Lyrics:

Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers

It wasn't my intention to mislead you
It never should have been this way
What can I say?
It's true, I did extend the invitation
I never knew how long you'd stay

When you hear temptation call
It's your heart that takes, takes the fall
(Won't you come out and play with me?)

Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers

Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers

It's getting hard to wake up in the morning
My head is spinning constantly
How can it be?
How could I be so blind to this addiction?
If I don't stop, the next one's gonna be me

Only emptiness remains
It replaces all, all the pain
(Won't you come out and play with me?)

Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers

Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers

We never win

Only emptiness remains
It replaces all, all the pain
(Won't you come out and play with me?)

Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers

Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers

Step by step
Heart to heart
Left, right, left
We all fall down
Like toy soldiers

Bit by bit
Torn apart
We never win
But the battle wages on
For toy soldiers

I know (from reading three books about #toysoldiers during this search) that German toy makers attempted some standardization in the 1840s, but sources are confused about whether those were head-height or eye-height standards.

Take, for example, Heinrichsen's oft-cited "Nuremberg scale."

Today's #TTRPG related purchase at the #Ypsilanti #fleamarket is positively ancestral: A $10 box of 1970s Britains #ToySoldiers I bought because I'm researching gaming #miniatures scales.

Глория Камируага сняла в своей работе и дочерей, и себя (как мне показалось), и ещё подросткинь и взрослых. Есть на видео и один андрогинный юноша с фруктовым мороженым во рту.
