Eaglemoss - Soldado de brincar Red Army soldiers - 1940-1950

"Red Army Soldiers" (Romania, 2011–2012, Limited Test Series) - 11x Hand-Painted Metal Figures 1:43 + GAZ 69A in Custom Illuminated Showcase

DESCRIPTION (EN)
Collector’s lot featuring 11 hand-painted solid metal figures (cast heavy lead/tin alloy) of Soviet WWII Red Army officers and soldiers from the Eaglemoss series "Soldații din Armata Roșie" (scale 1:43, approx. 4–5 cm tall), paired with a 1:43 diecast GAZ 69A on its factory plinth, presented inside an illuminated acrylic showcase.

Historical Context & Collectibility
The collection focused exclusively on Soviet/Russian WWII troops (infantrymen, Black Sea naval infantry, political commissars, snipers, scouts), serving as a localized adaptation of an extremely popular kiosk partwork series published in Russia at the time.

It was released between 2011 and 2012 in Romania as a market-test series, distributed in a limited run across selected cities. Due to restricted distribution, the collection was never expanded on a large national scale and sold out rapidly. Finding an assembled group of 11 distinct figures preserved in this condition is very difficult today. These pieces were acquired in Romania at the time of release.

Detailed Breakdown of Figures (1:43 scale, white metal/tin alloy, hand-painted):
Each figure stands on its own textured display base and features accurate historical uniform detailing and painting on both front and back:
