Re: New Zulus

20199 is an exclusive set from Sierra Toy Soldier Company. I think it is 20200.

Not a big deal, I think there has only been two re-releases, this one and a Natal Police. You also have to take into account that there are new collectors joining all the time who may not have previous sets nor need them.

Your right I meant 20200. actually Zulu. 20195 , 20196, 20197, 20198 issued about 18 months ago are also all re issues taken from other older sets
but I take your fair point about new collectors , and may not want or need the expensive older sets . I will shut up moaning at least 20200 will be a fresh paint standard like the other mentioned and in a box

Re: New zulu war

Thanks for the info.

I understand the disappointment and agree as we need new Zulu's but in this case I am pleased

I had to sell the Last shot set due to downsizing, but I liked that figure. I couldn't justify keeping the set for one figure.
Now I can get it so happy days. {sm4}

It would be good if others Zulus are sold single so you could use them with Rork's Drift rather than Isandlwana

Still need new ones though. Plus packs of spears

Rob

Agreed some accessory packs would be useful spears, shields , rifest , helmets , more open and closed ammunition boxes , kit etc etc

I think it’s time for a new Chard and Bromhead. The new paint style is so good these figures are looking dated in comparison.
we have had 3 Bournes and 2 Daltons the two lieutenants in new posses would be great.
also be good to have a Dunne figure for variety of uniforms.

anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks 'britfarmer', yes you could easily add me to that list of 'new-comers' to WBritains Zulu series. Been collecting mostly WW2 for years now, but always been very interested in this range.

Thanks to Brett in Brisbane and and a wee nudge from another Aussie collector I've recently taken the plunge......and so pleased I have. :salute::

There are some new releases listed on the website. Some Zulus and some 24th Foot. I have ordered a few from Brett at The Military Workshop

Re: New zulu war

I see on W Britains web site that a single random Zulu has been announced 20199
a casualty falling backwards , at first I was glad to see a new release
then I realised like the last batch of Zulu warriors its a re issue the original appearing in the Last shot Royal Artillery 20089
the re issue of Zulus continues to disappoint .

For those, who do not know, wanting more Zulus I see Thomas Gunn are releasing 3 new Zulu's this month, with 3 last month and a 24th flagbearer. plus there has been a number of Redcoats over the last few months.
