King and Country in the near future. (1 Viewer)

Hello, this is my first time writing on the forum. I have always loved treefrog treasures because:
1. Cheap prices
2. Because TFT seems like they are always the first to post pictures of new releases. And that is where my question is about.

Does anyone one have any idea what future releases are coming up this next 6 or so months?

Thanks

and one other question for the admins. of Treefrog. Why dont you sell Conte figures?
thanks again

Speaking for World War II, K & C is coming out with BofB Americans in November, which I believe will be followed by a special British Sherman in December (UK only) and January or so in the USA. Then in January, Afrika Korps will be coming out, with 8th Army in March.

On non-WW II, I think Napoleonics are coming out later this year. Probably Andy could better address some of the future releases.

Welcome to the forum.

At OTSN Andy also indicated Rev. War U.S. Marines and more indians. And don,t forget the Barbarians.

Jazzeum, I'm sure you must be excited about the upcoming Afrika Korps releases. I hear there will be a Rommel in a staff car set. Your search may just be over.

Victory, I hadn't heard that but here's hoping you're right. Beats spending $300, that's for sure.

In regards to the question of why Treefrog Treasures doesn't sell Conte, we have several reasons, the main two being:

1) We are full to the rafters with soldiers here and if we added a line as large as Conte we would have to trade our furniture for boxes of soldiers because there wouldn't be any other place to put them.
And
2) We run a family-oriented website where we hope parents will be comfortable letting their young collectors roam freely. Conte products aren't always "family-friendly" (their female pirates are an excellent example) so we simply don't carry them.

 

[jazzeum]

I assume you're saying that the Conte female pirates are showing some anatomical parts? Not that I'm asking you to do this but isn't it possible to be selective about what lines of a particular manufacturer you may want to carry?

Hi Andy,

I was at Hobby bunker this weekend and saw some of the Indians made by K&C and Conte. Please omitt the gloss finish from your Indians, it just does not work. A matt finish, would look more realistic, and blend in with your AWI figures. That is one advantage that conte has over your product.

Please drop the gloss.
Just my 2cents.

When Andy previewed the Indians in my store back in March, he specifically spoke about the glossy finish as representing the grease they coat themselves in before going into battle. It's a historical detail which seems to be neglected conte and frontline.
