COLLECTABLE TOY SOLDIERS RE-ISSUED BRITAIN'S DEETAIL FIGURES From D.S.G ARGENTINA. D.S.G ARGENTINA In the 1980's some of the Deetail Mouldings were shipped to Argentina. There they were owned by the Crovetto family who produced the British 8th Army, Afrika Korps, French Foreign Legion, Arabs & Mexicans as well as the 7th Cavalry figures (previously made in Hong Kong) on plastic bases. All of the colours used were a direct copy of their English (& HK) forbears & they maintained the tradition of only 4 colours per figure. In the case of the 8th Army & the Afrika Korps some texturing of the moulds had taken place. The most obvious change was the introduction of plastic as opposed to mazak bases. These figures were produced under the banner of Britains Herald and were unique to Argentina. The Crovetto family have since passed the moulds onto Enrique De Saint George, himself an energetic and enthusiastic Toy Soldier Collector. His company is called DSG Plastic Toy Soldiers (DSG). Enrique has started producing these Deetail Figures once again. The startling quality of these figures may well have influenced the decision by Racing Champions to withdraw the license allowing Toy Way to produce their other well known Deetail figures. The painting of the DSG figures is closely supervised by Enrique and he takes great pride in producing the masters for his artists to copy. The paint used is the same as the paint that Britains applied to their original Deetail Range. Britains Deetail limited their use of colours to around 3 or 4 per figure. DSG has no such limitations and in addition, Enrique has also used different coloured plastics to get the maximum use of these moulds. Where else could you buy factory painted Deetail British Infantry representing the Burma campaign or WWII German Mountain Troops?! The painter's attention to Deetail is breathtaking and, some say, superior to the originals. Finally the low cost of these figures compared to their original cousin's means we can all get our hands on some of the finest figures ever made for the Toy Soldier enthusiast without having to break the bank.
