Herald WebsiteLink: https://www.heraldtoysandmodels.co.uk/

Use the Herald link if you are in the UK or Europe. Check both sites for the best pricing if you live in another international location. Also check eBay for periodic listings.

New UK Distributor - Herald Toys and Models

Soft cover versions of Swivel & Swop will be available for purchase through Herald Toys and Models. The plan is to bulk-ship straight to Herald from the book printer in the US to minimize overseas shipping costs. If you live in the UK or other parts of Europe, Herald is almost certain to be your lowest cost option (and probably a good option for many other international locations).

Herald's planned UK launch for Swivel & Swop is July 4, 2026 at the Plastic Warrior Show. Check pricing and availability at https://www.heraldtoysandmodels.co.uk/

If you live in the UK and desire a hard cover book, contact the author (email at bottom) for potential options other than paying the shipping cost of a single book from Texas. (e.g. - I will be in the UK this summer and may be able to bring a hard cover book with me - send email if interested.)

Swivel and Swop, Collecting Guide for Britains Swoppet Figures by Ed Poole

Soft cover books are now in stock with hard cover books on the way. Sales Kick-off on July 4.

Reference guide for Britains Swoppet figures with full documentation of the non-medieval ranges and a supplement to Swords & Roses on the Swoppet Knights.
2 Options - Both are new books with laminated cover and 290 pages (8-1/2" x 11" in landscape format) with 1,095 photos/illustrations.
- Soft cover - $59 plus shipping (*) (Available at this site or Herald Toys and Models) This is the primary book type and most affordable option. It uses "Perfect Bind" for the binding like many other toy soldier books. ISBN 979-8-9945719-1-0.
- Hard Cover - $77 plus shipping (*) (Only available at this site) This is a limited edition with only 30 books being printed. It uses "Cased Bind" (like Swords & Roses), offering increased durability and is often referred to as a coffee table book. ISBN 979-8-9945719-0-3.

(*) Reflects US Retail Price. UK Prices on the Herald Toys and Models site will include an additional bulk shipping component to reach the UK.

This site ships from the USA. Please accept regrets regarding the high international shipping costs, but they are a reality (current shipping cost of a single Swords & Roses book to the UK is about $49). This is why the Herald option has been put in place for Swivel & Swop. With that said, shipping from the US is possible and perhaps preferable for some international locations. Please inquire about shipping costs at the email address below. Note that customers are responsible for any local customs fees imposed.
Payment Method:
- US Customers: Use the payment buttons below to order a book and pay with PayPal or Debit/Credit Card with secure links. Cost is $59 soft cover or $77 hard cover plus $7 shipping cost. Seller will cover any state sales tax required.
