Israeli Para / Sniper (1 Viewer)

Really love the action poses, it started out as being a great range. Real glad that its continuing to do so. Thanks Andy from all of us, that likes this range!!!
 
Not my particular area of interest but great figures!

Currently a bridge too far for me, but this series is expanding quickly and coming up with some great and interesting poses. Glad to see so many getting into this series, should make for some excellent diorama's in the future. Andy is sure putting his resources behind this. A Centurion tank would be on my list. Robin.

I can't wait to do a diorama of either the Temple Mount or Ammunition Hill.

Talking of diorama possibilities...What about 'The Golan Heights' or even the Sinai..?
Lots of potential all over the Middle East wherever the IDF was deployed during those six amazing days!
Best wishes and happy collecting, Andy.

Hi Andrea,
Believe me when I tell you I am not 'annoyed' in any way...Both figures you show from theDel Prado and Hachette series were sculpted by the same sculptor who has been working on the new 'Six-Day War' figures...
On the 'Arab' oppositition you might have to wait until a wee bit later in the year because the additional Israeli Paras featured here will be released first!
Once again, a very big Thankyou to yourself and other collectors for their enthusiastic support of this exciting new series. Best wishes and happy collecting, Andy.

I so love the reception to these figures! I was curious how well they'd do and it seems that it's being answered positively!
Many thanks to Andy for creating my favorite K&C line ever!

Thanks once more Zach...Although I still love WW2 and our other series I find it's so refreshing creatively to explore a particular war, period and part of the toy soldier world that has not, as far as I know, been 'over-fished by other makers...
I have always been modestly proud of the fact that K&C has from time to time ventured into 'less travelled' toy soldier paths that others have either shown no interest in or simply forgotten about.

Israel's Middle Eastern Wars are a rich vein of interest for me personally and , I am delighted to say , a growing number of collectors!

Best wishes Zach and our other IDF enthusiasts, Andy.
 
Andy, have you thought of trying to find a dealer in Israel? Not only would LOJ and the 6 Day War series sell quite well to Israelis and tourists, but I am sure some other series would be popular in Anglo and Russian Jewish communities. I can picture a shop in the Old City already!

I have heard a rumour that Zach is quitting his law practice to emigrate to Israel and open his own wee toy soldier store on the Mount of Olives...Sounds like a good idea to me!!!
All the best, Andy.

Thanks for share the two isreali soldiers produce by KC....the are really good.

You have a figure from Del Prado´s "Men at War", a Sergeant of the Jordan Arab Legion, wich could give you a good ideia of what could be the oposition that KC will dispatch in a near future....

I have just purchased it..i'm waiting for it..even if i think the jordanians will be similar..Andy just wrote that we'll see egyptians (with a sand coloured uniform) and syrians first
 
While I agree that sometimes figures without bases can and do work I wanted, in this particular instance, to retain the base.
Some later releases WILL dispense with the bases especially 'tank riders and other fighting vehicle passengers...But this particular guy will retain his as will a few others I will post shortly.

Incredible piece!

Thanks for your thoughts guys, Andy.[/QUOTE]
