While I appreciate the continuation of the Advent calendar nothing jumping out for me so far. Bring on the ancients.

Although a British command set like the Union ACW one would be fantastic.

Not much for me so far collecting wise. But i love seeing Johns beautiful drawings and collecting is not all about me. Its so exciting looking forward to the next drawing. I look at the bright side, if its something i collect then thats great. If its something i dont collect i get to see a great drawing, someone out there will be happy and i have just saved money. Win, win

Bit US range focused so far, but still interesting to see, i am waiting for WW2, Jacobites, Ancients, Saxons/Vikings, possibly a hint at new ranges.

Know some of the above have been halted or paused, but John has sneaked out a couple of new figures in these range, such as a new Viking Berserka [VIK008] and CQ-25 Conquistador with Becerrillo.

POW POW POW ! Here's another character who would fit perfectly into the fur trade... plus, perched on a mule, very original!
It's got a real vibe for me! Cheyennes, trappers... I'm waiting for Qadesh and antiquity!

Bridger was a trapper, explorer, and military guide...
During his adventures, he met many famous figures, such as:
Kit Carson (général, guide et explorateur), Thomas Fitzpatrick (trappeur),
the controversial George Armstrong Custer,
Hugh Glass (trapper),
William Cody (Buffalo Bill),
John Frémont (explorer officer),
Joseph Meek (mountain man and trapper),
John Sutter (founder in 1839 of the agricultural and trading colony of New Helvetia in California),
Peter Skene Ogden (Canadian trapper and explorer),
Jedediah Smith (trapper, mountain man, explorer and fur trader),
Robert Campbell (explorer, fur trader and Hudson's Bay Company employee) and William Sublette (trapper, fur trader, explorer and mountain man).
A monument is erected in his honor in Missouri.
James Bridger, 1804-1881, celebrated as a hunter, trapper, fur trader, and guide

In 1835, Bridger married a Flathead Indian woman whom he named Cora, and they had three children.

After her death in 1846, he married the daughter of a Shoshone chief, who died in childbirth three years later.

In 1850, he married the daughter of Shoshone Chief Washakie, and the couple raised two more children.
