Tradition… The Old Toy Soldier Journal has been at the heart and soul of the soldier collecting world. It has proudly been in continuous publication since 1976. Since its inception, the indexed journal has published around 1000 in-depth articles relating to toy soldiers. Each quarterly issue is packed with new and informative articles.
We are now focussing on our online presence but will continue to publish material in magazine format, continuing in the footsteps of our founding fathers back in 1976. Now in 2026 we are celebrating our 50th Anniversary.
We cover virtually all aspects of old toy soldier hobby. Every issue is filled with useful and instructive information on toy soldiers of all types – Britains, Dimestores, French and German lead and composition, plastic, as well as current production toy soldiers. You will also receive the latest auction reports, show information, book reviews and, of course, see the latest offerings from our advertisers.
