No April wishes! (1 Viewer)

Hi fellas. Been a long time reader but not poster. Would love to see some U.S. Army Air Corps figures again. It's been awhile. I know we have the Pacific pilots but i'd love to see some B-17 crew maybe with a jeep or truck with some crew hanging on. I'd love to see a shorter figure that would appropriate as a ball turret gunner. Would anyone be in on that ?

I did start a thread . It is April so there should be some RTA . I am hoping they are new fully featured figures rather than the tourist fodder we received last year . I have pre tempered my expected disappointment by ordering the She Wore A Yellow Ribbon figures from KronPrinz .

So much to add for the JN series, can't fit it all in one post.
Would like to see more JN Officers, deck crew and equipment for a carrier deck. I think LAND based Zeros are on tap as some point.
The AF "Boyington" line also has a lot to add ... more Planes {sm3}..... more Marines {sm3}.... more Pilots ....{sm3} some Japanese (maybe?) {sm3}.... some mechanics and ground crew {sm3} .... some Diorama material ...{sm3} ....just sayin'

Hi,
Another long term reader but first time posting. I am hoping for some more LOJ figures and more FOB civilians. Also, it would be great if K&C could do some WW1 Canadians. How about Lt. Col. John McCrae (In Flanders Fields)?

Thanks for the welcome Robin. I love the various FOB civilians which are useful in multiple regions/eras. I just noticed the April Dispatches have been uploaded and K&C does have a new rustic table & chairs. That should be quite versatile and I will be ordering one ASAP. Hopefully we will get some more LOJ releases for May/June.

Agreed! I've been waiting for some company to make Canadians for a long time. Canada made similar contributions to the Australians during the Great War, but while K&C has made three series of Australian soldiers (Gallipoli, Beersheba, and 1917), neither K&C, nor any other major toy soldier manufacturers, have made a single First World War Canadian figure.

Wait another Year or two
and the 'Mighty Eighth' MiniSeries by HBO/Tom Hanks Production Company (Filming started) may be released following the lives and tribulations of a 8th USAAF Crew of a B17, B24 Bombers stationed in the UK during World War 2. This will be 3rd Series following on from the Band of Brothers and Pacific. K&C would be wise to schedule some production of these figures to coincide with the expectant success and interest this Miniseries will generate
