Hi Shannon,

This looks cool and it's FM30 (1/30). Have you seen this yet and when will this be available for order and shipment? I hope its well before Christmas.

This will look great with the free gift that Figarti gave to all of those that attended their luncheon in Chicago.

Thanks,

Carlos

I was hoping to have this set for XMAS and in my Bastogne/Bulge display but things remain all quiet on the Western and or Eastern Front for now...

That's a great figure, I really miss out not being able to go cross country for these big shows, but the bottom line for me to get that figure it would become probably about a $1000.00 figure with all the expenses!
Ouch!

Very nice figure indeed. I was lucky enough to get #60 out of the 60 at the luncheon.

Historical trivia - probably more likely Christmas 1942 in Africa, or 1943 in Italy or England. The figure from the luncheon and the fellow with Santa are wearing M1942 jump uniforms. Few, if any, of these would have been still in use at the Bulge. The tree airborne divisions in the ETO had received a full issue of M1943 uniforms (which was probably warmer in the winter).

Still VERY nifty figures.

Gary you are really a bit of a whizzkid with your knowledge of American uniforms and equipment. Thank you for sharing these pieces of info with us. I for one do appreciate the insight.
