Very neat idea Louie!

Arty is a great choice! I was just watching "The Story of GI Joe" and was very impressed by the scene of US troops unlimbering, emplacing and firing a 57mm AT gun during the city battle. That thing could really pump out the shells! It was also a direct copy of the British 6 pdr, and was used in all theaters over the couse of the war, so would have excellent repaint/repackage opportunities. Check it out!

Also great news on the figs! I'd love to have some prepainted figs to go with my armor. Pegasus, Caesar, and Preiser are really the ones to look at for poses and detail. The Forces of Valor figs that are at Target right now are okay, but I would have preferred they dropped some accesories for aome more figs. An eight - ten pack with a couple dupe figs of shooters and 1-2 unbased prone figs would help keep costs down. Good luck with all the upcoming stuff!

When Admiral Toys releases their US artillery, there is an excellent set of metal figures that can go with them by "AB Figures". They require being painted, but are some of the best detailed and realistically posed figures in this scale.

The figures haven't been released yet, but should be out before 2007 and before Admiral releases any of their artillery.

Nice. Thanks for the heads up, Legio.

I really hope Admiral makes painted figs to go along with their guns. I don't have the time or temperment for that kind of thing.

I think they will, hopefully better than the attempt by Forces of Valor.

Very cool Legio. I in the same space wanting pre-painted figures from Admiral to go with their guns.

I'm loving the fact that you guys at Admiral are interacting with the retail customer via the forums. I personally thank you, I appreciate that respect being shown to us. I know that it has certainly made me, as a collector, take notice of your product. I know that the rest of the members likely feel the same way.

Words well said...Admiral and that group are a class act.
