Hi All,
Unimax recently update their web site, which shows a few new figure packs along with their second issue King Tiger and Tiger I in 1:72 scale. Here's some preview images:

They've also posted their complete Historical Legends range. Look for their complete 2007 lineup to be announced on the 19th...

I wish they would do something other than a rerelease of the Tiger and King Tiger. Compared to the other FOV tanks like the new Russian Tank destroyer and Grant, these are really lacking. The Dragon version of these tanks are much better, particular the wheels and tracks.

Hello,
We hear that there are new vehicles as well (almost certainly the Mobelwagen, which was previously advertised in their brochure) along with some other repaints. Their intent is to produce a vehicle, then sell out of it and offer a new paint scheme, while continuing to add more vehicle types. Keep in mind that these vehicles are really intended for a mass audience, so the strategy make sense from a marketing standpoint...

Makes perfect sense. Think of the hundreds of different cammo schemes between the 2 Tiger variants.

Same logic could apply to getting the companies to issue a 1/32nd or larger JU88 - simply dozens of repaint possibilities from one single tooling.
