Hi
Wayne appears to be missing in action, so here you go!!
Dear All,
Welcome to our Christmas 2012 edition of dispatches; let’s hope you get everything on your wish list from Santa!
GC012 Rommel kicks off this months release as one of our last Gunn Club figures in the current format, more news to follow next year. Rommel started off his military career during WW1 in France. He later saw action in Romania and Italy and was awarded both classes of Iron Cross and Prussia’s highest award Pour Le Merite, for his part in the capture of a large Italian force at Mount Matajur.
Rommel was wounded 3 times during the war but survived the conflict to later rise to fame as the Desert Fox in WW2. This worthy adversary of the Allies committed suicide in 1944 after being implicated in the failed July attempt to assassinate Hitler.
Our A version comes with Rommel in a privately purchased sheepskin coat aiming his Luger as he goes into action and the B version comes with Rommel wearing his gas mask. Either version should enhance your WW1 range very nicely! Available now and priced at $32 with each version limited to 120 pieces.
ATW007 Bar Gunner giving you more firepower to your Airborne troops! Firing from the prone position our A version wears the famous screaming eagle insignia of the 101st Airborne and the B version sports the unit markings of the 82nd Airborne.
Priced at $33, available now with 120 of each version available.
ATW009 ‘Shush’ was inspired by a scene from the film ‘The longest Day’ in which a US Paratrooper lands inside the greenhouse of an old lady during the early hours of the Normandy campaign. As a child I always used to laugh when the Paratrooper put his finger to his lips and whispered ‘Shush’ which seemed to frighten the old lady no end, before she scurried back inside!
We have modified our version with 2 young French girls instead of an old lady,
who have just come across a Paratrooper as he dashes off to find his comrades.
The A version comes with the US soldier wearing a helmet and the markings of the 82nd Airborne (ATW!) and the B version comes with our soldier sporting the uniform markings of the 101st Airborne and a Mohican haircut! Available now and priced at $64 with each version limited to 120 pieces.
GW/LOA005 Stokes Mortar Set features two Allied soldiers launching another round towards the German Lines. Our GW version is suitable for somewhere in France with two Tommie’s in soft caps, the LOA versions will be suitable for a Middle East setting. The A version of our LOA set features for the first time Ghurkha soldiers who appear to be giving the enemy hell! Lawrence of Arabia used Ghurkha and Indian army soldiers in his raids against the Turks, it therefore seemed fitting to include these elite fighting troops in our latest release. The B version features British troops in Pith hats also giving the Turks hell! Priced at $75 each set, limited to 100 of each version and available now!
GW/LOA006 Allied Officer WW1 A super looking figure that can be used in any number of dioramas. Will definitely look the part kneeling next to our earlier Hotchkiss MG team or new Stokes Mortar set. The GW version is titled Australian officer Western Front and wears the uniform indicative for an Aussie officer serving on the front line during that period. Moving East our LOA A version figure wears a Pith hat with tropical dress and our final LOA B version wears the uniform and headdress of the now famous Light Horse Regiment. Each piece limited to 100 of each, priced at $32 and available now. The Light Horse version has already been heavily pre-ordered and I would recommend an early reservation if you require this figure.
NAP022 features a pair of French Napoleonic infantry marching forward with rifles in the shoulder. Once again we have 3 versions with the A version being Napoleon’s famous imperial Guard, our B version wear grey coats and our C version are all in Brown. Limited to 65 sets, priced at $64 for a two figure set and available now. NAP021 was one of our fastest ever selling releases so don’t miss out on these guys!
More troops in greatcoats will follow in 2013 so even more to look forward to.
What’s coming next month? Well our A7 German tank which was previewed in London and a new set of British Paratroops will be available in January 2013. So If I don’t speak to you before Christmas have a great holiday and enjoy some quality time with your families and your toy soldiers!
