@Will posted:Good question. I just ordered an old one from that auction site today. To me, the new ones don't look exactly like the old ones. I wonder, did they make new molds? I think so. I prefer some of the old ones. Plus the new ones are very shiny of course with perfect paint.
I’m not sure of the repro civilians but the army men are new molds . Many of the new soldiers were never made by Barclay. A lot of the soldiers back in the day were not necessarily true copies but copies none the less of German soldiers . I’ve seen original German soldiers at various shows and one can see the obvious copy by Barclay. Some people have suggested that you spray a dull coat on the repros to kill the shine .
