Ken asked in a different thread that someone start this topic. So here it goes. I'll try to keep it brief.

ACW:
Mounted Union/Confederate Cav
Dismounted Confederate Cac
Cav casualties
Mtd. JEB Stuart
Heavy artillery units (1st Maine)

World War 2:
The Pacific!!! There isn't much out there right now.

Plains Indian Wars:
I would like to compare this range to the Zulu War range as far as detail of different characters.
Little Big Horn
Custer, Tom Custer, Reno, Benteen, Cooke, Yates, Keogh, Wier, Bloody Knife, Boyer, Charlie Reynolds, Crazy Horse, Gall, Sitting Bull
Mounted Cavalry
Dismounted Cavalry
Plains Indians


That's all for now. Haven't even touched Clash of Empires yet!

Forge Wagon
Ammunition & Supply Wagons
Mounted Longstreet
Mounted Barksdale
Mounted Buford, Devin, Gamble, Keogh, Morrow
Dismounted Cavalry US & CSA
Mounted Cavalry US & CSA
Horses Standing with and without gear
More medical figures

Mahdist casualties.....heaps and heaps of Gatling Gun fodder!

More Battle of Waterloo please:
Dutch/Belgians (especially the green-coated Jagers)
Hanoverian Light Battalions
additional Nassau Carabiniers (Grenadiers)
 
ACW..........gun limber with standing and running horses, supply wagons and more cavalry.

AWI/Clash of Empires.......Hessians, mounted British and American officers, Americans in hunting shirts, American artillery, more militias.
 
ACW - 14th Brooklyn, a colorful unit - part of the 1st Corp at Gettysburg. Fought along side Iron Brigade in a number of actions.
- Union troops in ''roundabout'' state issued jackets.
- U.S. Colored Troops - in action, or more marching figures w/ colors, drums and officers
- standing artillery limber for guns in battery
- some releases portraying U.S. Navy, possibly a BIG gun and crew on deck of a ship, or in fieldworks at Vicksburg.
 
ACW limbers / caissons / supply wagons for me.
the whole toy soldier ( matte) industry seems to have by - passed these so far.

would also like to see an Indian Mutiny or Boer War range if we are
talking big picture.

Napoleonic artillery pieces with crew. If French please do line, too many guard figures out there. Artillery train pulling a cannon or howitzer. A French field forge with farriers.

The colourful uniforms of the British and German Empires just prior to the introduction of the field uniforms seen in WW1.

Off to Waterloo in a couple of weeks, Whoopi Do! I hope the weather is better than 200 hundred years ago.

Bis bald.

Here goes:

Napoleonics War:
-Figures based on the plots from the books Rifleman Dodd and Sharpe, including the following....
-British and French engineers, sappers, and soldiers (in undress) building bridges or in ambiguous poses. This compromises a key part of many skirmishes and battles, real and fictional. It also capitalizes on the despite for non-combatant figures.
-Maybe even some figures in boats or pontoons....
-French dismounted dragoons skirmishing
-Guerrillas, including at least one crazy priest. Consider more stealthy poses, like a figure creeping up with a knife or slitting a throat.
-Spanish civilians.
-A Spanish partisan artillery piece, especially a large siege one

F&I/AWI:
-60th Royal Americans
-Natives without bases in crawling, climbing, or crouching poses
-French militia with all sorts of cool cloths
-Maryland militia in purple hunting frocks
-Rhode Island United Train of Artillery
-Arnold and Allen's capture of Ticonderoga
-Knox's artillery train
-Famous Americans

WW1:
-A balloon ground crew
-BLACK AMERICAN TROOPS SERVING WITH THE FRENCH
-French colonial troops
-The Lafayette Escadrille
-A series of figures based on war posters, including the French On Ne Passe Pas one and lots of goodbyes, etc....

The Civil War:
-Black troops on both sides
-Retreating Confederates
-John Brown's attempted revolt

1812:
-American watercraft and British privateers . Small ones. If they are anywhere near as good as your tanks, they will sell out before they hit the shelves. You could work with a mode company to do the hull and rigging cheaper.
-Pirates from New Orleans

New Series:
-1948 Arab-Israel War. This would be the ONLY series with Jewish figures and would be an instant hit with the many Jewish collectors and the untapped Israeli market, which loves its army and its history. It would feature a ton of cool vehicles from around the world as well as Jewish soldiers with classic partisan outfits and a variety of arms, as well as colourfull Arab soldiers.
-Lawrence of Arabia enters Akba
-The Boer War
 
Too much to agree with or decline but one thing I do want, Britains to deliver figures when they say they are, still to release dates, after all other manufacturers do, K & C and T Gunn release monthly and they are the vast majority of time delivered, but for years Britains have promised stuff and fail to deliver on time. Example - where are the 2015 collector clubs figures?
 
As Ken mentioned, cavalry will be in the Fall Catalog, here are my other suggestion for ACW:
Limbers
Held cavalry horses
Medical orderlies carrying basins and buckets to the surgeon.
Union casualty figs being shot/falling. We have quite a selection for CSA and need some for the Union (in addition to the recent release).
Something that is really missing, infantry company grade officer casualties, both prone and being shot/falling.
Infantry company grade officers in the firing line with the troops.
Artillery figs being shot.
1st Minnesota colors.
 
I think you will be getting your held cavalry horses.



For me I am quite content with what is being produced for the series that I collect.

Here goes the thread headed of the rails. But the Collectors Cub figures must be available since I got mine.
