I saw a post on the Imagi-nations forum that said Peter has given up Spencer Smith now and some of the moulds have been sold to a guy in the States who has the 18th century moulds.
He has an interesting idea of a Kickstarter forr these figures returning to the original plastic!!!!
It seems Aly Morrison has retained the Shiny ToySpldiers and Little Britain's ranges.
So I'm not sure if these figures are available any more/at the moment.
Anyone any idea of what's happening and if/when we can get these figures again and where we can get the Ally Morrison figures from?
Thanks
Dave

That's a pity. I've bought quite a number of Little Britons from Peter and was waiting for his move to be completed to order more. Fingers crossed that they and the STS range will continue to be available though I doubt Aly Morrison would have the time to do so himself.

I mean to ask which forum you saw the news on, there are quite a few of them.

That’s worrying as STS Little Britons 42mm Range are the source of my Boy Scout figures

I've heard back from Peter Johnson. "I have sold the entire Spencer Smith range to a wargamer/producer in the States who will carry on the business as usual.
The good news is that for various reasons I and carrying on with the Shiny Toy Soldier/Little Britons range as normal which will mean a new website etc etc. in due course. Meanwhile I am taking orders as usual."
A sigh of relief from me!

Thanks Brian. Great news.
Just hope the American source takes off.
The forum was the Imagi-nations forum
I need to complete my SSM 18th century armies

That’s good news - I will put in an order for 50 more STS Little Britons Boy Scout figures then.
Odd that this news doesn’t show on Peter’s old SSM website yet unless I’m looking in the wrong place.

Hi Mark
I've had the same thought when looking at the SSM site -- no information at all about the new situation

I put in my order for Boy Scouts a few days ago to Peter at SSM by email as normal and these are now cast, paid for and on their way.

I haven't heard anything on my side of the pond in the states.
