Re: New Product Suggestions

I’m aware that atrocities were committed during the occupation. I just said that they were no worse than atrocities committed by the allies. Should we not make sets of miniatures for the Brits and Americans for the fire bombing of Dresden? The Soviets for their countless offenses? And that’s not even to mention the Germans who are incredibly popular in the hobby despite their activities during the war. And I’m assuming that with your Wikipedia link you’re trying to show that the Bulgarians didn’t lose millions of men. That doesn’t take away from their notable contributions in the Balkans in 1944.

Thanks for your support Pedro!!

Pathans!
Would open the conflict up in 1/72. A firm favourite in metal ranges. To complement colonial Brits and Russians.
I know some might also dream of Afghan army, Persians, Khiva etc, but at the least Pathans should be done. (Esci had a few good poses in their old set, but very few.) A bit like what was done with the Arab revolt or Rif rebellion sets, but dress is not identical.
Thanks for consideration!

Hello,

The first thing that springs to my mind are Jacobites.
To be honest the 2 existing sets are not that good.

Another type of figure I would like is generic superheroes.

Consider most superheroes wear a body suit, with our without a cape, and with or without headgear.

So even a small set of male and female figures would give you enough variation to do almost any figure as it is the paint job that differentiates most superheroes.

Captain America and Batman wear essentially the same outfit, Superman wears the same clothing as Shazam. It is the painting that makes them specific.

I am building superheroes using existing figures, here are some from the Batman 66 universe, based on the TV show and Batman 66 comics.


New Spray Paint for the General Gumm and henchmen figures.

Re: New Product Suggestions

Add my vote to Pedro and George's for Mexican Revolution sets. I also would love to see more Plains Indian Wars sets from Strelets. Only the US Cavalry were done and they are long out of production.

Re: New Product Suggestions

A revamp of the Jacobites sets would be good. Especially as the Red box Government forces are so good.
1950s US figures would also be interesting.

Re: New Product Suggestions

Mexican Revolution figures would be nice. Would also like to see the WW1 range continue..lots of big gaps still and some more figures for the Rif War specially the Spanish and some Rif Berbers.
WW2 Greeks for 1940 against the Italians gets my support too.

Re: New Product Suggestions

Unfortunately another neglected period in our hobby is the English Civil War. A few sets covering this period will remedy this gap.

Re: New Product Suggestions..ECW

Excellent suggestion George, for a very colourful period. The figures would be very versatile and also allow expansion in many cases to Thirty Years War and beyond in Europe.

Re: New Product Suggestions

I've never seen a set of figures from the Paraguayan War from 1864 to 1870 where Paraguay took on Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay.

It was a complete bloodbath for Paraguay whose population shrank by reports of 60-90%.
