Thank you for the comments guys.

Anton Ducrot from FlyTrap Factory is my sculptor.  He sculpts all my ranges.

Cheers! A few more questions if I may?

KS says delivery dates ranging from Jan 2018 through to mid 2018? Why the very lengthy wait if the masters are already sculpted?

The KS site is vague about the contents of the platoon offers. It says somthing about '30 or so' figures. Three squads of nine or ten plus platoon command?

Shipping isn't part of the KS. From the US shipping prices can be a killer. Could you give me a quote on a platoon deal to Australia?

E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo

What about the Jungle Rot line?
Any thoughts on that?

I have some, they are alright and actually have a few ARVN which is rare seeing as they did most of the fighting.

My initial reaction, based purely on their photos, was vaguely anthropomorphic fishing weights, however there is a thread on here where someone painted up a few and they did a bloody good job on them. Worth looking through the threads, would have been within the last year IIRC.

I think they where mine, at least they are the only ones that came up on the search function.

How do they compare size wise to other ranges?

I have some of their police and they are nice but rather small.

I do my best to keep the the delivery at a safe pace. I dont want to overpromise delivery then upset gamers.

The Platoon is 3 squads of 10 figures :)

Shipping is $25 to Australia.

Here's the blurb:

I'm preparing for Gen Con now. Pulp Figures and Crucible Crush will debut several new figure sets as well as our new Black Sun Pulp/Nam range. Here are a few of the in-progress sculpts. There will be 5 packs available to start, 2 US army and 3 Vietnam Cong. Black Sun will be available through Crucible Crush in September.
 Previews of the Flint & Feather Great Warriors are coming next!

Three decades ago? I've got Ancient Greeks that by have been unpainted so long they were just Greeks when I bought them. Luxury.

I wouldn't mind seeing those Bob Murch figures but none of the images are showing.
