Tihon Figuren is a toy soldier manufacturer based out of Russia. Based on the name, I wonder if there is some type of German connection. They don't describe themselves as a manufacturer per se, but rather as hobby enthusiasts who make figures for their own and their friends' enjoyment. While I just recently discovered them, they seem to have been around for a few years already as they have released over 70 sets. Their choices of figures cover quite a range of periods and genres. I ran into them thanks to a set of Naval Infantry, but they have also released sets covering American Indians, Cowboys, Pirates, Swiss guards (maybe this explains the German sounding name), Fantasy figures, Aztecs, Russian revolution, or filmed themed such as Braveheart, the Witcher, etc. What's also interesting about some of their figures is that some of them are made to look like cartoons. My focus is WW2, so I won't be featuring all those other sets, but if you are curious, you can check them out here (you might need to use your browser's ability to translate the page as it is in Russian). And if you want to buy their figures, there is a dealer who offers them here. As far as their WW2 set, it is a really nice one. Let's take a look!
