August 2026 Gettysburg Show More I am just a few days from my final show of the summer. Also, we have various pieces of news that you may find interesting. So let’s get started.
August 2026 Gettysburg Show: a Fun Show
While some people think the second show of the Gettysburg Toy Soldier Show is not important. They would be wrong. I have found that the second show of the year is just as important. There are some different dealers plus some regulars. One of the regulars is Warhorse Miniatures. Mike will have some new items, which I have shown in a previous post. I will be helping Mike this time, as Carolyn is unable to attend as she is dealing with a health issue. I am happy to help out. Hope to see you there.
Wyatt Earp
I was scanning past the Paul Knapp show, and they brought up the Marx Wyatt Earp figure. They said that he was not done in black. I immediately emailed the show that I knew someone who had it in black, me. He, along with the other figures you see in the photo above, came from the Marx auction. Yes, the Wyatt Earp in true gray, not Landfield gray. You can read the whole story from 2012 here.
The Plastic General.
Staying with Paul Knapp, in his latest show with Christian Aldo, the Plastic General, Christian announced figures that may excite you. He had found a person who can do figures similar to Plastic Platoon. You can find out more about this project at 25 minutes into the show. Here is the link.
August 2026 Gettysburg Show Toy Central Army
I recieved photos from Luciano Castellani of Toy Soldier Central of Central Army Force.
The set contains 14 poses. We hope tp have more details soon.
Oh wow, Luciano really doesn’t know when to quit, does he? lol
I’ve got a Wyatt Earp in black plastic Paul, I think you gave it to me.
I was given a Wyatt Earp figure in black plastic years ago, it is authentic. It’s a very detailed figure but hard to see the details because of the dark color plastic. My friend Les gave it to me and I think he may have gotten it from Bill Hanlon. That would have been probably 40 years ago? Like cousin Al says “ Time flies like an arrow but fruit flies like a banana”.
