As most of you have already pointed out, we brought some special preview figures to the London show. Most notably, our SdKfz 251/3 Halftrack and Command figure as well as the next 8 new Retreat from Russia figures plus the 4 figure Sledge. Here are some close up images of these pieces with some additional detail regarding them.
SdKfz 251/3 - This will be released in our next batch of pre-orders most likely shipping middle of July. It comes with both the radio man in the back as well as a driver figure. The latter you can see his face from the front and his fully body in his chair when you look through the open top and back. The antenna can be removed which allows for placement of the new officer figure (or other figures not shown) in the rear. The rear 251 doors open and close though the officer can stand inside, another good display option is to open the rear doors and have the officer essentially instructing the radio man in the back as we displayed it at the show.
251/3 - Note the canteens on the side are brown, not the lighter DAK colors as shown here.

New Officer Figure - this figure will have two variants, one with hat as shown and a second with a covered helmet as per the figure on display at the show.
As for the retreat from Russia, we previewed the first 10 production figures along with the next 8 new figures for the range and the Russian Sledge. This should hopefully give all of you some idea of the level of commitment we have for doing the Retreat from Russia!
Here is a more detailed image of the sledge. To me, this piece encapsulates the range and can be used in conjunction with the rest of the figures or as a wonderful stand alone scene.
Retreat from Russia - Sledge with 4 figures. Driver, Cantiniere caring for wounded soldier, and Freezing soldier sitting on the rear. This last figure's expression really captures what this range is all about!
We hope you like the new products. The 251 and figures are due out soon, the sledge later this summer.
Best,
Matt
