"Heads I WIN" ! We also are now casting a number of component kit parts, some of which we are going to offer for collectors separately, to enable them to produce their own home made "variations" among the ranks on their collection room shelves. Various Heads, legs, bodies and arms.....these will be shortly listed onto the web site under a new category listing.

The heads came out of the "Mountfod" Box, we got sent in our "shipment" from Abram and Ana Simon. Though err knowing Mr and Mrs "Kaputnik" of Fleurbaix N Z anything was "possible".

I have heard some right stories.....Orders not met. E Mails and Phone calls Ignored, no web site activity for years....an unexplained "Fire" and some very shoddy poor quality work and bad painting.

i even found a link on here in RED which refers to a conversation "thread" a few years back between Pere Gregg Simon and A N "Other member. If you try to read it nowadays it invokes Treefrogs instant security ban software !!!

Aparently "Father Gregg" threatened somebody who dared complain about the poor quality badly painted products with "Legal Action".

Say "Attende une moment ici"....How is it that he was a "church of England Clergyman" (Abram said so in Toy Figure magazine Article with george Philllips in 2023). Yet C of E Clergy are NOT called "father" they are called "Reverand" !!!!

My wife and I have found "Rosedale" masters mixed up in huge plastic bags with Ducal, Mountford and Under two Flags etc....Tell you what, sorting out all the muddle has taken us both MONTHS.

I found the other week three or four Moulds which Mr kaputnik had tried to cast "Plastic Resin" in.....ruined the insides of Two Moulds for certain, might be able to save the rest not certain yet. Entire interior detail of the tooling thick solid shiny glued on plastic......No comment

Five AM this morning I actually took the final photo of Ducal Masters, including several heads. Will upload photo on here.

Got some photos of our NEW Display Model Parts, including the British 4.7 Inch Gun, British Six Pounder Ante Tank Gun and the German WW1 and WW2 "Light Field Wagon" Parts undercoated ready for assembly. We aim to get rid of the old scanned photo images from the previous management as quickly as we can. Putting uploads of fresh new work instead to reassure clients.

When previous ownership has had a negative Public image, we are duty bound to work hard to get rid of this tarnshed dis credited former image. I fear this might not be too easy or simple....but its too late to "go back" now. To be hoest, IF we had known HOW BAD it all was at N Z, we would NOT have purchased the ranges.

Hearing everything we have, we now wonder aloud just exactly "Who???!!!" we really did business with in N Z???, Abram is supposed to be "dead" but there is NO PROOF. Ana (was it really Abram instead?) wrote to us once trying to get us to buy another load of stuff from her.

We wrote back to them later on ourselves threatening Legal action over certain items re copyright and products. "No Answer" How very predictable. If anyone out thtere gets a E mail purporting to be either from Abram or Ana Simon, offerring to sell them Toy Figure ranges now, THINK TWICE !!!!

If I was you, we DO NOT KNOW who really is out there behind these mails or requests. All replies came back "Address unknown" . This might be a scam, a Arnaque. Please take care, and in our opinion, HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF IT.

As with everything produced by "Kaputnik" in N Z "masters" appear to be Sub masters made from metal in a lot of cases. This ROSEDALE Gattling Gun, (mould tool shown) is in fact a stripped Display Model, from "Kaputnik", because Mr "Kaputnik" sold all the stock......Dont you just want to "meet" this guy????
