My wife liked her "William & Kate" K&C set! (1 Viewer)

[Iron Brigade]

Last night (Christmas Eve) I gave my wife, Karen, the K&C set CE011 entitled "William & Kate" a duplex set of Prince William & Princess Kate as they left the church in London after getting married on 29 April 2011. She was surprised and very happy with the gift. It was almost not a surprise for her as this set was pictured in the prior issue of Toy Soldier & Model Figure (TS&MF) magazine which I put away soon after I got the issue from the mail box. By chance I also was able to obtain a mainly pictorial book on this royal wedding at the same time which will be used as a backdrop for the K&C set of William & Kate. Ah, it is not too often indeed that I buy something for my wife that is "toy soldier" related for my wife, but as she enjoyed watching the royal wedding on TV on 29 April 2011 I figured it would make a "thoughtful" gift which she indeed did not expect at all thanks to my hiding the issue of TS&MF that had the photos of this set in it! Please see two photos below. "Iron Brigade" / Gary

Hi Gary,

I am sure Karen was pleasantly surprised to receive the lovely "William and Kate" set. It was indeed very thoughtful of you to present this to her as a Christmas gift. Here's wishing both of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Warmest Regards, Raymond.

Thanks for your comments! At first I thought that the K&C figure of Prince William looks rather close to the real person, but not so much the figure of Princess Kate. However, after looking over the "Kate" figure some more I guess it looks close enough like her to be acceptable enough for display.

Thanks for your comments! Yes, perhaps a couple of "Guards" sets will some day be added to flank the famous newly weds of 29 April 2012.
