Speculation in Anticipation
How do you guys think the new FoV pieces will look? Cool figs? New accessories? I for one would like to see some extra baggage; the Deuce will look nice loaded down, ferrying supplies. Or the Elefant, with a well-crafted commander, moving up with my Gelb StuGs and Dragon Fallschirm. What might you expect, or like, to see?

How about a squad of GIs for the back of the deuce? I have plenty of crates and barrels.

Oh god, not more jerry cans and barrels! Especially tan ones.tmanthegreat wrote:That and about two jerry cans and the tan oil barrels. FOV has got to cut costs somehow

I agree totally! I was very unhappy when 21st stopped including a commander figure. Oh boy, they saved like 5 cents!Der Kommandant wrote:Really, really hope the Elefant comes with at least one, hopefully two, well-sculpted figures, with reasonable qc?Hopefully they won't follow the 21c trend, in which vehicles go to war without it's crew...

Perhaps a couple of those red/white striped oil drums to really get our motors running?
I've got it! Sandbags and brick wall sections!!!

Towards the end of the war Germany was starved for manpower. They could not afford to spare troops for border guards and many 'illegal immigrants' snuck across the border and did jobs that Germans would not do, such as being 'cannon fodder' on the Eastern Front. 21st Century has faithfully reproduced figures of those brave volunteers. Be nice.

I think 21C was/is/are meant to be toys. I don't think they ever considered a slightly more mature adult collector audience.

Unfortunately, I tend to agree. That being said, most of the FOV figs tend to look a bit superior to some of the figures that came with 21st vehicles, many of whose faces looked like zombies from a grade B horror flick...techno nazis...Rowsdower wrote:We will get the usual commander/driver figure who looks like he was sculpted and painted by a 2 year old.

I suppose the debonair, swashbuckling and handsome Nazi figures are made by a company in Austria.
