[King & Country]

Hi Guys,

The current situation in that country is still ongoing and 'fluid' shall we say so, no need for my paltry 2 cents...

However, it did remind me of K&C's small entry into that unfortunate country back in 2003.

We only produced a limited number of figures and sets but our 'proud boast' then was that K&C was the only people who caught Bin Laden alive!

Here's a timely reminder...
And a prayer for the safety and well being of those thousands of Afghans desperately trying to get out and all the American, British and other forces trying to protect and help them.

All the best,
Andy

Great sets!

A revisit to a modern range would be good which could cover:

Iraq
Afghanistan
Somalia

The range could just be called 'Modern Forces' but the sets could Cover all these battles etc.

I would love to see black hawk down (Mogadishu) themed sets!

The Iraq/Afghanistan line was one of my all-time favorite K&C lines.

As I have mentioned many times before, the poses, detail and weapons were all incredible.

An 1842 Retreat to Kabul or 1880 Battle of Maiwand series may have merit. Two entirely unexplored famous engagement.

 

[Go for Broke]

I would like KC to revisit Afghanistan. The SAS soldier pointing the pistol is an excellent sculpt. So much so, I was thinking of getting a duplicate.

 

[Combat]

Those were very cool, but unfortunately you would have to reverse the poses of combatants if you updated this line.

 

[HAWKEYE]

I remember when that sety came out i had bin laden getting captured setup in my office. The customers loved it. My gm hated it and made me take it down.

Andy,

One of my favorite K&C items in my collection is the custom diorama you made for a Toy Show in Nuremburg, Germany, which you sold to me with a custom made SAS Land Rover:

 

[Panzer ace]

The exquisitely detailed small arms are reason enough to love this series, let alone the poses, sculpting and underlying history!

 

[jason foote]

Very interesting range

 

[Panzer ace]

I would definitely be a buyer of this line if it was continued.

I’m sorry I never bought some, but that’s life. I wonder how well a series like that would do well today. Figarti had a rather nice series too. Halcyon days!

 

[SITHTABBY]

I was lucky enough to get all the figures except for the humvee unfortunately. I think they're some of the best figures K&C has ever made. I can only imagine what K&C could do with the Afghanistan line now.... I would jump at any new additions to this series!

I hope it comes back to life, clearly collectors want to see it again.
