    Dispatches are up!!

    Rob, thanks as always for posting these. Really a nice round of releases. Obviously the Typhoon is great, and I expected the Naps along with the Ancient in Egyptian. But I'm a big fan of the AK troops in their greatcoats. And the Robert the Bruce/Bannockburn(sp?) MK set is quite something...

    Battle of Bannockburn

    I guess it's technically not a new range since it's still "MK" or Medieval Knights, even thought we all call it "The Crusades". That said...I'd LOVE to see K&C expand outside of The Crusades/Middle East in future Medieval releases. My personal pick would be Vlad the Impaler vs. The Ottomans (I...

    CS Panther vs. K&C Panther

    Hope it's appropriate to ask this here, but I was wondering if anyone owned both the CS Panther (Normandy version) and the latest K&C Panther (Hitlerjugend). If so...what are the differences? Size, sculpting, stability/durability etc. Is there one you prefer? I haven't had the opportunity to...

    Forthcoming Dispatches...the Marmite effect!

    I would love a double-warbird bill (my wallet...not so much)...but I doubt it. You'd think that given the price, they'd want to spread out the warbirds as much as possible. If anything, I could see the WWI Albatross, because that might appeal to non-WWII consumers, although I imagine there'd...

    Napoleon in Egypt Pedestal featured in the latest Collector?

    Hey all - have you seen the Egyptian pedestal/monument in the latest Collector. It's got a Napoleonic soldier carving "grafitti" into it? Does anyone know whether the pedestal will be released along with the soldier, or was it a one-off for the magazine? It's seems like a great piece, and...

    Forthcoming Dispatches...the Marmite effect!

    Rob, I don't know about all these mites you UK and AU boys are on about, but I do look forward to your "forthcoming dispatches" threads, almost as much as I do the dispatches themselves. I'm at a loss for what we might see besides the Typhoon (which I'm quite excited about). ACW would make...

    London Show Pics?

    Any idea who makes the Matilda? Thanks to all for taking those pictures. Best, Mark

    Forthcoming Australian Light Horse Figures

    The Light Horse is an example of a range that was outside my area of interest but the figures were so good that I dove in anyway. I'm not sure anyone sculpts horses better than K&C. The fact that they went well with the Desert Village pieces helped. They currently serve figures in my...

    Do you think K and C should revive Vietnam?

    I voted yes because I love modern figures. But if K&C were to do something recent, I would much prefer something a return to Special Forces or the Arab/Israeli conflict. Since there are people who've expressed interest in Vietnam, and Andy's stated there are no plans for it any time soon, I've...

    Melbourne - A Quick Fifteen Minutes with Andy

    Wow...thanks so much for getting so many questions answered, including 2 of mine. And thanks to Andy for answering these. Glad there will be an RAF AA gun and casualties. The latter was important to me as I've been on the fence on whether to keep the RAF ambulance or buy the retired FOB...

    Melbourne - Questions for Andy

    Howard, Hope you can ask these questions as I don't think they were touched on prievously: 1 - Will the long-promised Chinese opposition for the USN figures be released any time this year? 2 - Will there be a stretcher party for the RAF ambulance. (3 - Someone already asked about a...

    Future Figarti Airplanes

    My vote is for 1:30 if it's WWII, to go along with the K&C warbirds and more importantly the Luftwaffe/RAF/USAAF support crew. If by some miracle it's modern, 1:32 to go with the pre-existing modern line. I'd love to see a helicopter (a Chinook, Cobra or Blackhawk would be great). For WWII...

    Texas Toy Soldier Show - Figarti

    Thanks for these pics. My big question - are the pieces w/the chains holding the rocket on the flatcar for sale. If not officially, will someone Figarti please sell them to me unofficially:) Is the loader out yet? That and the AA gun are looking like great ad-ons. Carlos - I assume you were...

    King and Country Visit to Australia

    Brett, If you don't mind asking a couple more questions...I'd also love to know when we could expect the Stuka, whether there will be an RAF anti-air gun and/or stretcher party for the ambulance, and whether/when we'll finally see Chinese opposition for the USN soldiers (and what kind)...

    Dak 88?

    I know this has been asked before, but will there be an Afrika Corps version of the '88? Or better yet, a DAK 88 with an SdkFz 7 to tow it. I don't know much about how TS are manufactured, but it would seem to be just a matter of new paint schemes for the two existing models (not sure if the...

    Glad to hear that it's well constructed and packed, Marc. I should say that anything I've ever bought from Figarti that had any issues was replaced without hassle (and in at least one case, with a bonus). I do hope to get my damaged Rail Carrier fixed but overall I'm thrilled with the...

    Figarti factory open Sunday?

    Hey everyone - thanks for your answers. Just got back from a wonderful trip to China - saw Beijing, Xi'An and Shanghai. All amazing places and I highly recommend a visit there. Aside from the history, you need to see the pace of growth and modernization to believe it. You can see why labor...

    Dispatches are up!!

    My thoughts: Surprised there weren't more D-Day figures. Not a complaint...just assumed there would be more split over June and July. Same thing with ACW...but I imagine it can't be too much longer. Although I'm not a Nap collector happy to see more for those of you that collect it. I'm...

    King & Country iphone app???

    as a consumer it would be a no brainer. I'd love a push notification when dispatches were up (although it could never replace you, rob) I'd also love a way to easily keep track of my collection. actually - if K&C doesn't do it, SOMEONE should release a toy soldier app where you could...

    He219

    wow...I don't know what's more impressive - the model or the reasonable price. only two things may stop me from this purchase - the size, and how well it's put together. after having trouble with the rail carrier I want to make sure nobody has problems with fragility. regardless, this...
