Any King & Country Collectors Out There

I was wondering if any of you collected King & Country toy soldiers and vehicles. If you are not familiar with them they are 1:30 scale. The soldiers are metal and the vehicles are made of polyresin. They cover all phases of WWII and also earlier conflicts in history. They have just released a new series that covers the Crusades.

Here is some of their latest work.

Winter Hummel WS079

Kettenrad WS081

Re: Any King & Country Collectors Out There

I'm sort of a part time collector for King & Country figures. I don't like their tanks that much, the tracks leave alot to be desired in my opinion. But their figures are very nice though.

Re: Any King & Country Collectors Out There

The tracks on the vehicles have been a sore spot for many collectors. It looks like K & C has addressed that issue. At the toy show in Chicago earlier this month they introduced some new tracked vehicles. I haven't personally seen them but the reviews were very positive. Here are a couple of examples.

King & Country has been under some pressure by Honour Bound and New Model Army so I think you will continue to see improvements in their vehicles.

Re: Any King & Country Collectors Out There

These look nice, specialy the little figures. However 1/30 people would look gigantic next to my 1/72 planes.

Re: Any King & Country Collectors Out There

Yes it's true. After much arguement and debate (most of which I caused), King and Country have finally decided to fix their tank tracks, and they now look fine.

Re: Any King & Country Collectors Out There

Honour Bound makes some nice stuff, especially for a newer company that hasn't been around for too long. It's a good thing if that puts pressure on King & Country to improve.

Aircrafty,

I remember you as OzDigger from the old forum and I've seen you on the Tree Frog forum too.

Re: Any King & Country Collectors Out There

I don't collect these Ground Vehicles.....
But if you keep making them look like that .
I just might fall in and get a few of them.
They are really nice looking .
Thanks for posting these pictures for us to see.

Hi Legio, I like your 1/72 diecast armor site and check pics on it before buying something, it's like a tricatus for tanks site.
