Glencoe 1/32nd figures coming soon for uk customers (1 Viewer)

Hi
UK collectors might want to check the Hannants website as they show some upcoming/future releases in 1/32 by Glencoe and others - check their future releases in 1/32nd scale and select Figures(injection).

The Glencoe US and Japanese are good sets and easy to paint - not seen the Pirates set before though?

Regards
Dave

I hope that Glencoe puts more effort into quality control! Years ago I bought a Glencoe recast set of Marx Marines and they were full of casting errors/flaws.

Considering their other products of which I am familiar I would imagine they are recasts of the 54mm Marx Pirates. Nice figures.

I bought sets of "Glencoe" Marines and Japanese some 20 or so years ago and found them to be great recasts of the Marx figures in nice flexible plastic; the molds were still in pretty good shape so there was a minimum of flash or distortion.

A few years ago I bought a couple more boxes of each. The Marines were still pretty good but the Japanese I received were a bit more brittle plastic and there were some broken bayonets and such; nothing major so most are still usable. It was more trouble to return so I kept them figuring I could use them somehow.

Glencoe recasts Ideal Pirates,not Marx. Just one Marx pose added.

Dave,
You should know that these were available over here for years, not that they were any good then. I stocked them and couldn't give them away. At that time, they were poor quality re-issues of the Marx WWII figures with more 'sink' or 'blow' holes in the plastic than a colander!

They appeared again, here, a few years back and no-one touched them.

At best, they are 50mm - possibly 52mm - but no more.

It's a shame as they were great figures, just poorly produced.

These look like midgets next to Conte/TSSD/Austin WWII figures.

I don't see any future for them in the U.K.

At one time CTS had recast of the MARX Marines and Japanese in a nice soft plastic. I have some of the Japanese and they are very nice. I don't know if they still make them like that.
