Hi Guys,

We have just released two brand-new club figures: OTTO SKORZENY & HAMISH "Mad Jock" MacTAVISH

Hope you like them!

Happy Collecting!

CF024 -- SS-Obersturmbannfuhrer OTTO SKORZENY

Obersturmbannfuhrer (Lt. Col.) Skorzeny served with the Waffen SS during WW2. After action on the Eastern Front he became famous for leading a successful rescue mission to free the deposed Italian dictator Benito Mussolini from captivity on a mountain top in Italy.

Skorzeny also led “Operation Greif” in which English – speaking German soldiers wearing American uniforms spread panic and confusion behind U.S. lines during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944.

Our K&C Club figure has him wearing Luftwaffe uniform as he appeared on the Mussolini rescue mission on September 12, 1943 He died in 1975.

New Club Figures

Only seems like five minutes since Slim and Lawrence. Love the Skorzeny figure the Mad Jock may raise a fewe eye brows if only to put the monical back in!:eek:
 
CF025 -- Lieutenant Colonel HAMISH “Mad Jock” MacTAVISH

“Mad Jock” MacTavish (1876 – 1982) was born into a family of famous Scottish soldiers. His great grandfather raised his own regiment “The Agile & Suffering Highlanders” to fight in the Americas during the Revolutionary War.

“Mad Jock” himself was commissioned into another of the family’s regiments “The Queen’s Own Scottish Murderers” in 1895. He saw extensive service during the Boer War… the Great War…and the North West Frontier.

Our K&C Club figure shows him as he appeared whilst serving with the regiment in the Khyber Pass in 1935. During the Second World War he commanded a battalion of the Home Guard… “The Auchenshuggle Volunteers”.
After War Service he emigrated to the Falkland Islands to run a sheep farm.

He was killed while attacking an Argentinian armoured personell carrier with his walking stick during their ill-fated attempt to capture the Falklands in 1982.

A brave soldier to the end!

Apart from the figure of Skorzeny at the Gran Sasso Raid..i like the idea of fiction figures like this "Mad Jock"..hope they 'll be available soon...and they could be a test for 2 new ranges (Gran Sasso Raid and NW Frontier )

Yes indeed.I'm wondering if the General Slim figure was also a hint?.

Was Jock not played by Windsor Davies in the docudrama of his life!
 
Brilliant! Was going to place an order this week... now will have to include both of these, even though they are a bit out of place in my SOHK collection.

Where are the other six Dwarfs?.....:D
 
I just sent Elsa an e-mail extending my membership and ordering both the Bill Slim and "Mad Jock" MacTavish figures . . . the Kings Own Scottish Murderers . . . priceless!:p:D
 
ARGGGHHHH !

I just ordered the other CC figures that I was behind on - looks like another order is going to have to be made !
 
I got the club figures today. Mad Jock is the most obese K&C figure made up to date. I had it placed side by side to Herr Goring and he's twice as big.
