2026 Toy Soldier Show in Friedberg, Germany. Friend Detlef Heerbrand has allowed me to share his photos of the recent Friedberg Toy Soldier Show. I think you will find it interesting.
2026 Toy Soldier Show in Friedberg, Germany Pictures

Friedberg is 19 miles north of Frankfurt.

The tables were nicely spread out.

A different view of the tables. This show is heavy with Elastolin.

A nice Western town made of wooden buildings. I am not sure if it was a store display.

A rock formation only 500 Euros($560.00).

An Elastolin Western Stagecoach with its box. The passengers are to its right—only 400 Euros ($448.00). A mounted Hun is to the left of the stagecoach.

Elastolin Aliens: these figures are rare. I have the one in the back on the right, but it is damaged. The price is like the stagecoach: 400 Euros ($448.00). This one would have been a tough decision for me.

Here we have a wide range of tin vehicles and ships. Some of them may be from the 30’s.

While the majority of the items were Elastolin 70mm. You did have some of the Elastolin Swoppets show up. Here we have some of the 54mm Civil War figures.

There were a number of my German friends there, including Andreas Dittmann. Andreas is on the left. My friends Markus Lecksheid and Peter Bergner were not there as they went to Nanterres for the Eurofigurines Show. Markus has sent me photos of the Eurofigurines Show, and I will be posting them soon.

Another look at the tables.

Some nice displays for your figures. I also like the Roman legionnaires marching.

Amongst the sailors, we have dinosaur model kits.
A collector going through various bins of Timpo figures. Next to Elastolin, Germany is home to Timpo collectors.

Finally, a box of converted figures, mostly U.S. cavalry.
Once again, I would like to thank Detelef for allowing me to share these photos.
