Expeditionary Force Warhansa Update Upcoming Figures
BMC Army Women
Jeff Imel of BMC Toys has given an update of his Plastic Army Women Project. This is a long-overdue update. In this update, Jeff explains that he wants the women to have nonregulation hair. This way they can be recognized as women. There is also a nice letter from Vivan age 6 years old on her thoughts on this line so check it out.
Warhansa Hurons and Revenant
I’m open to regulation hair for the BMC Toys Plastic Army Women project, just not certain it will translate as well at 1:32 scale. So far I’m treating these as ‘Plastic Army Men’ type toys rather than historically accurate hobby figures, so I think there is some room for artistic license. I’d likely prototype a figure both ways to see which is better and what the project supporters prefer. It’s all just a rough idea at this point anyway. CNN ran the story about the little girl’s letter and it’s getting distributed to a lot of local news outlets around the country.
I would think you can distinguish the women by body size, proportions, shape (breasts and hips), smaller hands and feet, and delicate facial features as well as hair style. Women would be much smaller and curvier than men who would appear bigger and more square and muscular. Just my opinion, but most women with shorter hair are hard to confuse with men.
I still remember when my Buddy and I realized the Timmee Nurse was a Female!!Hey this one has B**Bs!!
The female figures many collectors would want would be 1/32 Western 19th century ladies to compliment their Cowboy and Western town scenes.
I would love that. I remember how hard I searched for a decent female figure to be Susannah Dickenson for my Alamo. Forget about the other female non-combatants. But I am tempted to have Mrs. Esparza beating off Mexican soldatos with a broom. LOL
I have not interested in the army woman set.It will may be a good or a bad peofit sale set in stores or online generally but not x our hobby.
My thoughts.
I had made a photo comp pose by pose w Warhansa hurons and other makers such AIP,EXF,REP,BARZSO.. They are much better than most alike natives made in poses,detail and depiction.
I will send them to admin soon.
I think Warhsnsa Hurors set depart the standart tradition warhammer game sculture used by Warhansa as if done by other artis in this maker.
The set is been done x quite some time now.Is not new at all.
The material is well soft and nice .
Poses have a huge amount of unlimited possibilities x conversion.
My thoughts
Nice to see the Medieval peasant Levy and Archers. I’ve been waiting for these sets.
Yes. I too was wating x then as only depending in REAMSA William Tell poses and few Starlux.
They can serve and cover several centuries as well x conversion.
Best
The Medieval Peasant levy is indeed welcome. I’ve been using my Robin Hood’s Merry Men as peasants in my battles. Perhaps they’ll get reinforcements.
The female army men set seems a little off putting.
Why not just produce the current combat uniform a woman would wear with contemporary weaponry and then mold them in traditional green?
It seems that would please the girls and the history buffs
I would be interested in WACS from WW 2- Korea in poses performing the jobs that they were actually doing at that time in history. I do not collect time frame past 1953, so I am neutral about “modern-combat-women” poses.
