My first questions is Who is Ron Barzso and how did all of this start? It started with the first playset, Roger’s Rangers.
I would like to say I am a big fan of your work and have followed your company for a while now. Warhorse Miniatures: Hi Ron, thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions. The conversation moved into different directions as you will see as you read further. As we talked I took notes to use later on for this article. This was the first time I did an interview over the phone. He and his family were busy packaging their final playset the “Battle of Yorktown: Attack on Redoubt #10”. The other day I got a chance to talk to Ron Barzso and ask him a few questions. This year at the Chicago Toy Soldier Show Barzso Playsets in a joint venture with LOD Enterprises will release a playset together. Today his products are very desirable and can command a premium price. But some of his best products had to be the forts and castles they made.īarzso brought collectors dreams come to life. They still continued to use resin casted character figures and accessories that are made here in the USA.īesides producing some great playsets Barzso sold figure packs, different kinds of small accessories and foam buildings. Later on they used plastic injected molds to make the figures and they were made in China. Most of there early figures were casted in resin and so were the playset accessories. He also brought to life some of our childhood classic stories like John Stevenson’s “Treasure Island” and the medieval tale of “Robin Hood”. The Native American Indian figures are some of the best figures every produced. The French & Indian War was a major theme of his. From early colonial history to the American Civil War. Most of his products were focused on early American history. Barzso Playsets would release a new playset almost every year after for the next 25 years. It was the first new American produced playset in about 25 years.
