In 1893 William Britain and his son decided to craft a better metal toy soldier. They made it fully round, about 2.25 inches tall, and hollow. Not only was it more economical to make, it did not take long for them to corner the market, pushing out the then dominate German makers. Britain has continued to thrive thanks to a commitment to quality, detail and authenticity. We have remained true to our roots as a toy maker with plastic Super Deetail figures for children, developing tomorrow's collectors today and giving another generation the spark to kindle the imagination. For collectors, we produce matte and gloss finish toy soldiers and historical figures suitable for battlefield dioramas, pristine parade grounds or display cases. Many of the figures are meant to interact together, telling a story and others are simply miniature works of art on their own, but all share a common W. Britain commitment to always be some of the best figures for their time.
