Nice previews of upcoming releases (1 Viewer)

lol, what I find funny is how easily you get triggered. I can only imagine you sitting at your computer getting all fired up. Words such as pathetic, illiterate really shows your character. If you read what I had put I said that you may not be wrong
but I guess that isn't good enough for you big head. It took you long enough to respond so I'm sure you ran to your references and looked everything up and came right back here and typed in your response. I like that first line of your response where you asked sarcastically to prove it after I had asked you initially to provide proof. How original for you. Yes, we have tunics from civilians but to the best of my knowledge we don't have any from Roman soldiers tunics that have maintained their color fragments. So I will refer to my references who I will not contend with when I have readings from Tacitus, Quintilanus and Pliny the Elder. who all go in depth on the colors worn. So I commend Matt on a great release but like I said the blue isn't for me. Hopefully, he releases the same figures in a different color variation which he has done with his romans in the past. It is well known there are two camps of thinking on this topic so I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I would have much rather preferred green, brown etc... but Matt chose blue and that his decision to make. By the way your little Latin quotes are fantastic. So with this I end our conversation because I no longer feel the need to go any further with you. Feel free to type what you want from here on out because it will not solicit a response from me. I don't have time for silly games.
Give me those tears…

I quoted the direct source on colour. Who describes the colours of Caligula’s Auxilia. I never mentioned civilians only Auxilia.

You have readings… let’s file that in ‘things that never happened.’

Fumbling nonsense about dyes, the Phoenicians had dyes down to a tee for about a millennium at that point. Ditto Gauls were well known for their skills on cloth dyes.

Remains an excellent release, no matter what historical illiterates may offer.

Keep crying, made me laugh the infantile psychological gibberish. Go have a glass of water. There there, how dare anyone contradict you ranting. 😭😭😭
 
The Elephant looks like a beauty and it's one missing from my collection, but $700 is a tall order!

The retail price on the elephant is 435.00, where did you see it priced at 700.00?

My mistake. I saw the $700 referenced on this thread and didn't read it carefully. Points stands, however. It's still a whole lot for a toy collectible. Looks fantastic but if I told anyone outside this forum I was paying that, they would throw a net over me. And I've spent tens of thousands in this hobby.

I can confirm this; we named the new wing on my condo after you..............................;).
 
What’s funny?

Prove it with a credible source as opposed to Poncán hubris.

It’s well documented the colours they used. For centuries. One’s opinion / imbecilic logic doesn’t matter. Only the facts.

Some legions even wore blue also. The blue shade as in the first legion colour used is entirely correct. Whining about an excellent release of something both above one’s skillset either to create or have any knowledge of the origin is rather pathetic.

Caligula’s German detachment wore Green, as common with Germanic units.

Legions undyed, Red, or deep blue.

They are wearing Gallic cloaks, Blue tunic is common for Gallic units. A detail of significance as to their origin and service under the Principate. I’m with Suetonius on facts not guess work. Completely went over someone who is historically illiterates head.

Kudos to Matt Pavone on a quite excellent release.

Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius opinione publica. Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus.
Nice profound Cicero quote at the end! : )
 
Those Kursk Waffen-SS figures really look stunning! I haven't collected any FL figures in a very long time, but those look very tempting. I also love the fact they are mid war. What do y'all think about them?

I also think the previewed FL Kursk SS figures look amazing. I'll be ordering them all as soon as they are released. The poses on the grenade thrower, machine-gun team, and the kneeling rifleman look spectacular and very realistic to me. I also really like the three figure battlefield casualty vignette. Just a nice release all around.

Now we need some summer SS tank riders!!!!

You notice the Wehrmacht M34 gunner on rubble, top drawer.

The SS Panzergrenadiers look mint, absolutely class, another version on M42 pair as well. Plus a capped Junior officer. Can’t wait to buy them.

Absolutely either Fallschirmjäger / Wehrmacht panzer grenadiers or SS.
