I have no clue what they are exactly, but they remind me of coomodel 1/6 scale stuff, they do a lot of knights and samurai figures.

Been looking for at least two hours but not found anything.

The caption of the photo is "Sergio Toppi in front of a collection of lead soldiers. Italy, 1988." Aside from that caption reverse searching this image doesn't seem to be anymore help.

You're best bet will be a key word search, and figuring out the right combination of words to find these, like "Vintage metal knight suit of armor statue on wood base."...or if you want to search for the larger Japanese figures, "Japanese samurai statue with banner wood base..." etc. (neither of those two searches yealded anything).

I've never seen a lead toy soldier of this large size, and they look too detailed - maybe the caption is wrong about them being lead? ...sorry, really don't know anything about lead soldiers or their history.

Their similar size and similar wood bases at least indicate they are part of the same statue set (the larger Japanese figures also seem to have similar bases, so same company for all?). The detail makes me think they are more recent than 30s-60s, etc, maybe made in the 80's.

That's all I can think of.

I think the knights might be model kits like these. Look up Armored Knight model kit.

His name is Sergio Toppi and he makes them by himself. There is a book about it called Une Armèe Immobile published by Mosquito.

Thanks, I instantly ordered this book.
I suggested they might be model kits but I had also considered they might be scratch built as references for his art but I wasn’t able to find anything related to Sergio Toppi toys, figures, figurines.

Really cool to get an answer on this, thanks very much:

“An amazing book! 137 color photos of Toppi's handmade soldier figures alongside approximately 100 color and black & white Toppi drawings and studies…“

“For years, Sergio Toppi produced for his personal pleasure soldiers of about twenty centimeters [8 inches] in height with fabulous thoroughness and attention to detail..”

“Each summer, Toppi made figurines of soldiers out of plasticine, and for clothes, paper, feathers, strips of metal, leather, wood …”

>plasticine
That's not a good translation. The French copy says he used "DAS" clay. That's a well known brand of modeling clay here in Europe.

I had no idea Toppi made these. I am a fan of his art, and I can see how these figures were another way for him to make art with the knowledge he used about the costumes for his comic art.
