New Sci-Fi from Soapy & Gripping Beast

[Plynkes]

They way they put it it sounded as if they have been waiting to release all heads with some other miniatures. I think they have given up on this and will be releasing the heads anyway. I don't think that means just the Indian heads.

So this range is withering on the vine, is it? So much for the grand plans. That's a real shame. If true that has ruined my day. Loads of things I would have bought that they were talking about doing. Oh well, those heads will come in handy for conversions at least.

[Earther]

No, no, no!

He says on his blog that he's lost his sculpting mojo of late, that's all. He did the SF stuff to get back in the flow, so to speak.

In the works I have:

French Infantry

Maybe I am lumbering behind everyone else here, but I just noticed the new artillery crew. Nice.

[Plynkes]

I hope you are right, Earther. That blog post has been there for several months, though.

Don't you first one war types come over here and undermine our sci-fi thread!

Begone with you! 

[Earther]

I'm a sci fi type through and through. I was only trying to calm the beast that is Plynkes! And a surly beast he is too… 

[Plynkes]

The French have been on Soapy's blog since March, Calimero!!

Them Adrians still look a bit rum to my eye, but I'll probably get some Kepi heads, and colonials.

@ Plynkes, I mean what they will look like in my hands…

Not how I saw it I saw the French etc last month when at their Factory and they are still in the offing, sure one of the lads got some pre releases too

[anevilgiraffe]

I will say this once...

COBRA IS THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ACTION FORCE...

except for the bit in the jungle with SAS Force, the Red Shadows and Hitler... that was brilliant...

[Bako]

Oh wow. I love those ones in the orange.

[area23]

I think the link between Cobra and the Red Shadows is as unlikely as the Saddam Hussein-Al Qaeda link.
All those comix and toys putting them in the same camp is neo-con propaganda.
They're all evil bastards though, and had dealings with Hitler in the Amazonian Jungle in the 1980's

[Plynkes]

Jolly good, Lowtardog! Now let's have a bit less pessimism around here. I blame that Swedish fellow.

[Thantsants]

Quite right - nevermind this Red Shadow/Cobra sniping- all I can remember is that I used to have the Action Force Sword Fish -



Played with it in the bath with the Q force sonar officer, Deep Sea Defender and space force patroller (somewhat out of his depth). My mate had some SAS stuff and a few red shadow troopers.

Gutted  - don't know where they are now although have a suppressed memory of seeing the sonar officer mauled after the dog had decided to see what he tasted like - still haunts me to this day!

Want some 28mm Action Force figs now...
