As we have had excellent three figure sets of dead Germans and dead Brit Red Devils, could we have the same for the new US Rangers? I know there is the existing set of wounded GI's , but the dead bodies do add a realism to a scene and would add authenticity to an Omaha beach scene especially.

Cheers

Rob! How are you? Good to see you!
I agree, dead soldiers add a lot to any battle scene, and so few folks make them except for K & C, of course. Maybe they'll make some US Rangers in deceased poses in the future? I'm sure they'd sell very well.

Cheers!

Hey Joe! Good to see you too, I'm fine how are you doing?
I do agree mate, just add that reality to a scene.

A few years ago I remember have a conversation with a couple of collectors and manufacturers at the London Show, to be told that dead US soldiers just did not sell in US, collectors do not like them! But agree would be good, as would some new D Day Bits, Canadians and Germans.

T Gunn did a couple, which I have and do think are very good.

This is surprising to hear, I have been asking for them for as long as I have been collecting painted metal, 20 yrs.
I even had someone paint and convert some conte plastic to get somefor WW2. That was the nice thing about the Zulu lines, Britain's and Conte produced enough different poses that you could blend them with duplicates and get a lot of dead.
I do not care for the 1 to 2 casualties per 25 other action poses. It's unrealistic.

I agree, but looking at how many have been produced there does seem to be something limiting dead American troops from certain manufacturers?
