KING & COUNTRY DISPATCHES
October 2025
October 2025
Hi Guys,
Welcome to one and all as I prepare once more to head off to the U.S. of A which is still, I’m happy to say, ‘The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave’…
First stop will be Dallas and then on to San Antonio to spend some time with K&C’s cofounder Laura Johnson and The King & Country Texas store along with our great local store manager, Amber. If you ever have the opportunity to visit San Antonio be sure to drop by K&C Texas at 5945 Broadway, San Antonio… you won’t regret it!
From Texas I fly on to North Carolina to meet up with one of our top K&C collectors who commissioned us to produce a unique series of figures in the dress parade uniforms of one of America’s leading military colleges, The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina also known as The South Carolina Corps of Cadets.

On this trip I will be visiting The Citadel with my collector friend who actually attended the college back in the day. Charleston itself of course is a very historic city so I will also be looking to visit some of the famous sites in that fair city.
From Charleston my friend and myself will move on to Atlanta to meet up with another mutual toy soldier buddy and see his amazing collection.
Finally, after a couple of days in Atlanta I will fly back to Dallas to take my return flight to Hong Kong and that will be that… all in about two weeks or so.
However, before all of that there is all of this…
1. BEING RELEASED IN OCTOBER…
“Coming In On A Wing And A Prayer”
Back in 2024, ‘Masters of the Air’, an American war / drama series was released on Apple TV. It followed the actions of the 100th Bomb Group, a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bomber unit of the Eight Air Force based in the U.K. during WW2.
Produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg who made ‘Band of Brothers’ and ‘The Pacific’ this aviation series was inspirational and I was truly inspired!
Among the figures we produced were the more recent USAF Ground Crew figures and now these two guys…

AF050 “Welcome Back!” (2x figure set)
On the left is Captain Clark Gable, who served in the Eight Air Force and actually flew a number of combat missions over enemy territory during the war. In this set, he’s obviously on ground duties and meeting a B-17 Pilot who has just landed his bullet-riddled plane after a deadly daylight bombing mission somewhere over Germany in 1943 or ’44.

AVAILABLE: Mid October
