Ten Suggestions for TGM (2 Viewers)

[WesternOutlaw]

Hello,

I've truly enjoyed collecting Thomas Gunn's WW2 vehicles, figures, and accessories over the years. I appreciate the high quality limited runs of various pieces and value each piece within my collection as a treasure.

I also find TG receptive to the input and suggestions of collectors always engaged in discussions regarding ideas for new pieces.

Admiring my own TG WW2 collection and soon to be released pieces, I was thinking about what I would personally like to see TG produce in the future. Here's a few of my suggestions:

- A Sd.Kfz. 11 (3-ton) halftrack to pull the new Sig.33 and other past released artillery guns, tri-color camo.
- Small black raft with a couple of German soldiers.
- Curved sandbag emplacement for an artillery gun.
- Winter Kettenkrad with driver.
- US 82nd Airborne figures to battle some of the nicely designed winter SS forces.
- Just a standard US jeep without figure(s) with perhaps a trailer, similar to the Bantam Jeep. Could also offer a winter variant.
- A few additional Aussies in the Pacific.
- Japanese palm log bunker with removable roof.
- A couple new Kriegsmarines to add to those outstanding previously released figures.
- Fighting WW2 Filipinos, never seen before in 1:30 scale.

Just a few thoughts. I welcome all new WW2 releases. Thank you, TG, and others for taking time to read.

Oops, I have one more (#11):

The return of the 11.25" x 15" terrain mat, but this time sold in prints that can be combined to form a larger mat (either 2 or 4), each being designated as A, B, C, and D.
2 would measure at 15" x 22.5" or 4 at 22.5" x 30". Always loved TGM's scenic mats!

As an example, this one would be 2 at 15" x 22.5":

I seem to remember in a privious update that there were a few more figures coming for the series that isn't "Indiana Jones" (wink/nod) still to be released with a female figure up next...is that still in the offing or did i miss it somehow? The WWII stuff is as always exceptional, and is one of the mainstays of my collection, but the Indy Jones series has been a great sidelight. When that is completed have you considered a series based on "The Mummy" trilogy (the Brendon Frasier versions? You already have the basic FFL sculpts that would only require a new paint job and of course a new figure of "Rick O'Connell for the opening scene at Hamunaptra and your upcoming mounted Riff warriors should fit in perfectly as well...with lots of other possibilities for figures throughout the movie. Just a thought for another fun sidelight series that can be "spun off" existing lines. (FFL, Ancient Egypt, etc) In particular female figures of Nephratiti and Rachel Wies' character as Pharaoh's daughter doing their fight scene from the 2nd movie would be outstanding...or perhaps better yet Nephratiti from the opening scenes of the first movie with her "painted on" "clothing"... Oh well, i can dream can't I? Regardless if that series would ever come to fruition, keep up the spectatcular work on your WWII figures and vehicles/arty pieces. Certainly some of the best on the market.
