I think its the Platoon figures from 21c that are possibly next. When and where they are to be released is unknown. There may also be some new BBI figures as well... I don't want to start any rumors, I'm just relaying information I've already heard around this board

21c does have a modern British figure - the Royal Marine thats part of their modern line.

Its not the best figure in the world, but it doesn't look too bad, and comes with the most gear of any figures in that series. Get a couple and switch a head from another modern figure, replace the arms with the better articulated ones from the cammo Eastern Warrior, add a green BBI beret or helmet, and they don't look too bad. Now, to find a British style weapon...

Agreed! What I would really want in the way of British figures, however, are WWII-era troops. Specifically troops in the North Africa uniform and Royal Marine Commandos in the Normandy Campaign uniforms.

Ahhhh yea Desert Rats & good old Monty would be great & as for Royal Marines,again superb hell even do a Lord Lovat figure too

Plus best thing for doing British Tommy`s. Slight insignia reworking & there`s your Canadian,Polish,French,etc Allies too

Also the Modern RM,release him with full Green DPM & or Full Desert DPM, maybe a different head too with:Watch cap,Beret, & Helmet in the set (similar to these new BoB/Arnhem figures with plenty in the pack) as well as maybe a couple of weapons & the bergen

Id also like to see some US troops from the 1st. We already have a vehicle driver with the big red one patch.

Rama · Post by **Rama** » Sat Mar 11, 2006 9:44 pm

Most of the stuff I'd like to see has been covered, but I'll list them anyways;

Fallshirmjager
Eastern Front Russians
Eastern Front Germans
British Desert Rats
Big Red One Americans
SS Death's Head German Divs.(YEAH....Like that'll ever happen.)

and my number 1 want...

German Afrika Corps

As for Vehicles I'd like to see a Kettenkrad, a Leichter Panzerspähwagen, and I'd love to see the Kubelwagon again.

i'll second the french foriegn legion idea, i think that would be cool, but as always i will pine away for some new nam stuff, come on platoon where are you at

I'd like to see McFarlane get off its <censored> and release its 6-inch military guys in 4-inch size. Even if you don't like McFarlane's static poses, you could be creative and use them as fodder with BBi/PTE/etc figures to come up with some modern articulated figures.

Morian Miner,
I`ve thought about that too,just ashame they haven`t

It would give us some wonderfull equipment,heads with great faces,weapons & even dio bits (the figures bases) IF they did release these at 1/18th.

Maybe one day.
