Dear All
Welcome to our April release which is mainly geared to WW2 with a small
amount of WW1 on offer. Not sure how that happened but we will be returning
to the Foreign Legion, French Indian and Napoleonic wars in the very near
future in a very big way.
WW1
GW042B is the gas mask version of our prone Chauchat French army gunner
which has just about sold out. Grab this version whilst you can as only 100
are available and priced at $40/£29.50 inc VAT, these are bound to be a
popular item.
WW2
USA006A/B is a running GI Ranger hitting the beach on 6th June 1944.
This version is wearing high leg boots and comes in either an A version with
'Dry Legs look' or a B version with the 'Wet Legs Look' both suitable for a
just off the beach landing dio.
Priced at $40/£29.50 each figure and limited to 100 in number.
PARA011 Major Digby Tatham Warter DSO in a relaxed pose with his famous
umbrella. Digby was known to take his umbrella into battle with him so that
he could be easily recognised as he had trouble remembering passwords!
At Arnhem Digby was attached to A company 2 Para and lead several charges
with his umbrella, some even wearing a Bowler hat he had acquired along the
way!
As the Germans surrounded the British, Digby was captured but due to his
wounds was sent under guard to a hospital. Escaping soon afterwards he made
his way back to the Allied lines along with another 150 Paras who were also
trying to get back to their own lines. Upon his return to the UK Digby was
awarded the DSO, he survived the war and set up a farm in Kenya where he
died in 1993. Limited to 100 in number, this figure is priced at $40/£29.50.
PARA012: An unlucky Para lies dead somewhere in Arnhem, a sad end for many
of the Airborne Division that flew into Holland in 1944. Limited to 100 in
number and priced at $40/£29.50 per figure.
FJ010 A/B/C Sentry: We have had a small number of these excellent figures
released to us from the factory. If you missed the first batch then please
email as soon as possible as we only have 10 of each version now back in
stock. Priced at $40/£29.50 as per our normal pricing structure.
FJ019 The Breakfast Club Part 2; Two more of our popular FJ's in a relaxed
mode to add to the first Breakfast Club recently issued. One FJ stands
smoking a cigarette with his MG42 propped up in front of him whilst the
other adopts a more casual pose resting his foot on an ammo box, note the
captured Sten gun as his weapon of choice! A pan of fried egg makes a neat
touch to this set. Please note that both these figures have no base and can
be used as tank riders if so desired. Priced at $79/£59 for the pair and
limited to 100 in number.
RS013 Patrolman with Mule. An Aussie soldier tries to encourage his young
Mule to move forward through the jungle. Limited to 100 in number and priced
at $75/£57.50
RS014 Another Aussie soldier for our Patrol, this time with Lee Enfield
rifle looking out for the elusive Japanese who could be hidden anywhere!
Priced at $40/£29.50 and limited to 100 in number.
RS015 Standing firing Japanese rifleman with backpack takes aim at one of
our Allied soldiers. Limited to 100 in number and priced at $40/£29.50 each
figure.
RS016 Kneeling firing Japanese rifleman limited to 100 in number and priced
at $40/£29.50 per figure.
RS017 Standing firing Aussie rifleman limited to 100 in number and priced at
$40/£29.50 per figure.
SOV009B Winter rifleman with sledge. A Soviet rifleman suitable for The
Russian Civil war or late 1941 looks over his sights as the enemy come into
view. Limited to 100 in number and priced at $43.50/£32 per figure including
sledge.
Club 022 Captain James Cleminson KBE MC was also at Arnhem and was famously
holed up with Major General Roy Urquhart in an attic, when the Germans
surrounded the house they were stranded in.
Urquhart apparently took exception to Cleminsons moustache which he called
"**** silly" and this scene is repeated in the film A Bridge Too Far.
Cleminson was also captured at Arnhem and held prisoner until 1945 where he
was released by American forces. He returned to work at his father's firm
after the war and died in 2010. Our figure of Cleminson has him drinking a
cup of tea perhaps chatting with Digby about the upcoming Arnhem operation?
Free with any purchase over $150 to Gunn Club members who buy direct thru
our website or can be purchased for $40/£29.50 if you are not inclined to
spend $150 with us! That's all for this month folks.
A couple you missed mate.

hey Vicki...
in the January newsletter you had mentioned that you had 10 sets of Arabs coming very soon...
I was a little disappointed not to see them in the February releases...
and I really expected to see them last month in the March releases...
but now am just flat bummed that they are not in the new April releases...
when the newsletter in January said "very soon"...what kind of time frame does "very soon" really mean?

Hello Mike
The first batch of sculpts were just too small so they all had to be reworked at considerable expense. We should have the first new Arabs out in June which is not too long I hope? As is often pointed out on the forum, size does matter and we did not want to disappoint!
Best wishes Vicki

Tom,
good news that you will be returning to the Napoleonic era soon, you need 'some colour in your day'
I see that you have released another in the 'Breakfast Club' theme ... very nice, but will this theme be passed onto other eras, like Napoleonic ????
I'd love to see some soldiers, sitting around a campfire before the forthcoming battle..... any side ..... and as they had a huge entourage with them, possibly some camp followers???
Keep up the good work....
John

Dear All
The new releases came in today and are already on their way out!
It looks like the USA Rangers and the new FJ's are already very nearly sold out as well as PARA012, I would recommend you order these from your dealer if not already done so.
