Southeastern Toy Soldier Show
August 8, 2009
Exquisitely detailed military miniature figures or the little plastic G.I. Joes from your childhood, they’re all here at the Southeastern Toy Soldier Show. See, buy, or trade toy soldiers or other military miniatures from various periods of history and enjoy special museum programs presented during the day.
From old to new, metal to plastic, an array of toy soldiers and military collectibles can be bought, traded, or admired at the South Carolina State Museum’s Southeastern Toy Soldier Show on Saturday, Aug. 8.
More than 30 exhibitors from across the South will display their collections of toy soldiers, or “military miniatures,” in this annual presentation. According to Director of Education and Programs Meika Samuel, "the toy soldiers represent every period of history as well as a variety of decades. Past shows have included such figures as Hannibal and his elephants, and Russian czars and czarinas."
Soldiers will not be the only items of interest. Miniature tanks, planes, cannons and vehicles, as well as books, will also be available for purchase from exhibitors.
More military miniatures will be on display in the South Carolina Military Miniature Society’s annual diorama
