Markus Leckshied December Treasures Great Items, my friend Markus sent me items he had for me and what he picked up at the German Plastic Show. Also, I have two conversion figures I picked up from Germany’s Ebay.
Markus sent me a wide variety of figures to add to my collection ranging from old to new. One of the new items was the Kit Soldiers Indian Wars. The set contains a pioneer and Indian in 60mm. I Am very impressed by the quality of the figures.
Markus sent one of Kit Soldiers’ ancient Russian Warriors. The set contains 8 different poses well detailed and in great soft plastic.
The ancient figures are available in the States from Hobby Bunker and MicShaun’s Closet. The price is very reasonable $25.00 for eight figures.
Two interesting figures First the cowboy with the money bag and a pipe. The native woman with a pot on her head.
Here is one of the Dragon Riders I showcased several months ago. I have not gotten a chance to see if it is one of the figures we have or a new pose.
New to me are these 45mm pirates. No idea who made them.
Two different Atlantic figures which I might have.
Markus and I have been trading 3D figures. I get him Warhorse Miniatures and he gets me Speira Miniatures. here we have three dangerous women. I like the woman with her right foot on the box.
He sent four different Civil War sailors A nice variety of poses.
The final two figures are a chef and a man in a rocking chair with a rifle or shotgun. The chef can be used in so many different periods and even as a comic book villain. The man in the rocking chair is missing one of legs. A notorious problem with Speria.
Markus Leckshied December Treasures Two More
Two more figures from Markus, the first is a Dom Robin Hood figure. Markus was kind enough to look for some of the Medieval figures and a knife thrower from the circus series for a friend. My friend had the above figure so I have kept it.
Finally, we have these three seated people. I wonder where they were used.
Conversion Figures
One of the photos from the German Plastic Show showed a table of conversions. I know if I had been there I would have bought from the party. Going through Ebay Germany I turned him and bought these two figures.
I like the sheriff sitting with his weapons out.
The other figure is pouring a drink which you do not have too many of. The figures were not cheap I believe I have $100.00 into the two with shipping, but I can dollar cost average with other purchases I made this year.
About the knights I post a link here no long ago with other some other.
It’s belong to fantasy blog.

I have about 8 of the Speira Civil War Naval figures. They are very nice and long overdue.
There are some great figures here. Speira has had my attention for sometime now. Kit figures are definitely a company to watch. Some really great sculpts; the frontiersman and Indian have definitely caught my eye. Is there any news on whether they are/or will be part of a larger set? I will keep an eye out for them.
The two figures were releases no long ago ,is rare they release two as in contradictions to previous sets made of 8 poses each and all base in Ukrenia history .
But not first time ,they release a pair of pirates as well with out any follow up set early when started too .
These two were released along and as last .
Because of ongoing war the maker take very long to release any new .He post some times in FB page his sets updates.
Aleks Kot. He is on Facebook.
He start producing figures in 2021 but the war had affected his progress.
See their pirates here .

The Kit Soldiers you can also get them from Steve Weston of plastic soldiers in the UK.
Thanks for the info guys. I found a set on Ebay; was disappointed that there weren’t more to the set, but still some great sculpts. With things the way they are in Ukraine right now I am amazed anything is able to be produced.
Yes I’m surprised too but as time pass I noticed a slowing down in amount set.
Mars from Ukrenia was producing far more sets per year,unfortunately he had slow down,the war definitely had affected him .His set had increased generally in quality .
Incredible enough,direct shipping from Ukrenia is stillnot bad ,I got two separated sets resently that took a bit over two weeks to arrive here using ebay from both sellers directly.
The Civil War Sailors are AWESOME! Are they available anywhere?
Speira Miniatures. They do a good job, they are from Sweden. I had mine done in 1/30 scale and they fit right in with Marx.
Thanks, Tom!
Great cowboy conversions , the civil war sailors are My favorite !
Don’t forget the great figures being made and shipping well from Ukraine…. ElastoWit .
