New FFL Figures. Future Releases (3 Viewers)

[Barkmann]

Just saw the new FFL figures - MG Gunner, Flagbearer and 2 Granadiers. With the 8 figures already released and i hear there will be an artillery piece as well, means this range is becoming a great series with loads of diorama possibly, especially when the enemies arrive later in the year.

Got this via the T Gunn newsletter,

Yes these will spice up things. Appreciate seeing them, cheers. Robin.

 

[Horus]

Yeah ... Not for me , too post Beau Geste !

The flag bearer will still fit in I m sure Steve! Some mounted camel FFL towards the end of the year - very Gary Cooper!

Yes I got the first figures but these do look post Beau Geste. I thought they were suppose to be cica 1890's .

The Flag bearer and grenadiers will both fit in with the 1890's era, the grenade shown was first issued in 1847 so will fit in with the Beau Geste period. The Chauchat is obviously later but we did make a prone Chauchat gunner and a Hotchkiss MG team last time and both sold very well.

Yeap the Kepi hats should be a lot less 1/3 of it
The Laurel and Hardy are correct

The 'Kepi's' have now been reduced in height, another crisis averted!
We have been looking at making the next batch with different shaped Kepis and some other alterations to the standard uniform. If anybody has any ideas they would like implemented, please message us here.

It depends on what enemies you are planning to produce. If 1890's Sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar, Tonkin then they should be in sun helmets.

Great idea, maybe Tom may use that for future figures?

Collectors seem to prefer the Kepi version rather than the sun helmets, at the moment we will be sticking with the Kepi.
