Some K&C news from Hong Kong (1 Viewer)

[Steven Chong]

During a short trip to Hong Kong and China, I visited Andy and he disclosed that during the Chicago Show, K&C will preview its newest line. He did not tell me what it will be, but did say it is NOT World War II. It will be a theme that has not been done before by any manufacturer. K&C is actually readying two new lines that have never been done before, but decided to introduce only one at Chicago.

hmm..

Top ten guesses:

10) Cavemen -- (with Geico as co sponsor?)
9) South American rebels and hostages (with fake red cross helicopters)
8) Homeland Security Air Marshalls (in coach seating - now that's heroic!)
7) Anti war protestors (in order to "balance out" K&C product line-up)
6) US Grenada invasion (EXTREMELY limited edition)
5) Tibetan monks (would have to manufacture outside China!)
4) M*A*S*H unit (TV version, with autographed "hot lips")
3) Predator drones (with and without remote control operators)
2) "Re-enactor Series" (including out of shape "soldiers" in ill fitting uniforms)

and the number one....
1) Michael Phelps! ("anatomically correct" in speedo)

If I Was A Betting Man I Would Think French Foreign Legion Or Something From The Middle Ages

 

[JPB]

Captain Nemo, with Nautlilus and crew..

or some other U-boat

My bet is that it will be something that when it is released everyne will go "oh yeah! Why didn't I think of that"

 

[JPB]

Or will it be WOI scounting and wheather balloons?

Imagine seing them in you dio taking off or floating around...

[bearybones]

I'm also betting it's something from the middle ages, or possibly from the Renaissance, since the Crusades line has proven to be so popular.

 

[nordiskanc]

I'm going to take a guess (not sure if anyone else has ever done these) but the 30-year-war.

 

[thebritfarmer]

Here we are all guessing and who is to say it is war related at all ?

 

[Larry Allen]

OK, I will guess that he is on a Sci-Fi kick and we will see Star Gate SG1 team battling all the Jaffa, and Goa'uld System Lords! Imagine all the characters that K&C could create. Of course, following up with the Stargate Atlantis team and all those bizarre creatures!

Ok, OK... I know, get a life!

Yeah The WAITH.

This one I find interesting.

 

[Pierre]

Sci-Fi will be one of the two new series...

Frank,
Thats a pretty intersting pic when you examine it closely, say the large number of infantry on the floor in front??? where's it from/

[gk5717]

Good, not WW2, I can save some money!
Pierre may have hit on something with Sci Fi. I sorta remember a few years back that there was talk of something along those lines.
Having said the above, probably none of us will get this right.

A model of a section of a pike and shot formation from the Thirty Years' War on display at the Army Museum in Stockholm.

I got the link from Wikipedia.

What, no Dave Letterman fans? Not even a kudo or two for the effort? I mean, I thought there was a funny one or two in here. Or maybe ya'll take this hobby a bit more serious than I do....??

Yes, I am pretty sure this has never been done before by any toy soldier maker. I can see you are logged in Andy, so what do you think?
