Blue Box Soldiers Worth a Dollar?

Lee was born in 1807 not 1809. My Bad! My memory is starting to fade!

Ok, "This guy looks like he's in the Glenn Miller Band." made me lol

[@leoncsorba9085]

General Lee looks like how Tom Jones the singer looks now.

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

Lol! Don't say that, Tom might hear you! Lol!

[@johnf3885]

I bet General Lee was a better singer!

[@paulbervid1610]

I think I have a set of those famous Commanders of WWII. It had Patton, Eisenhower and Romnel

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

I remember seeing that at kB Toys years ago

[@johnf3885]

Those Blue Box figures are truly awful The hats are shocking they look like bakery assistants in Sainsbury's. Hang on to them Iggy they might be worth something in years to come!

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

Bakery assistants? Lol? Pretty sad soldiers, right?

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

Lee's father fled the country to avoid debtors prison. He returned and died in Georgia in 1818.

[@MACEWINDULastJedi]

Those figures must be 1/25 or 1/18 ? I feel like if you unwrap them,you can eat the chocolate inside!

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

Lee was born in 1807 not 1809! No wonder he didn't get the card I sent him for his birthday

[@gregf9360]

there ok i would keep them

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

I ended up saving them. I didn't want to be too hasty

[@ronaldmcdonald8303]

What is the name of the alloy used to make metal soldiers? I forgot the name of the alloy they use for these!

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

The figures are diecast and I'm guessing they are tin mixed with another metal (nickel?) I'm afraid I don't know for sure.

[@ronaldmcdonald8303]

​@@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092Ah, ok. Thanks, there is a special alloy they tend to use for metallic soldiers. I quite like these civil war figurines!

[@davidmiller5724]

maybe if there were repainted could make them better

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

Unfortunately I'm not very skillful at painting. My hands shake too much I guess. Sometimes I can pull it off, but it is iffy

[@davidmiller5724]

that would still improve them
