I have a feeling that a box of plastic Afghan tribesmen could be very interesting as they could be used for far more than just the the Colonial period. I am sure that the some arms with WW2 Lee Enfield rifles would make them suitable for the 1979 -1989 Russian / Afghan War. Some AK47s etc would make them suitable for the conflicts from 2001 to now.I don't know the pre Colonial history, but I am sure that given spears, bows and swords, they could be used back to the Crusades period.
Indeed, those flat brown hats that look like they've been pinched from a BBC Tudor drama's props cupboard seem much more prevalent than in previous centuries, almost to the point of ubiquity.And despite a brief resurgeance during the flower power era, the poshteen seems to have gone almost entirely out of fashion.
The next two or three Perry plastic sets will be unveiled at Salute next month. Afghans won't be one of them but my guess would be more medievals and Napoleonics as these tend to sell well.
Then again Alan and Michael may very well come up with something entirely unexpected and completely out of left field.
Honestly, 40mm Great War, they also become older. And 28mm are for the young ones...
