Dear All
Welcome to July 2015 releases which should be a hit with most collectors as hopefully we have something for everybody, it's also our 6th year in the business and therefore we have news of a special Anniversary Set also available which will be available next month.
The French Foreign Legion
FFL037 Standing Reload Arab with musket, the A version comes with a dark blue headdress whilst the B version wears white headdress.
Limited to 100 in number and priced at $40/£29.50 per figure.
FFL038 Lying down firing Arab once again with musket, the A version comes with a dark blue headdress whilst the B version wears white headdress.
Limited to 100 in number and priced at $40/£29.50 per figure.
The Great War
Inspired by the Charley's War pictorial story books we have issued 3 more British Tommys for this series;
GW049 A British Rifleman suitable for Autumn 1914/early 1915 takes aim at the enemy whilst lying down in the prone position, priced at $40/£29.50. The Winter B version comes with a sledge and is priced at $43.50/£32, both sets limited to 100 in number.
GW058 Standing Rifleman wearing a leather jerkin takes aim and is priced at $40/£29.50 per figure.
GW059 Kneeling Rifleman wearing a sheepskin jacket priced at $40/£29.50 per figure.
All the above figures come in an A version suitable for Western front 1914/15 and a B version suitable for Winter 1914/Russian Civil War with snow on the bases.
World War 2
Starting off in the Far East we will migrate steadily Westwards, read on for more details;
RS019/20 Two Charging Japanese Marines make a great addition to your Banzai charge, two more are set to follow in August along with an officer and a flag bearer in September. RS019 has no backpack please note whilst the RS020 version is more laden down.
So that you can buy multiples of what promises to be a very exciting diorama we have created an A and B version of the Banzai figures.
The A version comes in the traditional green Marine uniform with the B version Marine wearing a faded brown cap/khaki trousers with a green jacket for a little more variety.
To bolster the Japanese fighting forces we have also released a B version of two Japanese Marines that have sold out here recently and are as follows:
RS015B Standing Firing Japanese Marine wearing helmet.
RS016B Kneeling Japanese Marine wearing helmet.
All the above figures are priced at $40/£29.50 and are all limited to 100 in number.
LUFT 019 Erich 'Bubi' Hartmann playing cards with Theodor Weissenberger, two of the greatest aces of WW2 with over 550 victories between the pair. A little history below for those of you not familiar with these 2 pilots:
Hartmann (in the brown jacket) completed his fighter training in January 1942 and managed to rack up an amazing 352 kills, his last kill being a Soviet fighter on the 8th May, the very last day of the European war.
Earlier as the war drew to a close Hartmann was ordered to fly to the West to avoid capture by the Soviets, but refused as he had a deep attachment for his ground crew. This was despite him being newly married with a young son waiting for him at home.
Hartmann was handed over by the Americans to the Russians, who convicted Hartmann on trumped up war crimes. He was sentenced to 25 years in a Soviet Labour camp and suffered appalling treatment. Eventually the Russians tried to encourage Hartmann to join the fledgling East German Air force, but he refused and was eventually released in 1955. Hartmann joined the West German Air force but left in 1970 due to his concerns over the Lockheed Starfighter programme.
Hartmann died peacefully in his sleep aged 71 in 1993 and is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest fighter pilots of all time.
Our second figure Theodor Weissenberger was a Knights Cross recipient with over 200 aerial victories mainly flying on the Eastern Front but with over 30 victories on the Western Front, including 3 flying Fortresses in one day over Berlin.
Weissneberger flew a variety of aircraft including the ME 262 in which he claimed 8 of his victories.
After the war Weissenberger went onto become a racing car driver but was unfortunately killed in 1950 racing on the Nurnburgring circuit.
This beautifully painted set is limited to 100 in number and priced at $85/£69, a B version with 2 generic Luftwaffe officers in tropical gear is also available but limited to 50 sets worldwide.
LUFT020A Sinner Man! Rudi Sinner sweeps in for his latest kill whilst offering a light to a pretty young lady with a cigarette, could be occupied France, an airfield or the streets of Berlin.
LUFT020B the tropical version of the above set suitable for warmer climes or if you simply prefer your ladies in pink!
Rudi Sinner was born in Austria in 1915 and enlisted into the Austrian artillery in 1936 but transferred into the Luftwaffe in 1940.
He served in the Middle East before being posted back to the West where his final score stood at 39 kills in just over 300 missions.
Sinner was awarded the Knights Cross and survived the war despite serious injuries inflicted by USAAF Mustangs in April 1945 when they downed his ME 262.
Limited to 100 in the A version and 50 of the B version, these figures will look great in a diorama of your choice.
Priced at $79/£59
FJ020 Anniversary Set
Reminiscent of our very first set released 6 years ago but this time with better sculpting and painting! A two figure Fallshirmjager team man an MG42 in distinctive camouflaged Jump smocks and prepare to take on the enemy. Limited to 100 in the Normandy version, 50 of the Winter and also 50 of the Desert version being available.
These sets will be available next month as there were 1 or 2 quality issues which had to be addressed prior to shipping.
Preorder now to avoid disappointment!
Priced at $89/£65 for the set which represents great value for money for such a limited edition run.
Apologies for the delay in releasing this month but I hope you feel it was worth it and I certainly hope I can tempt you to spend some of your hard earned money on our products.
For those of you waiting for the FFL Artillery set you will be please to hear this has now been recast and will be making an appearance around September.
We have also put 2 vehicles into the planning stage and hopefully they will also be here before the year is out.

No messing around went for just about the lot. I always find TG figures make great additions to any dios you wanna create. Also love the Aussie and Japanese stuff. My only wish is that for the French Foreign Legion in Mexico they could do some opposition. Also would love to see some WW1 Russians, italians and Austro-Hungarians.
I may be waiting a long time I suspect!
can't beat that Saturday morning feeling of finally cracking open the parcel with the latest figures and perhaps the latest plane as well - accompanied by a bacon sarnie and cup of joe. Magic.
