Collector‘s Catalogue
The collector's catalogue contains figures and accessories of the manufacturers Hausser, Lineol, Fröha and many other. For this purpose, the former catalogues and price lists of the manufacturers were evaluated. In addition, important collections were sighted in order to catalog the figurine range of these manufacturers as comprehensively as possible. As far as possible, the figures and accessories were photographed from several sides to give the best possible impression to the collectors. The catalogue already contains 19,900 pictures of figures and accessories and is constantly updated. PREMIUM members are shown the pictures in high resolution and they have an additional zoom function.
Archive
In our archive you will find 295 copies of dealer catalogues, sales catalogues, leaflets, price lists, order lists and many other original documents from former figure manufacturers with a total of 5,317 pages. These are shown to our PREMIUM members in high resolution so that they can browse through the old catalogues as they wish.
In addition, these original sources were linked to the figures and accessories of the collector's catalogue, so that the proof of the former production period can be kept here.

Leagal Notes
The Toy Soldier Gallery is a platform for collectors of figurines of the companies Haußer / Elastolin and Lineol - especially "military and political toys". The website includes a catalog of the known composition figures, background information (wiki) and also an archive that includes several hundred former manufacturer catalogs. As far as figures from the time of 1933 to 1945 are presented, this serves exclusively the historical reappraisal. Under no circumstances should these figures be used to glorify this part of German history.
Pursuant to Section 86a of the German Criminal Code, the use of symbols of unconstitutional organizations is generally prohibited. However, this does not apply if they are used in the context of "civic education, defense against unconstitutional efforts, art or science, research or teaching, reporting on contemporary events or history, or for similar purposes" (§§86 (3) and 86a (3) StGB).
Insofar as Toy Soldier Gallery uses the trademarks of such organizations, this is done exclusively in the context of research and reporting on contemporary events.
Use of the Toy Soldier Gallery website is permitted solely for this purpose.

Lineol Catalog Reprints
The basis for collecting Lineol figures are the sales catalogs of the former manufacturers. But especially early editions before 1939 are rare and therefore expensive. So it is not surprising that there are some very good reprints of these catalogs. This is not a problem as long as these reprints are marked as such when they are sold. The purpose of this article is to describe clear characteristics for some known reprints in order to be able to identify them ...

However, its insufficient armour and armour plating compared to the Soviet tanks ...
