Big News from Barzso Playsets (1 Viewer)

Hi All,

Some big news coming from Barzso Playsets. While Ron has been quiet the past year or two, he's still been busy.

Ron has been looking for a better formulation of plastic resin to run figures in - - and has found it! The company that runs the figures are on board and have produced a selection of Ron's previous figures.

The new material is more durable than the original resin, figures come out of the mold with straight weapons, etc. I have some of the early mold shots, and I even went to the length of dropping a firing guy on my concrete basement floor - no damage! Paint also adheres very well to the figures.

Here is a list of the figures that are available in the new material:

Pirates - Powder Blue
Confederate Casualties - Gray
Woodland Indians - Gray
Union Casualties - Powder Blue
Civil War Camp Poses - Powder Blue
Barbary Coast Pirates - Gray
1805 US Marines - Powder Blue
Lewis and Clark Character Figures - Powder Blue

Due to the higher cost of the material being used, prices will be $20 for eight figures (single poses, no duplicates). Ron said depending on collectors' reception of these figures, he plans on making new figures for 2018.

Figures will be available at the Chicago Show this week, and will be added to the website soon after.

Best regards,

Jim

That is very good news.

Is there any plans to produce any accessories such as the pirate cannons, Columbiad Cannons or anything else?

I'm really not sure if he'll produce any of the accessories. Well he still has a lot of the small stuff, like bags, bundles, ropes, etc. I personally, would love to see him do more cannons!

Great news! Are there any pictures?

Would love to see Barzo release their castle walls again.

Woodland Indians (only ones I have so far).

These figures are as is out of the mold. No straightening of weapons required!

I think that will happen...

I see two pictures of 10 Indians each. Is this the configuration of each of two sets of the Indians.

Thank you Jim !

Great figures.

Look very good.$20 for 8 figures is not bad at all. I've seen smaller figures cost more.

No the photos don't show the configurations.

Great news!

Do you have any idea whether there are any plans to bring back the large foam castles and buildings too?

 

[Carnahan]

Awesome!

Ron fully intends on continuing the castles and medieval buildings (and possibly adding onto the line), IF he can get them manufactured. The place he has used for years is pretty much out of business.

 

[Denver]

Smaller, more affordable buildings would be useful.

Hi Jim,

I've only so far seen LOD have the Robinhood and newer Revolutionary figures for sale,

when/where do you think one can pickup the pirates / Marine sets / Indians etc outside of the Chicago show you mentioned?

will these be on the Barzso website or will they eventually be posted on LOD and their distributors?


thanks for any info
Dave

Hi Jim, I see that the Barzso website expired. Any news if Ron has his older sets restocked?

The website is back up, I hope he has some of the older sets restocked soon.
