New Plastic Figure News, Rahway and myself have been checking the internet for you. We have gotten information from Plastic Platoon, CTS, Warhansa, and Expeditionary force. So let’s get start.
New Plastic Figure News Plastic Platoon
Mikhail Glikin of Plastic Platoon has posted some photos of their next figures for their next additions to their Battle of Crete series. The one is where you can either do as a two figure vinette or separate. One of the figures is a Crete freedom fighter crouching. In his left hand which he has a rock. In the right hand, he is holding a knife. The other figure is a German paratrooper. He is slightly raised from the ground, He has his left hand up with the right-hand bracing him. As you can see from the photos these figures can be used together or apart. The other preview figure is a German paratrooper pulling a container. The figure and container are separate. The container contained equipment for the German paratroopers. The containers were designed with handle and wheels for easy transport. There is no more information at this time on what other poses and when they will be released.

Finally, Expeditionary force has released their Persian cavalry,which we talked about in June 4 of this year.
We have no prices yet on the Plastic Platoon figures should be around previous prices. On the Warhansa if you click on the links you will see the prices.
The paratroopers and partisan even super well done poses are not accurate in some detail
The few german paras attacked by partisan on the first days of Crete invasion were those drop and not armed as drop far from canister.
German paras drop with out any weapon or ammo .except x pistol and knife.
This was well informed by British who organize several small militia groups and use this opportunity to shoot ,kill or capture most before got hand in weapons.
The figure paratrooper in ground have full sets of ammo MP40 in his gear meaning he had been in ground and able get armed.
Partisan did not attack those armed as they knew will be overcome easy .They retreat to mountain once the paratroopers armed and establish combat teams,platoon else .
Most militia were poorly armed even w old muskets and hunting rifles that will not stand any chance against well trained elite armed paras.
Most were mere civilian family spontaneous action and few were organized units that act around british army ..
Few manage keep a longer fight in mountain once better armed by british agents till most eliminated or mix w population.
The killing and torture of some unarmed paras was the main reason for savage retaliation taken weeks after the capture of island by Germans as ravage x it.
Several books w witnesses account of both sides and British veterans mention it very often.
Regardless the poses and scene are great but same time have poor use x else as too unique but thinking as these are not quite you soldiers figurines but rather statues made in plastic I think that help to understand the owner desition and perception of making then…
My thoughts
