Message to Ken Osen about W. Britians WWII Figures (1 Viewer)

[desk11desk12]

I spent the last 2 days at the Texas Toy Soldier Show to see old friends and specially to check out your latest WWII figure offerings. You see, I live in King & Country land here in San Antonio and owned plenty of their figures. However, I was very impressed with your latest USMC Korea War figure and had to see the latest W. Britains WWII in person.

I remain impressed and came away from the show buying twelve (12) new figures. Here’s why:

I love the scale (1/32)

I love the price ($36-38) per figure

Figure Detail (Big Improvement)- Heads match the bodies, gun, back packs, etc. seem perfectly proportional

Paint – Is great; Okay, First Legion is superior in paint & detail, but at twice the price

Great value and IMO can stand alone in their diorama theme or mixed to supplement your First Legion WWII figures because of similar scale.

Ken, you guys must bring these figures sooner to market like King & Country continually do.

Personally, I’ve always preferred this scale over 1/30 and 1/28. They can be easily mixed with First of Legion, Force of Valor,21st Century and your own future vehicles.

Good luck and much success,

Carlos

Carlos; per Ken Osen the Matte WB figures are 58 to 60mm. The size range is stated on their website. I have the WB Fallschirmjager and I agree with everything you say about the improved quality; but the figure size is the same as First Legion and Kronprinze, which is a good thing IMO. The WB figures are the perfect size for Figarti and Honor Bound armor, with which I have the Fallschirmjager displayed.

The WB Saxons are size compatible with Conte Romans and Barbarians and I use them as Goths in battle scenes. WB has come a long way in quality and value! Kudos to Ken.

Went to the Texas Toy Soldier show last weekend and had a Blast. The only disappointment was that Ken and Ericka were not able to make it. I Was looking forward to seeing them there. I sure hope W. Britain will be able to make the next one.
