The Treefrog Rivet
Toy Soldiers & Military Miniatures Newsletter
  
Spartan Sentry

The start of a new month means a whole new slate of new releases coming up. Stay with us here at the Rivet for all the latest and greatest news in the toy soldier world!

King & Country released their Dispatches and they were chock full of goodies for the collector--and don't forget to review the Retired list in case there's a piece you've been waiting on adding. First Legion sent out a batch of new figures at the end of last week, and this week started off with the new history Works tanks landing on the loading dock. Then yesterday new figures from Thomas Gunn Miniatures arrived. Can us fellas back here in the warehouse ask for more? I submit that we cannot! Take a look at the new stuff below--and don't forget the Consignment section where a pile of hard-to-find figures and sets arrived.

Social Media is a Thing! 
"Take my hand, and I'll lead you down the path to more!"
Many of you already utilize our very own Toy Soldier Forum for the latest news and chatter on multiple Manufacturers as well as general social banter with fellow Toy Soldier Collectors!

But did you know - Treefrog also has a presence on Facebook, Pintrest, Instagram and Twitter!  Not always the same news you already see in this Newsletter or on the Forum - so take a look if you are feeling technologically curious!

King & Country February Dispatch! 
King & Country ROM003-KC
The new Dispatch has plenty of variety to pick from, be sure to look them over here and then head to the Treefrog store to pre-order your favorites. All the way through time from an all new range featuring the Romans up to the bravery and sacrifice of soldiers in World War II with a little bit of everything in between, no K&C collector should walk away empty-handed this month!
