The infinite charm of miniature toys brought to you by Edoardo Dubini
I’m endlessly curious, always diving deeper into the stories and craftsmanship behind every toy. From vintage action figures to classic model soldiers, I’m driven by the thrill of uncovering what makes each object special.
Edoardo’s passion for toy soldiers and iconic toys began in childhood, fuelled by hours spent with Atlantic soldiers, Subbuteo, and beloved Japanese robots like Jeeg, Mazinga, and Goldrake. But his fascination extended to all toys. He still recalls the magic of two grand toy shops in Milan, now long gone, where wonder awaited on every shelf. With 15 years of experience, Edoardo has honed his expertise through countless fairs, markets, and deep research into vintage toys. His knowledge is strongest in toy soldiers and military models from the ’60s and ’70s, but his curiosity drives him to learn about every collectible that crosses his path. Working alongside renowned toy expert Marco Onesti shaped his understanding of valuations and market trends, making him a trusted name in the field. At Catawiki, Edoardo curates auctions that capture nostalgia and craftsmanship. Whether handling rare Japanese robots or vintage Italian soldiers, he ensures each piece finds the right collector. Engaging with sellers and buyers alike, he builds connections that extend beyond transactions—sharing stories, expertise, and a deep love for the world of classic toys.
