I guess those OT posts could be a little frustrating when you think someone has the goods.....patience young Padawan.....

However, in order to comply with the above requirement to post here, I ask if anyone knows what scale this ST figure is? At 15 beans I assume too big....but good articulation and great head-sculpt.

I have seen this on Ebay, Digger.
It is a 6" figure.

Post by **aferguson** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 2:22 pm

They're actually 7" figures, part of a very nice line by Art Asylum i think...somebody like that, anyway. They have lots of good Trek figures but in 7 inch scale. I'm hoping they will do a 4 inch line now that the scale seems to be catching on with various manufacturers..

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I see that Small Blue Planet has a preorder up for an XD 109G Eric Hartmann. Anybody know anything about this release? Is it another Comicon surprise or could they be confusing this with the Gunther Rall?

They are! Japanese release only so far though. I post at the Art Asylum boards and it's been a cause for much anticipation and speculation. Right all we know is they're a japanese release *possibly* blind boxed, and are scaled down versions of the original Star Trek series figures. Hopefully we hear more about them at comicon.

I believe the Hartmann scheme will be a normal repaint release.....

Hey guys! It's been so busy I haven't been able to get photos online. The run down - 21st has a MASSIVE booth. There is an Avenger plastic mold there, all three F-104 schemes, so many new 32x aircraft and vehicles I can't begin to tell you all what they are... Sahara items, Sky Captain Items, etc etc! Even some new 1:18 vehicles. Mark from Build-A-Rama has a new of new items on display as well. I will be giving Zach photos tomorrow to put it. They have the German schemed F-104, Gunther Rull ME-109 G-6 (gorgeous!), and Japanese Troops for sale. The Japanese troops are going fast too! There is soooo much there, the booth is almost as big as some of the major booths like Dark Horse, SciFi Channel, and Starwars.com!

And bbi... has nothing. Took us forever to find which booth was theirs! Nothing new, tiny booth, they look like a tiny store rather than a company. No Corsair, 2x F-16s, 3x F-18s, 2x Pave Hawks, 10x Shermans, and that's it as far as I can see about 1:18. Yeah, it's really bad.

Sorry to report that there really isn't much to report. 21st showed a bunch of repaints. The P47s, ME-109s & FWs in my webshots album are ALL 32XW, I repeat 1:32 Scale. Just 'lil cousins of their respective 1:18 painted versions. From the photos you would think you were looking at the 1:18 versions. The only new stuff I saw were the Japanese soldiers, F-104 in 3 versions and the new ME-109 CC early release. The re-tooled P-51 was under wraps and not shown tonight.

I was told that they still don't yet know when the Bomber will be released. The 32x small pak howitzer is still shown with no release date in sight.

BBI was not there but their US Distributor "Merit" was. Very nice guys! They couldn't help me out with a release date for the WW2 Paras except to say that they 'should' be out his year. Oh, and all will come with the life-vest and "un"detachable parachute. The accessories which come with the figures are awesome! Nice mortars w/rounds, Browning .50 cal w/tripod. Great stuff to look forward to.

The Sahara & Sky Capt lines are definately a go and will show up at Walmarts. When????

Something of interest, there was a Hellcat, MkIV, Tiger, Tiger II & Panther in 1:144 scale in their own clear plastic cases on display. No word if this is a new direction or a for sure line. I'll try to find out more about these.

I checked out the Hasbro & McFarlane lines, too. Great toys there! Check 'em out on my webshot album.

Thank you, Thank you Bravo26!!!

From all of us that must view ComicCon from afar. Your pictures have brought the show to all of us and your effort is greatly appreciated!!

Thank you boys for the recon.
How can I see your webshots Bravo EDIT - FOUND IT.
(You should give yourself a "website" with your webshots account being the destination).

btw 21c may well put more stuff up on display as the show goes on. Aside from the P-51, we may see some other goodies, prototypes etc.

I don't know what BBI is thinking about. Seems like they have zero interest in trade shows. Maybe they can sell their wares just fine without them..

Website · Post by **Teamski** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 5:54 am

Great shots Bravo! The 104 pilot definately looks a winner. And it's interesting to see the Avenger prototype with a clear cockpit. I wait to see what the real surprise is!

Good Recon boys!

Those G.I.Joe times keep getting better and better! But what is up with those alien looking COBRA's!?!?

gustav · Post by **gustav** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 9:35 am

good photos.

i wish i was more into 1:32 because those are some cool repaints. i especially like the 109 repaint and hope to see it in 1:18. maybe walmart likes 1:32 better and hence, all the 1:32 stuff?

also noticed that the new rall 109g is using the old fw pilot, which it too bad because i thought a new pilot might be in order.

now for some surprises!

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 10:20 am

Great shots and I cant wait until the end of July for the release of the F-104! The new 32x items look awesome as well. I hope they show up everywhere as I deffinitely plan on getting a P-47 and FW-190. Great stuff all around and can't wait to see what else is in store.

vulgarvulture · Post by **vulgarvulture** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 10:58 am

Thanks for the pics.

I'm very, very interested in those a/c display stands. Looks like they can be adjusted for a variety of dive and climb angles. Wonder how they secure the a/c, or if it just sits on the stand.

Tko211: Does 21st plan on selling 1:18 a/c desktop display stands? I would think it'd be a worthwhile offering to the product line.

hworth18 · Post by **hworth18** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 11:12 am

Great pics Bravo.. I see very good news for us 32x'ers..

The Rall 109 looks great also.. Too bad I couldn't find someone to pick one up for me..

Bravo_26 · Post by **Bravo_26** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 11:14 am

Thanks guys! I'm glad I could give you a look into CC.

1:32 News

The 32x line of new aircraft look absolutely fantastic! If you don't have space for all the 1:18 planes (or $$$) then these are a great alternative. One more note, however, all of the P-47s & all FW-190s will be limited to 5000 pieces each. Also limited to 5000 pieces wil be the Me-109 Night Fighter & the #7, two newly painted P-51s, & a #5 Me-262. Not sure if these will be a Walmart issue then.

Pictured in a new catalog are 1:32 WWII US Marines in 6 poses! (Japanese figures & vehicles to follow???) Also shows the Series 2 British Desert Rats & Series 5 German Afrika Corps we recently saw photos of on eBay. Also pictured along with the others is the German 7. IG. 18 cannon & crew.

1:18 News

The Avenger will be painted in 3 versions: #17 (Lt. gray/white), #2 (deep ocean blue/Lt. blue) & a #28 (very dark blue all over).

Announced will be Series II 1:18 US Marines in Camouflage. I'm 99% sure they are the same poses & headsculpts as Series I.

I should have more Photos by end of today.

Great, just when I get into 32x for the armor - it turns into an AC line.

There was NO NEW ARMOR in any scale?? That 32x gun was shown at Feb ToyFair!

I need a new hobby....mumble....grumble...
