Many thanks for the kind comments, 'Flyboy'....I was just up with our Sculpting team in China this past Monday and approved the next 8 x IDF soldiers and the next vehicle...
Obviously I am more than a wee bit biased but...They look GREAT!!!
I truly believe these IDF Paras are among the very best 'action' soldiers K&C has ever produced and outstanding value for money.
Best wishes and happy collecting! Andy.

I know I will buy it, and it will go great with the tank, but any hints what the next vehicle is. I am hoping for an M2-M3 halftrack. And more battle IDF battle poses. Of course a corresponding Arab releases, would be great too and hoping it will get released before the summer ends.. 
And they really do look great Andy!!

Hi Spartan,
Many thanks for your appreciative words...Regretfully, the next IDF release will not be for a few more months...As I am sure you know, we are just releasing this first batch this month.
After sculpting approval we still have to go through 'casting'...'master-painting'...'sample approval'...and 'final full-scale production'...All of that takes time which if you combined it usually takes about 3-4 months to complete before we ship out to collectors and dealers all over the globe. So, if you will, bear with us, these upcoming ones will be very worthy additions to the first release.
On the subject of the next vehicle...the M3 Halftrack is already being worked on...But that is NOT the one coming next...So, keep guessing my friend and fellow IDF enthusiast.
As for opposition...Well, there is no shortage to choose from...Egyptian, Syrian and\or Jordanian...Take your pick...or go for all three!!!!
Best wishes and happy collecting! Andy.

Many thanks for the response Spartan...Regretfully, I will not be at Sierra this September as my daughter goes off to University in the UK and Mum and Dad will go over to help settle her in PLUS it's daughter Carrie's !8th. Birthday at the same time!!! Can't miss that one...I've missed most of the last 10!
On the plus side K&C and yours truly will be at 'Chicago' and showing a whole big bunch of new IDF figures and vehicles...Watch this space...
Best wishes and happy collecting! Andy.

As Zach can tell you, all of the pieces in this new series look incredible. It was great to see them in-person at the Texas show.

Thanks for your response Andy Team!! As a fellow Scott from lineage as my family comes from Renfrewshire which the name was changed to Renfro due to persecution upon migration I thank you K&C. I think Andy and Gordon may come from the same area.
This set is awesome. I am a catholic christian but I personally love Gods chosen and the wars they won from Egypt through the 6 Day War. They kicked butt. The women too. I think Shannon would be proud of this decision.
Hurrah For Auld Scotland!!
Thanks All!!

Received my Israeli tank and figures a few days ago. Great figures, among K&C's best!
The Tank is awesome and I believe that like myself many collectors will want a column of
these (2 or 3 minimum). My suggestion would be to offer
an additional tank with closed hatches and different serial number.
Its exciting to hear that 8 new IDF infantry and a vehicle are sculpted but please don't wait too
long for some Arab adversaries.

Hi Flyboy,
Many thanks for the 'Hurrah for Auld Scotia'...Yes, brother Gordon and yours truly were born and bred in Renfrew although I ended up going to school in nearby Paisley and then onto Glasgow School of Art.
As some already know I am a big fan of the Israeli Defense Forces....My admiration goes back to the Six Day War itself in June '67. Then, I was just 18 and a long-haired Art Student who still managed to love history and the military at the same time and was captivated by the IDF's amazing 'Blitzkrieg' of the Egyptian, Syrian and Jordanian opposition.
Their performance on air and land was extraordinary considering their limited military resources... however their brilliant leadership and fighting abilities won the day or actually SIX DAYS to be precise.
The response to this major new series has been very good and I'm already looking forward to the next releases in a few months time. Lots of good feedback at last week's San Antonio Show and excellent sales too!
Best wishes and happy collecting! Andy.

Hi 'NY',
thanks for the kind words...They are much appreciated.
Re opposition...I am looking at the moment at Egyptian/Syrian infantry and at least one armored vehicle although there are plenty to choose from.
Just before I left for San Antonio and the Texas Show I approved the sculpts for a squad more of Israeli Paratroopers in action including a great looking Sniper!!!
PLUS that new IDF vehicle.
All the best and happy collecting, Andy.

Hi Andy..the price of the series will remain the same (even for the new figures and opposition) ? Keep up the good work!
