Atlantic 1/32 Scale Vintage Plastic Toy Soldiers WW2 British Infantry

Britts from Italy. Atlantic was a 1970´s company that did a wide variety of toy soldiers and figures. Often a bit weird poses but super charming and fun figures non the less.

I don't remember ever seeing the Atlantic figures. I can remember ads showing up in UK comics in the 70's but do not remember these figures at all. Some very unusual ones.

Hi there. Great videos ! And, yes, you are right about the Maracas and the Banjo !

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

[@beendoneagain]

Thank God I never got these when i wrote soldiers on my Christmas list!

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

Me to 😂

[@johnbarnes6832]

Watching these videos inspired me to purchase a box of the Italian Bersaglieri, complete with motorcycle.

[@mimmopolichetti2057]

The Italian Bersaglieri from Atlantic are a nice Set .

I'm in Vancouver, Canada, and though I don't remember seeing the Atlantic 1/32 scale figures in the local hobby & toy shops, I did see their 1/72 scale offerings, and for one Christmas in the late 70's - early 80's, I was given a wargame set of Atlantic Germans vs British. I'm not sure now if it was supposed to be D-Day or some other battle in Europe. The figures came in the exact same poses and hand problems as the 1/32 sets. After 40 years you solved the mystery for me that the figure walking with his empty arms up was supposed to be carrying the seated figure. Thanks! The set also came with a treaded German tractor and a four barrelled AA gun on wheels. The tractor was a 1/35 scale Kettenkrad with a round hole with a hatch cover where the 1/72 driver could be seated. My main collection of toy soldiers is made up of 1/32 Airfix, Britains Herald & Deetail , Timpo, and Crescent figures.

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

Only took me 15 years to solve the mystery lol

[@manuelmaggioli9077]

In my opinion, the best set Atlantic 1.32 is "the German Grenadiers" . The German sidecar is the top veicle... Nice vlog.

I used to have the HO scale set of these and by far the most interesting part of it was the historical text on the back of the box, missing from the 1/32 set. The Italian to English translation was unintentionally funny. I've found a picture of it on the internet and I share it in all its bad glory...all original spelling mistakes are replicated:
"The were born in 1685 early they became the backbone of the British Royal Army and emploied for all the fronts of the vast British Empire. In Africa, India, America, Australia and New Zealand. They were everywhere for the king. In 1915/18 they became very famous fighting with French army on the river and during 2rd World War they fighted the germans and japaneses. In Greece, in France, in Africa, in Normandy they were everytime on the first line.
In Malasia, in Birmania and in New Zealand they fighted very courageously against the overflowing Japonese Army until the victory.
They were very important also in Corea 1950/55 and today, unfortunately, the fighted in Ireland."

Vintage and superb...many souvenirs!

The soldier is holding a normal SMLE. You may be thinking of the No.4 rifle.

Awesome 🥰

I love atlantic tutta la mia infanzia

[@CarlosOliveira-nx6rv]

Esses capacetes dos soldados britânicos da Segunda Guerra Mundial parecem bacias de barbeiro. Sempre fui apaixonado por colecionar essas figuras de soldados de plástico; infelizmente, aqui no Brasil, atualmente, só há disponíveis figuras de má qualidade fabricadas na China. O que salva é importar através do eBay dos EUA para cá. Saudações a todos os colecionadores daí, dos EUA e Canadá. ✌️😉🇧🇷

[@eltenda]

My beloved Atlantic! With all l theyr issues

[@szymonziolkowski5967]

Rare indeed. :P

[@alexdrennan7654]

Actually now airfix use some of the atlantic poses in their version on british infantry

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

Ok not sure what you mean. Airfix did their British Infantry set in 1980-81 and are using the same poses in the sets released today.
I don`t see any of the Atlantic figures in that set.

[@user-jc7nj1zk5b]

Фигурки неказистые. Однако композиция со спасением раненого очень здорово сделана.

[@glennb1679]

Never knew these existed. Are the poses the result of some sort of substance abuse?

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

To much wine with the pasta maybe.

[@mimmopolichetti2057]

Please tell me about.
Is the surface of the Carton Matt or more Gloss ?

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

[@robmiah4501]

Some very weird poses for plastic toy soldiers moulder must have been taking drug or alcohol whilst designing the figure's rifleman was only good figure in set

[@ThomasMuller-br2rs]

Atlantic was Garbage.

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

I wouldn´t call them garbage. Maybe aesthetically challenged toy soldiers.

[@Rhubba]

@@toysoldiernostalgia The figures weren't very good but the vehicles were a lot better. I had the Schwimwagen, M-41 Walker Bulldog and the 6 barrel Ontos tank destroyer and they were much better quality.

[@jasonsabourin2275]

Some of the poses made by these figures would make sense in "Today's" U.S. Armed Forces. 🧚‍♂️🦹👯👜🤨🤔🤭
