What next?

One day Strelet will run out of ideas for new poses for the streltsi figures.

What would you replace them with? Personally, I would like to see the “B cast characters” that make history interesting.

I would suggest characters like
● Jemima Nicholas, also known as “Jemima Fawr” (Jemima the Great), who single-handedly captured twelve of the invading soldiers. The last invasion of mainland Britain was at Fishguard in 1797. well worth looking up.Probably it should be called ' Carry on Invading' as it was such a farce!
● the waiter bring drinks to the paratroopers at Pegasus bridge.
● Captain Nolan – charge of the light brigade.


What can others suggest?

Re: What next?

Personality figures from the film Zulu would be top of any list from me, and probably always will be. What I would now like to see is Africa Korps heavy weapons ,plus seated figures and AFV crews for both sides in the desert 1940/43.

Re: What next?

Casualty Streltsi (endless poses)

Hand to Hand combat Strelsti

Command Group of Streltsi

Strelsti Camp Life

Etc, etc, etc, as was famously said ...

Re: What next?

Jemima fawr is a fine idea. In a similar vein, I would like a figure of Sgt. Friederike Kruger of the 9th Colberg infantry regiment. I'm thinking of a figure that is obviously of a female soldier but not one of those sexy cheesecake figures. make her look like a proper soldier, perhaps have her wearing her Iron Cross.

I would also like a figure of Massena's mistress in her "Dragoon uniform" disguise. Any amount of cheesecake would be perfectly OK for this one. :grin:

Any other Napoleonic female soldiers (there were a few) or any camp followers would be fine.

I do need bonus figures of Butcher Cumberland and Foppy Prince Cherlie and hey! You could make sets of cavalry and artillery so you had something to put the bonus figs in :wink:

Personality figures for Rorkes Drift is a good suggestion too.

While we're on the subject of personality figures, I wouldn't complain if you made a Napoleons General Staff set 4 where all the figures looked exactly the same as those in set 1.

Where`s the like button when you need one.

Re: What next?

Gentlemen, you are all wrong, may I suggest Captain Jenkins and his ear instead?
