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.
Dear Strelets, do you have any plans on expanding your medieval range? I hope you will consider a mini-set of medieval Turkish Infantry 14-16th centuries. A mix of pole-arms, bows, matchlocks. This set would match up very well with your excellent Turkish cavalry. This of course would lead to Eastern European enemies-Hungarian light cavalry, Vlad the Impaler, late Byzantines, all of which could be mixed with your medieval levy sets. Thanks for your consideration.
no, we don't have such plans at the moment. To the best of our knowledge, Lucky Toys are going to make Vlad the Impaler set, so we assume the Turks will follow eventually.
The only Lucky toys set I managed to get my hands on was there army of King Porus set. Lovely figures but not enough poses, although this is understandable when you put cavalry infantry elephant and chariot all in the one box.
Lucky Toys were/are a promising company, their Huns were criticised for accuracy by many but technically were very nice figures. Unfortuately, most of what they have done since - with the exception of the Indians - has been dogged by poor production standards. If they are still around I hope they recover form and do produce the promised sets. I would second late medieval/Renaissance Turks as the Ottomans were a really important military power and all we have at present is one, albeit lovely, set of Janissaries.
Actually there are 2 sets of Janissaries although I admit that the Zvedza set is way too big. Also for Light Cavalry Types I also use the Mamlukes from Hat or Zvedza (again Zvedza too big and the only opponent to date the oversized Italeri Austrian Infantry).
Best regards,
Malcolm
