Figure News and a Comment We have two pieces of news from Victory buy
Greg Liska spotted that Victory Buy has the BMC in a new color. The British are coming in a nice green. They are in a bag called Juno Beach and coming with BMC Germans.
The other item from Victory Buy is a reissue of the Marx Army Training accessories. It is also under the BMC Brand. The bag contains pup tent, machine guns, bazooka, recoiless gun and garbage can. Kent sprecher thinks it might be the Payton version. The pieces are being done in a green.

It is being report elsewhere that the future releases of Warhansa cowboy bandits are not new. Also the pirates may also not be original as well. The party gave no additional information to back this claim. We have found no evidence that these figures are not new scuplts. Let us know your thoughts.
Victory Buy has also released the damaged farmhouse in new colors; a nice tan and a deep red.
I know that Warhansa did a set of Cowboys and Pirates, but they not the same poses as above. They are more bulkier too, with over sized weapons. I have not seen the figures posted above yet for sale. The weapons still look a bit over sized, but they seem to be getting better. They figures look better sculpted than their earlier work.
Those are the first sets they did…
Too bad, their sculpting is getting worse then.
Are Payton verssion any different from Marx?
The Marx and Payton sets are very similar and I think they were made by the same mold maker. The Marx mold has 3 tents and 2 rifle stacks. Bill from Excalibur had both molds.
Thank you Kent x responses.
I was not awere at all.
I only have a vintage set and is from my father in soft plastic in mid bright olive drab green color
But not marks .So I think should be Payton then.

Jeff just responded. His set will be exMarx
Jeff Imel Hi Kent, This is definitely the Marx mold, the tents have the Marx logo inside. I had wanted to purchase the Payton tool which had the Army Collie and Garbage cans without legs, but was told it was mistakenly left behind the last time the molds were moved.
Thanks fof the update
Have just seen on the paragon-scenics website set 3 Mexican attackers two on horse and four on foot with swappable heads twelve figures in total in set coming early 2019 also does anyone know when the Mars ww2 Elite Germans set is coming to Europe as seems to have gone quiet about them.
They are on ebay from various European sellers dealers i think.
