Figarti New Releases (1 Viewer)

[desk11desk12]

Hi Rick:

I'm into WWII Pacific in a big way now. I have your US Marines and they're great. I'm also aware of a couple of big time WWII Pacific War (e.g. Flags of our Father) are coming out late summer this year.

KC is planning to come out with some Japanese figure sets. Is Figarti planning to take advantage of the timing of these movies this year and come out with new US Marines as well? If so, can you share specifics with us yet?

I think you mention a M8, is that still in the works?




Thanks,

Carlos

I was cruising on there website and I found these pictures of new releases and I wonder if you guys know about them already.

I know about the new Honey and the crew of four, with the base.

Oops, the tent isn't new, its been around for 9 months already. Sorry about that.

I think they're just making 150 of the Honey and a certain amount of customers are getting the base for free. This was shown in more detail in Steven Chong's thread about his visit to the factory.

Figarti is only making 150 sets of this Honey with crew, but EVERYONE who purchases this set gets the base for free.

Figarti has finally sent us pricing on the new Figarti sets, so they are available on our web site:

They did not mention the free base - but we have asked them about it and will post the 'official' answer.

We also expect the July releases to be here any day. It's taken them nearly 2 months in transit, but they are finally in the states! We'll keep you posted.

Can someone who knows tell me the difference between these two types of tanks. These unititiated eyes are not seeing it.

 

[Peter Reuss]

I just heard from Figarti that of you order B3215 (WWII UK M3 Honey Light Tank B) and B4045 (WWII British Tank Troops B) at the same time and receive D9021 (Road Sign Base) for free!

We have revised our web site to reflect that change.

Figarti has also announced that they are only making 60 of B3216 - the European version of the Honey. We expect these to go quickly!

How many bloody versions of the Stuart is Figarti going to make? How about another tank? Perhaps a German tank?

 

[jazzeum]

I had thought the second Honey was the last one but I guess not.

I'm sorry that your no longer going to make the Stuart. I think it was the product that got Toy Soldiers Collectors looking at you company. This was the tank that severed in just about every combat area in WWII.

 

[jazzeum]

Yeah, but how many can you make?

 

[RWFigarti]

No worry guys, we got more tanks planned, and will bring something NEW to Chicago this year!

Can you tell us which theater?

Loew's

 

[Louis Badolato]

How about a Sherman in the markings of Probyn's Horse from the Burma Campaign under Slim? That would be something!

 

[Chuck Harris]

Yeah, but how many can you make?

Well Brad, there's about 9 or 10 more I want all with different unit marking & model revisions. I would liked to have one done with Japanese's markings used on the ones they captured and used against us.

You are trying to rain on my parade again, stop picking on this old man.
Could be I can get Rick to redo one for me with the Japanese marking.
