Found this one too. Expensive but seemingly very high quality.[url=http://www.arquebus.com/trad_90mm/trad_90mm_med.html" target="top]www.arquebus.com/trad_90mm/trad_90mm_med.html[/url] <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p200.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=antoninuslucretius@romanarmytalk>Antoninus Lucretius</A> <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://lucretius.homestead.com/files/Cesar_triste.jpg" BORDER=0> at: 3/1/05 2:26 pm<br></i>

[Quintius Clavus]

The Nero's tower and Caesar's Campaign Tent are pictured with Papo figures-that information was provided once you were in the supplier's site. US dealers include The Toy Soldier Company in New York City, and I believe the Michigan Toy Soldier Co may also carry them. I think the figures themselves are made in China. I am sure there are European dealers for them as well.<br>
As far as the figures with the first tower - I would like to know where to obtain them. Some were from the same Bullyland maker, but not all.<br>

And this lot might not be Roman, but a fraction of the price and good quality:<br>

[Theodosius the Great]

Yep, I have most of those Roman figures. I bought them for about $5 each.<br>

You can always get some of them on Ebay, for example this set of [url=http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=0&item=6159046965&rd=1" target="top]"Elite command"[/url] or [url=http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=0&item=6158560028&rd=1" target="top]this one[/url]. Or this one from [url=http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=0&item=6157324931&rd=1" target="top]Toyway heroics[/url].<br>
<br>
Or, older and with the knowledge of the fifties the hollywood-like Romans from [url=http://search.ebay.de/roem-elastolin_Figuren_W0QQsofocusZbsQQsbrftogZ1QQfromZR10QQsatitleZrQF6m*Q20elastolinQQsacatZ8605QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQsadisZ200QQfltZ9QQfsopZ1QQfsooZ1QQcoactionZcompareQQcopagenumZ1QQcoentrypageZsearch" target="top]Elastolin[/url].<br>

[Niedel]

Quintius, all the figures from the first tower pic are from Bullyland (Germany). They sell them at many toy stores and even at the Limesmuseum in Aalen.<br>
<br>
This wakes fond memories. I still have some old, old Timpo romans in my parents' house in Germany somewhere... <p></p><i></i>

[Robert Vermaat]

Old memories! Sure.. I still have figures from at least two series of plastic figures around, and a ballita with wheels..<br>
I'll take some pictures to share with you. <p>Valete,<br>

I've just found my old toys which I was talking about there. Pictures to be expected in the near future..

In the meantime, has anybody (especiallyin Spain) seen these? They're from Airgamboys, which is the nearest to a Playmobil clone as ever I saw one. They're now advertised by Toys R us in The Netherlands..
The quality of the images is awful hock: , and that's from the manufacturer's website..
This lovely ship:

Ookaaaay. I guess nobody wants to know what's wrong with that ship, do they?

[LUCIUS ALFENUS AVITIANUS]

When i was a little boy (and not an old 74 year female :lol: ) i have had that ship. And nothing matches to the original ones... Roman Airgamboys were very close to the Holliwood depictions.

[Uwe Bahr]

Very nice, they are much more beautiful than the Playmobil Romans. Oh, if I only would have had those toys when I was (maybe I still am) a child, what could I have constructed in combination with Lego stones!
BTW Robert, I still have some of my old toy Romans too, found them on EBay just these days:

[Praefectusclassis]

Oy! That's baiting! :twisted:
