Michigan Toy Soldier Company (MichToy) is one of America’s premier specialty retailers for military miniatures, scale models, figure painting, wargaming, and historical hobby products, serving collectors and modelers for more than three decades. Founded in 1990, the company was created by collectors with the goal of providing fellow enthusiasts with exceptional toy soldiers, historical miniatures, figure kits, and specialty products from manufacturers around the world, and it has operated a brick-and-mortar store in the Metro Detroit area since 1992. Today, MichToy offers an enormous selection encompassing plastic and metal military miniatures, historical and fantasy figures, scale model kits, wargaming miniatures, paints, weathering products, brushes, precision tools, sculpting and casting materials, books, reference publications, and scenic and diorama supplies. Its extensive lineup includes products from major international manufacturers as well as smaller independent and specialty brands that can be difficult to find through conventional hobby retailers. More than simply a retailer, Michigan Toy Soldier emphasizes hobby knowledge and education, with a staff of experienced collectors and modelers and extensive online resources covering painting, modeling products, techniques, and new releases. With its distinctive “History Thru Hobbies” philosophy and combination of military history, figure painting, scale modeling, miniature gaming, and collecting, Michigan Toy Soldier has become a respected destination for hobbyists looking for everything from their next model or miniature to the paints, tools, references, and finishing materials needed to bring it to life.
