TOY SOLDIER HQ INC - HOW TO ORDER
Atlantic was an Italian firm that came into business about 1970 and went out of business about 1986. They made both 1/72 (or there about) "HO" and 1/32 54-60mm plastic polyethylene figures. Some window box painted versions exist but most figures were sold unpainted in sets. Five basic categories of figures were made; ancient, USA Western, WWII, Modern military, and space fantasy. The ancient figures and accessories are considered to be among the best ever produced, and the US western series was the most complex made by any manufacturer. Some of the figure sculpting is a little off, but these figures are avidly being sought after throughout the world. Most (if not all) of the 1/32 and a good portion of the 1/72 molds are now in Iraq. The factory was damaged in Desert Storm, but most of the molds are probably still operable. However as there is a trade embargo on Iraq we may never see some of the molds working again. The good news is that 30-40 of the 1/72 figure molds are still in Italy owned by a company by the name of Niagara. Niagara has licensed the molds to be run by Nexus and Waterloo 1815 two companies who fell out of favor with each other and are now competing with each other.
SEE THE 1/32 SCALE ATLANTIC SALES PAGE FOR MANY PHOTOS. THE FIGURES ARE THE SAME AS THE 1/72 POSES, AND MANY OF THE PICTURES AT THE 1/32 PAGE ARE OF 1/72 FIGURES.
