I just got an e-mail from the Toy Soldiers Club in Canada and they announced that John Jenkins will be in Quebec in late October and he will announce The Collectors Club set #2 and will unveil a new range.

Sorry if I mislead anyone thinking I knew what the new range is.I should have titled it New Range to be announced.Sorry.

Thanks for the information Mark!

I'll guess something from the war in Europe.

New JJD range? Would love to see Seven Years War in Europe. Love that linear warfare. -- lancer

Thanks Mark. Any more guesses on the new line? It would be great if it is Ticonderoga or Bushy Run, but I am sensing that may not be in the cards - at least for now.
 
Hopefully John has taken on some additional sculptors? I can't imagine the poor guy starting yet another range when the Culloden and 1812 series are still so sparse and him being a one-man army? I don't think I'm anywhere near a full-on Highland charge yet, or a full British line. Same goes for 1812 - unless I want to repeat figures to fill it in. I did hear a while back about plans for artillery, cavalry etc. for both these ranges, so does a new line mean these will slow down? I don't blame the guy for wanting to move away from the BM or even the Quebec series now, but a whole new range? Hopefully Ticonderoga. At least stay within the FIW since so far he's the only one doing it all that well and in any depth? Cheers, ssorc1

Couldn't agree more....

poor guy....

the James Brown of sculpting....

"The Hardest Working Man in Show Biz"....

to turn out 8-12 figures a month...

every month like clockwork....

month in and month out...

now.....

throw in a couple of structures every couple of months...

I mean....John must log in some long hours at the sculpting table.

He is a one man dynamo for real.:eek:

True too....more 1812 (Brit side) St. Francis (both sides) and Jacobites (both sides) are needed.

Snow Shoes, B of M and Quebec are pretty much through....I think....except for some personal promises, some collector club figures and some celebrity figures.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a new series in the next 1/2 year or so.

I think he once told me it takes him around 2 years research before he feels comfortable duplicating the historical accuracy of uniforms....so maybe another 6 months or a year and I think we might see his next endeavor.

I dunno....he does work hard and could finish some series soon at his pace.
 
I hope he sticks with the French-Indian war era. That is a winner in my opinion. So much left to be done it could go on for a very long time. Hopefully John doesn't get bored with it. Maybe it is just me, but that era has a special appeal.

Doug....like we talked about before....he has grown a little tired and wants a challenge...I agree though...nobody does Indians like John and I prefer the stateside campiagns of the FIW.
 
I'm betting on Canadian Northwest Mounted Police--late 19th C
1. A favorite of John's--he collects RCMP
2. What better place to announce it than Canada in October
 
Perhaps John's new range will focus on 18th century India with the British East India company. I would also like to see a range on 18th century Spanish troops in Florida and the Carib.

I guess we find out this weekend what John has decided for the new line. Also the new collector figure. Hopefully someone will pass on the info from Quebec. :)

Doug....did John say he would announce a new line on his Canada/US trip?

If so........I really hope he stays within the stateside FIW campaigns...

Randy...I'm sorry...I don't think I would collect Canadian Mounted Police....

Beginning in 1868....they really weren't formed until 1920....pretty much after the 7 Years War.

They really don't push my buttons.

I really think he wants some closure to the 7 Years War anyway.

We will see.
