John Cupman
John was an avid toy figure collector, researcher and author. He concentrated on collecting non military figures, with a particular emphasis on Cowboys and Indians, however it was Britains Cadbury Cococubs that were his special interest. John authored two independently published reference books on the “Cubs” and visited the Cadbury factory in Birmingham UK to get firsthand experience and data for his research.
He was also a regular contributor to Old Toy Soldier magazine, with recently published articles on Hopalong Cassidy and Keymen Footballers.
John’s love of the Chicago Toy Soldier show turned into one of his favourite toy soldier trips, attending and making many toy soldier friends in the U.S.
In a hobby full of nice people, John was top of the list.
John Cupman, 29th September 1955 – 21st March 2025 – RIP.
