Hello Plastic General,
for the second or the third time, I tell you that I'm not Alex, I'm not even Russian, I'm French (6228 kilometers between the two countries or 3870 Milles)
The first name of Bassevitch is Igor (not Alex... who the #*! is Alex).
Igor Bassevitch makes toy soldiers under the name of "Engineer Bassevitch".
If I have some photos, it's because a Russian member of my forum (http://soldatplastique-1-32.forumgratuit.org/forum) is a friend of Igor Bassevitch and Pvblivs (I remind you that they are not the same person and not the same toy soldiers makers) and warns me when there is a new release in Russia.
This Russsian forum member has a webstore here: http://www.toysoldiers.spb.ru/toysoldiers/1stpage.htm

And no, there is no Tito among the partisans because they are Russian "partisans of the great Patriotic War"...
What else?

The figures look great, and I'd love to add them to my collection at some point in the future.

I have a question. There have been several Russian releases recently.... Is there a strong toy soldier collector's market there? Or is it a pretty small, adult oriented market as in the United States? Or are these manufactured for children as toys rather than as adult collectibles?

Just curious, thanks for the updates and pictures!

In regards to the above sets the only one I know who will get them is Steve Weston from the UK. Now I have contacted him in regards to payment and a credit card will do. Here is my question, how do I securly give him my credit card info, there is nothing on his web site for ordering. I don,t want to send that info via an email. I guess I could call but how much would a phone call from St Louis to the UK be, I don,t have a clue? Any other ideas?

send the CC number in a separate series of emails.

A phone call to a UK land line from the US is a few cents, a couple of dollars at most - google it if you want an exact cost. It will be a tiny proportion of what you are going to spend on plastic toy soldiers!!!

If you have Skype it is very cheap to call a line in the U.K. I suppose you could do the same with google talk, but never tried it.

I wish Engineer Bassevitch would defect/immigrate/move to the west...I mean I am sure Russia is great and all, this would be for my own selfish reasons. Here's a question, does the Engineer have less expensive production costs for making plastic figures? This assumes of course he has the figures produced in China like most other makers, and secondly assumes he doesn't incur overseas transportation costs like most other makers. The Engineer's figures get better with each set he does...I just wish we could scoop them up here at a reasonable price!

Just to be nit-picky, it was an ice AXE {sm4}

I agree. They seem to be sticking with Russian history. It would be nice if we had an American maker who would fill the gaps in our history like WW1, Korean War and Vietnam.

 

[Plastic General]

I love all the Russian WWII gaps finally getting filled.
I always had 3 Soviet "Dream Sets" that I wished someone would release and the PARTISANS were one of them!
Still waiting for the other 2 and I'll bet Eng. Bass. will do them!
* SIBERIAN WINTER ASSAULT TR. (in winter white Camo)
* SOV. ASSAULT ENGINEERS in BODY ARMOR
