New WB Series Debuts in Michigan (1 Viewer)

Thanks for the links including all the info, Randy!
Much appreciated.
 
These are very nice looking figures and buildings. I might have to go back and watch some of these films again now. Any other sneak peaks or new item spottings from WB in Michigan today?

Those are nice figures. The building are nice as well, they may have other uses come to think of it.
 
I hope the Shephaerd and Sheep set will be continued with an additional set of just sheep. What kind of a shedherd would he be if he only has one sheep.

King's Man
 
Well... There are three different poses at the moment, with another sheep pose and a dog coming from my bench soon. The sheep will probably come as a set and the herder and the dog will be another set.
...And by the way Britfarmer, this was inspired by your comment about sheep in Ole England. After dragging out my motley collection of hollow cast sheep I thought...that is just the kind of thing we need!
Now for some cows...

Don't forget the Zulu Cattle for the Lt., 1879fanatic, plasmapulse, GICOP. britfarmer, etc.
 
Hey...one at a time eh?
Really, thanks everyone. Alan and I have been working hard to add to the attackers and defenders at the Drift for all of you AZW enthusiasts. Richard and I are always considering what to add to the range and the cattle have come up from time to time.
Maybe...
 
Here are a couple more views of the Inn for you. I can think of several uses for this, and the other buildings that will be appearing in this range.
RedLionInn2-1.jpg

As a note, the 'Red Lion' and 'The George' are the most common names for inns in eighteenth and nineteenth century England.
RedLionInn1-1.jpg

The building is a bit more than a facade at 5 1/2" deep. I like to carry the roof to just past the ridge if possible even if it is selectively compressed. Notice the large chimney of brick and stone. This would accommodate fireplaces on both the first and second floors. There are a few gaps in the walls in these images as this is the painted master model and it was not glued together.
RedLionInn3.jpg

This shows the 'L' shaped area to display figures entering or exiting either door...or looking in the large window. This also lends to the illusion that it is a full building, and will add to the interest when setting up a street with the other elements.
All of the other items will appear in a March flyer.

Joining in with a Hey I don't need cows or bulls added to both my British and Zulu Regiments. They make lousy mounts for Calvary, can't conduct a defensive battle and only if you have a herd of them to cause a stampede would they be effective in an attack. Another point they'd take up space in my kaaral which needs defending.

Now Ken I have a special request would you be good enough to lend Ericka a hand in preparing the show photos of the members of both the British and Zulu Regiments that made their appearance at the show. Your humble servant....The Lt.

Fame at last LOL :D Looks like I will have to get that set. I didn't realise that was a pub. I can just see the shepherd strolling past with his flock, or perhaps a nice grouping of mounted fox hunters quenching their thirst. The possibilities are endless with this one Ken.
 
Oh yes and we do need some oxen.......pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease (you already have the wagon :D )

Sorry, I don't get it. While Britains Napoleonic collectors are awaiting important additions such as artillery, mounted cavalry, Prussians, etc. - What do we get ? - Jane Austin. I would have thought this was a joke if I didn't see the pictures.

At a time that WB are making short runs of figures and taking up to 6 months to restock some popular sets, a new line such as this, along with buildings seems to be stretching things a bit thin.

As the new catalogue is not out yet how do you know that your needs will not be met? This a new series. The forum only has a small pocket of collectors (mostly North American). This could potentially be a huge addition and get spouses collecting together. I think it will do well and is superb.

Dear Dragoon,
If it helps, why not think of the new Jane Austen range as an addition to the Napoleonic range? It is the exact same time period, same scale and paint style as the Napoleonic range. Now you have a town of civilians, or camp followers or those poor hapless folk that were minding their own business when an army at war rolled through their village or farm to add to your Napoleonics. The gentleman could be foreign observers with the General staff etc. As the range grows the possibilities become endless.
As for the buildings, those that collect bands will now have appropriate buildings to set the scene for their parading bands. Those with WWII figures can recreate training scenes (think of Band of Brothers when they were doing maneuvers in England). Though this range may be inspired by Jane Austen's writing it is certainly not limited to it.
All the best,
Ericka Osen

Ericka,
A perfect application of "Boomerang" Marketing! Now if the civilians would fit into downtown Durban, Natal Colony, say around, oh 187-hmm er 9!!!:p Exceptional stuff by both WB and H&A studios!
