News Update July 28th, 2025 - WWII German Armor (1 Viewer)

How long ago was that, showed figures to go with STUG and never produced
Yes, it was some time back, but at least they did produce some WW2 tank crew figures. I did buy the Two JP cleaning figures but didn't get the guy with the umbrella, a bit weird imo. Yes that was disappointing they didn't release the Two Stug crew, and I haven't seen any of the figures that were meant to complement the Munitionsschleppe, they would have made a great display. And still nothing for the Panthers and the King Tigers. A lost opportunity imo but some collectors have used figures from War Park etc to fill the gap, and I suspect the same will happen with the new JJD Afrika Korps tanks.
 
If it wasn't for WP and FL they would be crewless.
Pretty much, it would be interesting to hear why JJD haven't produced many WW2 tank crew, I heard a rumour that John Jenkins wasn't personally interested in WW2, but plenty of people are.

I have a few JJD WW2 crew, stretcher and medic, barrel cleaning crew, the tank crewman with the umbrella is a fav of mine. i agree with people there are crew required, i mainly use K & C with mine, they go very well with the vehicles. I have a couple of Panthers as well and they are excllent, tank interior detail [know it is strange] put me off as think it is not needed and they could have been cheaper without. Maybe we will see crew, can see why you would highlight the vehicles first, because if the crew were highlighted first, we would all be saying what is he doing crew for when he does not do vehicles, might be in next Moday's update.
 
Didn't he produce some tank crew for the Jagdpanther and previous Panzer I?
Yeah, John made the Commander and Crew for the Jagdpanther; the various early WWII Panzer I crew figures, and he also did the loaders and medics/wounded panzer crew for the Panzer I Munitionschlepper and ambulance vehicles; however in terms of figures to go in hatches or even tank orders, John has done next to nothing for his WWII range… But with ample figures available from War Park, etc. I can see why he hasn’t made more Panzer crews.

The reason I bought WP etc was to fill the void
