Hello Andy,

I like to suggest Old West/Western town facades such as saloon, general store etc. Figures from other lines could be used to make some interesting dioramas and displays-The World of Dickens, Remember the Alamo (I.e. Mrs. Dickinson and child), John Ford's mounted cavalry riding thru town, Pike-Bishop gang, Texas Rangers (Gus and Woodrow) and of course "KingsX collectors club figures.

Also, Apaches with muskets and hand weapons that could be used to fight the Mexican Army from the "Remember the Alamo" series. The Apache-Mexican war lasted from 1831 to 1915.

I'd like to hear from other collectors if they like these ideas and their suggestions.

Count me in. I would love to a Western town. As suggested saloon, general store. Maybe sheriff office. Livery Stable. Endless options.

I've loved this range. My reading also suggests that the Sioux tribe (from the East??) that 'rebelled' during the Civil War fought in urban style places. I think they destroyed a town comprised of Swedish settlers? The Cheyennes also raided places that might be called towns.
 
Love the idea. For me, I’d love to see multiple facades in one piece. Much like the way some of the dickens facades were made.
 
All great suggestion, I really like the idea of the Apache Mexican war.

Wagons and wagon trains with settlers fighting the Indians, settlers at homesteds fighting the Indians and of course a US cavelry charge set would be fantastic.

I've been wanting some realistic WW buildings for years. There's a "little cowboy" in all of us. {sm4}

Plains Indian Wars have been dominated by K&C for some time. Why not the Wild West?
My best friend bought the whole first group, cavalry and natives and spirit buffalo and all. They still look great under glass on his study table. Greedy personal note: I'd love to see a sale on more mounted K&C Indians. That would give me an excuse to spend money these leaner days. They remind me of the Remington sculptures so many of my dad's and my friends had but cooler because they are painted and you can have a much bigger group on display.
Great TX cav release, K&C does great Americana. Great buildings too. I think it's a viable field. Nostalgic, but maybe easier to sell than pirates.
Anyway, Best Wishes, Stay Safe and Happy Holidays,
Paddy
