Thanks again to Rick, Peter and Jason for a fantastic show! It's very good to hear that Figarti has "re-focused" their overall effort and have reaffirmed their commitment toward not only innovation but improvement. Rick unequivocally stated that the paint issues are over and a thing of the past. He also reiterated that Figarti stands behind their products, and should a problem arise, they will take care of it w/ no questions asked. The Red Bull advancing sets are very nice; very well sculpted and painted. I was unable to pick them up because I simply ran out of funds, but I do plan on getting them all. I did finally get my hands on a Churchill AVRE though, and she is a beauty:smile2:. The forthcoming Panzer IV is an absolute knockout as is the other German truck Rick unveiled and is pictured below. Sorry if any of the pics are poorly shot, blurry, etc...no real selection process here....I'm just throwing up raw images from the show for everyone to enjoy. What great time it was! The first pic is of the show figure, and this is the best show figure I have ever been lucky enough to receive. Thank you again to the whole Figarti team. Enjoy the pics

This is a very nice looking 5" gun that is part of the Wake Is. Hobby Bunker exclusive series. Rick said this beauty of a gun has never been produced before in any scale, and she sure is a cracker! I believe he said the set will be available for pre-order very soon (I think he said it's actually in transit from China now). The set comes w/ two possibly three figures too...I'm not certain just how many, but the gun is REALLY impressive (or did I already say that?:tongue.

Joe,

Once again many thanks for taking the time to post your photos and your thoughts. I have been looking forward to the latest Figarti releases, as it has been a little quiet of late. Good news re the Red Bull advancing sets and the Panzer IV … I think they will be on my hit list for sure. Any news emanating from the show WRT the Figarti/Aeroart collaboration? Alby

It was stunning to see The Victory in the flesh....what an unbelievable undertaking this must have been! Here are a few pics of her and her crew. Oh, almost forgot to mention that Rick said he has received numerous requests from collectors who would like to buy the 40 figures that come w/ the set. But he said the figures are only available with the ship. He said if Figarti was to only sell ten boats, then only ten 10 forty pc. figure sets would ever be made. But he did also say that Figart will be producing a new figure range for the Victory featuring 40 all new figures, all of whom will be in battle poses! He said some of these 40 fighting figures will once again only be available to individuals who have previously purchased the ship but that "subsets" will be created for some of the fighting figures and will be made available to all (including those who have not bought the ship). Exact numbers of how many figures will be exclusive to boat buyers and how many will be made available for general release has yet to be determined. I know you've seen the pics from Chicago others so generously shared, but here are a few more w/ some closeups on the figures.
