Welcome to the Strelets Forum. Please feel free to discuss any aspect of 1/72 scale plastic figures, not simply Strelets. If you have any questions about our products then we will answer them here.
Yes! Chinese warriors! If I remember correctly it was the Sun Dynasty that they first fought with? And then Kublai Khan started the Yuan Dynasty later...
By Sun do you mean the Sung or was that the actual dynasty name of the Xi Xia (first "chinese" forces to clash with the Mongols)?
If you mean the Sung dynasty, then it was the 3rd chinese force after the Xi Xia and Jin (or Chin). In any case, I still wonder how a nation like medieval China has been completely ignored! We need them cruelly!
Sung sounds right, but I could be thinking of something else...I meant whatever dynasty existed during Genghis Khan's time.
--Okay, just looked it up online, said it was Jin. Oh well...Sun? Jin? Doesn't sound the same...my mistake! It's been a while since I did heavy research on the Chinese dynasties (I did a little a year or two back).
Anyway, we DO need more Chinese figs! I demand MOOOOOOOORRRREEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even I can't manage to remember which dynasty was in which part of China, it always gets complicated to me!
Anyway let's cheer up and know that if we stand together on this we will "force" someone to finally rethink the Chinese and make us some nice figures!
Hooray for China(s)!!
Could I make another suggestion of including some more neutral non-combative poses that would be useful for operating artillery pieces, including open/empty hands. It would be usefull for conversions for characters or specialist individuals. Thanks David for making relevant comments for this set.
