Berlin '38 - regimental standards, flags etc. (2 Viewers)

It's good to see TGM returning to Berlin '38.

I'm wondering if there are any plans for future figures with regimental standards, flags etc. like the below? The colour and spectacle of massed standards would be very appealing.

Are the two paratroops flagbearer from TGM? Very nice.

Sold out for many years?

They are TGM from early 2011 - product code BER001E and there were two figures per box. Quite a few Fallschirmjäger parade figures (marching and at attention) were also released at this time.

BER001E currently on eBay (though wrongly described as BER001F).

Thank you.
Do I have to think about, more expensive fun, already almost 30 Euros shipping cost alone.

Günther - the original cost for BER001E in 2011 was US$60, so the eBay asking price of A$200 is also very high.

My small collection of TGM Berlin '38 Fallschirmjäger - I hope TGM truly revisit this series.

My Berlin '38 is a work in progress and displayed in a room guests to my home do not see. Some equate these toy soldiers to the collector sympathising with a murderous, corrupt and evil ideology - and I don't need that simplistic stereotyping.

Perhaps a better photo of my small TGM Berlin '38 Fallschirmjäger collection.

The regalia, flags, standards etc. of Imperial Germany obviously needed to be re-invented / re-interpreted after 1933.

Paul Krause 1883 to 1945(?), best known by his pseudonym Paul Casberg, was the artist largely responsible for the image of Nazism and the new Colours of the Wehrmacht. He was a 'colourful' character and his ultimate fate after 1945 is unknown.

An interesting and very professional website about him and his artistic work (not just Nazi themed) can be found at http://www.paulcasberg.com/

A TGM interpretation of the below standard bearers circa 1938 would be a great complement to any Wehrmacht parade. The image is from the collection of Marcus (aka Hadrian) taken from another thread on this forum.
