be assessed against the particular collection, not an assumption about every Del Prado release.

How to identify a Del Prado figure

1. Copy the base inscription. Record the wording, date and any number exactly. Photograph the underside and the whole model before trying to interpret abbreviations.
2. Match the pose and equipment. A carried helmet, a sabre across the body or a particular horse pose may be more decisive than a broad seller label such as “Napoleonic officer.”
3. Establish the collection and edition. Match the booklet or packaging language where available. Issue order can differ between markets.
4. Compare condition only after identity is clear. Check projecting parts, repairs and repainting against a reference image of the same sculpt.
