New Brochure - USMC (1 Viewer)

Happy New Year Brendan,

Although I may be a "BIT" bias towards these sets ... :tongue: ... I consider the new K&C USMC series one of the best ever -- Sculpted, Designed and Produced and delivered.

It appears that this series has many legs and a (hopefully) long life. The possibilities for figures and vehicles are endless. Add to this the abundance of new K&C Japanese sets (JN) and you have a tremendous opportunity to create powerful dioramas and scenes.

I have been, mainly, a 18th / 19th century collector (K&C AWI, JJD FWI/1812), but when these sets appeared I was hooked at first sight. ^&grin.
Now, I am loving the JN series, the USN series as well as this new USMC sets, all somewhat connected.

It appears that the collector acceptance has been tremendous so I don't think you should resist the temptation any longer.

"GIVE IN TO THE FORCE, LUKE. COME TO THE DARK SIDE"
We have K&C USMC sets!!!

ENJOY!

Thanks Larry! Happy New Year to you as well. Like you, I principally collect JJD's War of 1812 series and K&C's Napoleonics. I have a small sampling of figures from other eras as well. I've been thinking about delving into some new subject matter and this seems to be the most likely choice. The sculpts and painting are just fantastic.

Cheers,

Brendan

Hi Chris,
You've probably read most, if not all, of my correspondence on this particular point....

As the figures stand right now they are great 'action' figures at a 'great value' price... Once you start changing 'this'...adding on 'that'...the central dynamic changes too and ...so does the price!!!

Let any additions come naturally and gradually...Don't force it!
Best wishes,
Andy.

Andy..good day!
In keeping with avoiding the use of the bayonet ala the U.S. in the ETO and of course the Army
without same in their frontal attacks on bayonet equipped Japs in the movie"Hacksaw Ridge",
Marine policy (and survival due to much hand-to- hand combat) dictated the use(and training)
of ye'old pigsticker.
I'll keep 'em comin'.

P.S. Britains entering the metal PTO fray? Mercy sakes!

Have a great day!
Randy

Think the WB Marine is just one for their Jack Tars and Leathernecks collection, so you'd be waiting a heck of a long time for releases of WW2 marines in action poses other than standing or walking, though they did do a WW2 Marine Raider quite a few years ago for their Museum collection but even that wasn't what you could call a real action pose. I may be wrong but I think Ken of WB did say a few years ago that at that time they had no plans for doing a PTO figures range because of the brutality of the conflict there. They'd not match up figure size with K&C anyway.
