How about some lab accessories for the scientists?
Brilliant idea!

Wow! :-*

Any chance of some more soldiers? I'd be up for a platoon's worth. Especially if you did a Mark V 'turtle' head variant.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Nice idea, but no plans I'm afraid. I am sure Black Cat do some already if that helps.

I would love to expand on these, but our schedule is jammed packed at the moment!

"Greyhound to Trap One..."


These are superb.

When your newsletter referred to further female scientific advisors, I guessed that one of them might for example be someone on loan from Cambridge to a United Nations organisation.  So you had me fooled!

Sculpted by Ernst Veingart.
In the moment he is the most exciting sculptorer. One fantastic new miniature hunts the next one. Amazing stuff.

Well pop 'em in the queue. You'd only need half a dozen sculpts and I think you'd get a decent cross over market. BF are gping Col War this year and there are some other folk like UnderFire getting into 28mm Cold War ranges. I'd say it would probably worth your while.

Whenever a new release is announced, we ALWAYS say "Great! And now can we have... "
Putting these new figures out, AND the characters released in January, within the same half year, is good going.
70's/80's style British are well covered by the Gripping Beast Falklands range, so I think CD might be best concentrating on high quality character figures and letting others provide the cannon fodder.
The soldier on the right I'm sure will end up with three stripes and will displace the Gripping Beast figure currently in that role.
They should keep their sculptor incarcerated in a secret volcano base however until he has made everything I want.

There aren't enough Sterling SMGs out there either, a popular weapon in TV shows!  Not so popular with those who had to use them.  :?

You don't say - one of my schoolteachers got discharged after he slammed one in a Land Rover door, shooting himself in the hip!

What about some heads with the helmets requested? Crosses over to the Beastie figures and more...
Remember: the dice are not your friends!
