It is my understanding that John feels WW2 is adequately covered by the many other manufacturers (almost everyone, in fact) that already make product for WW2. He prefers the more unusual, less covered subjects, the road less traveled, if you will. John has touched on the SCW with tanks and aircraft, and as a result he did do a WW2 Bf-109, so who knows what the future may bring? -- AlWhy doesn't JJD produce tanks and soldiers of WWII?
Will JJD do this in future?:salute::
The amount of product that John produces, being only one man, is staggering. I don't know how he keeps it up. He must be working 24/7 to keep all his lines going. It is remarkable. -- AlI'm sure John could do tanks very well. After all, his SCW tanks and vehicles are some of the best ever made -- and at an affordable price for most collectors. However, he's already spread to thin, in my humble opinion, so I just hope he keeps focusing on what he's doing.
Agree that WWII is covered sufficiently by K&C, FL, WB, TCS,TG, Figarti and others.
I think JJD will introduce several new ranges in 2017 but WWII will not be among them.
Personally I hope he does the AWI and more SYW ranges.

I feel the same. John's stuff is the best. His WW1 aircraft are unequaled, and he continues to improve on them, raising the bar even further. His Jacobite series highlanders are the best figures on the market, as I have expressed many times, simply unbeatable in terms of action and color. I just love his work. -- Al....I for one would snap up anything AWI if done by JJD.....all the work done so far that relates to the 18th c. is sublime.....and it is this century that I most associate with JJD (still not enough Jacobite material for my liking :wink2: )....having said that, his range of 'Great War' material is very well done.....all of it unique.........personally I think it helps for JJD to leave WW2 alone, as he has clearly become the best in what he has done so far.....(biased, I know!)....and I assume we would all appreciate a lot more figures from our preferred collection era's....
...the poses and the colours used on the existing ranges are what make JJD stand out from the crowd.....just look at the new (truly fabulous) Wars of the Roses figures....they are stunning....I'm trying so hard to not buy them.......but with each new release I find myself wavering....

I would love to see JJD do Canadians at Vimy Ridge for 2017.
Also, although the War of 1812 has been dormant for awhile would like to see USA Dragoons and the British 19th Light Dragoon's of course.
And now John is delivering on some of theseHave always felt that JJD is the best bet to plug a gap with a historical period the others wouldn't risk....... jacobites, SCW, Wars of the Roses etc ...... would much rather see him going for those significant conflicts which others haven't touched ...... Boer War, Indian Mutiny , conquistadores . there's not much out there on any of these other than Morgan miniatures on conquistadores. Or what about SYW in India....... Clive of India ........war elephants in Bengal ! Seems a natural progression for the 18th century master !
Agree with prior comments the Jacobites are one of the best things out there in the industry in terms of dynamic animation and finish. Love the series. Ps when are we going to see the Bonnie Prince as part of the series ?
