I'd still like to get a hold of one(most likely more than one) of those Tiger I's.
Jagdpanther someones got to come out with one. Panzer III, Jagdtiger, Elefant, Schwimmwagen would be cool. Ah hell anything that hasen't been made yet.
Fallschirmjagers would be mint

Italians man...gotta have some Italians!

Vietnam stuff man... a green M113's, M551's, an Ontos, deuce and a half, a green M109 but hey, I'm asking for way too much. If they can do an M60 tank why would they do something that saw action during the cold war? (sarcastic)

FOV series 2? My wishes...

A U.S. Stuart Tank with a couple crewers due to its size, and a German Stug just because it would've been common. Nothing flashy, just a couple simple vehicles. I would like to see them up the detail slightly though by NOT molding-on the tools. Just the tools...

Figures...

Paratroopers, hands down. It was a proven 21st formula, so run with a paratrooper line. 6 U.S., 6 German, and no jump-ready (played out). For the large accessory pack-ins they dig, I'd like to see mortars for both, as mortars are important pieces. A .30 for the U.S. wouldn't hurt, and an MG-34 with unfolded bi-pod wouldn't hurt for the Germans either.

I'd open my wallet for all those...

Also, sign me up for wishing I could find the camo Tiger-1, and the camo Sherman from FOV also. Never got either one, and wanted both.

The fact they were so less expensive made me wish I could find them and custom them up a bit without much remorse, however they're insanely rare around me due to the price (I assume).

Agreed on the paras. I would also like to see German AFV crews. They would sell well with the military collectors and the kids probably wouldn't know the difference. Just give them removable caps, headphones and the tanker blouse. British or Russian troops would be cool also, even if they only did a few of each.

Modern special forces would be cool, some CIA or other non-standard troops. Some Army Land Warrior systems figures would be neat also.

I think another Willies Jeep would sell well. I think they have firmed up their next vehicle releases. I really look forward to the Stryker.

If they made a decent Marder or Stug, I'd shoot the XD armor.

General Blasto · Post by **General Blasto** » Thu May 22, 2008 3:09 am

Vehicles ??? More Tanks for sure

US M24 Caffees

German Stug III or a Maurder

Russian T-34

Figures

German tank crews - set of 4 or 5 dressed in BLACK, the correct uniforms

Russians - standard soldiers dressed in their CORRECT brown uniforms

I think we may already have enough US troops now

Da General

If they made Italians, it would be cool if they made an autoblindo ab 43

I was just looking at some old posts......If you want to tell FOV/UNIMAX what you'd like to see just scroll down to Roguetigers post (9 or so down).......................

Figures: Fallschirmjagers and Red Devils.

Vehicles: German motorcycle and sidecar. A Schwimmwagen. A US Willys Jeep (these are getting hard to find from any manufacturer) and maybe some of the small 4 wheeled armored cars like the British Humber or Daimler and the German SdKfz 222 or 223.

I'd love to see this line expanded. How about a series of DAK Germans and the British (North Africa). They could be the 1st to give us some Russians.

Stug45 · Post by **Stug45** » Thu May 22, 2008 7:01 pm

If they make dak figs i hope they make them with long sleeve and the right colors.

DAK figs alright, my Indy needs more germans to fight,

i'd love modern troopers too (international if possible)

scope uk · Post by **scope uk** » Fri May 23, 2008 11:13 am

More modern troops including international troops as Blaster says.
for vehicles i would love to see a land rover but not sure i ever will.

I have been thinking about getting one of these for a while now. Does anyone here own one, and if so, could you give us a short review?

If FOV makes a second wave of WWII figure, I sure hope they don't have the monkey arm syndrome the first ones have...and hopefully their weapons will be to scale, and their webgear will be accurate. That goes specifically for the Germans.

I was interested to see if there will be more 1/18 FOV Bravo line so I emailed the FOV contact that was on the Joe Customs website.

He replied that there will be new figure additions to the 1/18 Bravo line for the first quarter of 2009. He said he couldn't say what nature they will be of at this time. However he did say to expect the same detail level on the figures as before.

He also said that the 1/18 Stryker is still in the pipeline and should be available sometime in 2009. No release date set yet.

very exciting.

So is that sarcasm or are you really confused about something?

Thought ya'll might be a little happy to hear something new in 1/18 from FOV is being planned...

Post by **aferguson** » Wed May 28, 2008 8:22 pm

no, that was sarcasm. I wanted to hear good things about 2008; sounds like zilch is planned.

Birddog · Post by **Birddog** » Wed May 28, 2008 8:28 pm

Yeah I know. We can always "hope" 2008 has more in store. As someone once told me...the nice thing about hope is you can always have it....

It will be interesting to see where FOV goes with the 1/18 line though. It will also be interesting to see what happens with the Ages of Action line to.

Stug45 · Post by **Stug45** » Thu May 29, 2008 2:52 pm

No new figs til 09

that sucks.

SolidSnakeEyes · Post by **SolidSnakeEyes** » Thu May 29, 2008 3:08 pm

I'm just trying to wrap my brain around why these companies don't make a better variety of figures. They KNOW we'll buy them.
Every figure that comes out is pretty much a rifleman. It's this way with 21stC and FOV. No machine gunners, or anti tank crews, or engineers w/mines, etc etc. They're always rifle men or nothing.
Not to mention no troops outside the US German spectrum.

...didn't mean to rant.

Yay, 2009!

IIRC out of the three FOV SS troops you get two MG34s and a Panzerfaust, no rifles....
