Hi Guys,
I promised to give a preview on what Figarti will be launching at the West Coaster Show so here it is. But before I tell all, for those of you who will be at the show, you will notice a significant difference in our work. Recently, we have appointed an award-winning artist as our Chief Colourist and to give you an idea what to expect,I have attached a few "Sneak Peeks" (2 US Soldiers in Iraq and 1 Iraqi National Guard). I think we have come a long ways since our China Battlefield days. And we think we have improved further since Chicago '05.
Anyway, we will be bringing PAINTED PROTOTYPES of 5 NEW sets of US forces in Iraq including sets on mine-sweeping, communications, M120 Mortar set and attack forces. We will also bring two sets of the bad guys, including the Iraqi National Guards. Dioramas include portable concrete walls and sandbags. To tell the story in Iraq, we felt we needed to have armour, so expect to see a Humvee as well as a M1 Tank (All very detailed and Figarti armour like). This brings our total head count for US Forces in Iraq to 46 different poses. This does not include our British troops, civilians or bad guys.
For WWII, we will bring several variations of the M3-A3 Stuart Tank including one used by the French. For the "HONEY", we will be bringing a 4 figurine "Limited Edition" set of British tank troops to go with the honey. We will have NEW US Marines and Japanese for the Pacific Theatre (Iwo Jima) BUT will not be able to show this time.
And the P-40 Flying Tiger, this is something really special! We have re-tooled the entire plane, so in essence, its a completely NEW plane. But the real story behind this P-40 is ........................ well, we'll keep this quiet until Irvine. All I can say is that its really really NICE!!!
So, to sum it up, a total of 32 new figurines, 3-5 new armour vehicles, 1 new plane and a completely different look to Figarti. I am excited, I hope you will be too.
