First Legion - The American Revolution (3 Viewers)

[Andanna]

Matt caught at least me by surprise with this new line:

54mm American Revolution: Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill.

Tremendous new line. Thank you, Matt. Great Choice.

not my cup of tea.
but very nice.

That was a surprise, not many guesses for the rev war on the poll. They do look impressive!

What a surprise. This range looks great. The future holds great promise for the minutemen and the British Army that will follow. Perhaps a Bunker Hill redoubt as well? -- lancer P.S.- that guy in the corner looks a lot like Mel Gibson.

 

[jazzeum]

Well, that surprised me. They do look quite spectacular. Can't wait to see what some of the personality figures may look like. This may be something I may want to get involved with. Can't wait for the pre-orders. Nice job Matt

Yes, he does, doesn't he?

I remember read something that First legion has not an American series-lines YET, I was expecting Civil War, so this catch me by surprise. Not interested at all on this epoca Time, but still wonderful painting job, really good painting.

Cheers.

WOW, very impressive detail and another line with horses and muzzle loaders. Well so it is to be a “mutual pledge of our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor” to redress “a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably … a design to reduce … under absolute Despotism”.

Boy, just look at these faces. I can hardly wait to see them in closeups.

Congratulations Matt; no wonder you have been scarce lately. By the way, I get the I am a centurion lover" clue now; it is an anagram. Imagine, it was right there in front of our faces.

Yes, apparently you're the only one....

For the unitiated.........

"I am a Centurion Lover" is an extremely clever (if i do say so myself!) anagram for "American Revolution". So the clue was real and it really was right there in front of you all!

I just may be buying First Legion figures again. These do look very nice! Matt what will the price be on these figures?

WOW! Nicely done Matt - This is a really good reason for me to start collecting an AWI series. I'm liking it very much.

A great series no doubt, the detail again is outstanding, I'm strictly a WWII guy but these boys really make me think about another line.

but now the new line has been announced, time for more WWII!!!!!!!!!!!...Sammy

Any personality figures in either Matt?

It's too early to discuss specifics of the range. All I can say at this point is that we'll treat it like our other ranges, which means we'll go long and deep. We definitely don't make the most ranges, at least not yet, but when we do a range we're pretty good about sticking with it.

Thanks; fair answer. Would it be a stretch to say that these won't be available until at least July 4?

July 4th would have some nice synergy, but they'll be available before then. Pre-order in May, shipping June.

Matt-
I can't tell you how exciting it is to see this as the new range! I had hoped it would be, but wasn't convinced it would happen. The American Revolution is what got me into toy soldiers. Now I can collect my favorite time period with figures from the best manufacturer. It is truly the best of both worlds! Thank you very much. Bring on the preorder!

Matt,
Must say these figures are very impressive!
In the light of the political situation in this country today I find it quite timely. The words you quote , I believe in the bedrock of my soul and are being disregarded as "out of touch" today. You may be pulling me back in!
Ray

Please, please people, I'm not trying to turn this into a political discussion it's just that these figures REALLY strike a cord with me today.
If this statement turns or ruins this thread please pull it.
