Expeditionary Force Arab Camels Plus More, I have the final sets from Expeditionary Force for 2023. Next, I have a few more new Russian Sets.
Expeditionary Force Arab Camels Review
Scott of Expeditionary Force has sent information on the final sets with Arab camels.
Hi All,
Merry Christmas!
I am very pleased to inform you of the release of two new sets as follows:-
- 60 ALB 07 Bedouin Arab Warriors (includes Camelry) @
- 60 ALB 07-B Baggage Camels (includes baggage guards) @
60 ALB 07 Bedouin Arab Warriors
The box set contains 8 model soldiers and 2 camel models. There are 2 camel mounted and 6 foot warriors.
Arab Camelry is essential for strategic mobility. They seldom attack the enemy while mounted as the camel is not a preferred mount for combat as compared to the horse. However, camelry serves very well in defense and as armed escorts. We have thus designed our camel to be in a standing pose.
The Bedouins traditionally wear their long gown without a waist sash or belt. Their swords are hung from the shoulders.
60 ALB 07-B Baggage Camels
This box set contains 4 model soldiers and 4 camel models. The 4 camel models contain 1 standing and 3 sitting poses. The baggage item is detachable.

The Next Set from Expeditionary Force
The next set due for release is a 54mm ACW Command set. This is a supplementary set for our ACW range. It is sized to match with our ACW range. It is in toolings and should be available in January 2024.
New Russian Sets
We have some more new Russian sets. the first is by Beleriand Toy Soldiers The Children of Hurrin Dor-Lomin Set 5 The set has eight different figures. The set is available in two different colors tan and green.
Tihon Figures Swiss Army has five different figures available in yellow and gray.
Legend has a new set Ukraine 1918 which has six different figures.
Hobby Bunker no relation to the U.S. Company of the same name has done a figure set related to The Three Musketeers. Called Heroes Dumas it has six pieces. I like the Cardinal Richelieu.
Finally, Hanomak has done a western set called Prairie Gold. The set has six different figures. The figures are available in red, Brown, and gray. Note these postings are only for reference as your country may have restriction of trade with Russia.
The Hanomak western set reminds me of the film Mackenna’s gold. The figures seem similar to the characters in the film.
The Baggage camels look great. I wished AIP had done sitting camels to go with their camel sets. To make a battle square like in the film Khartoum.
I wish they had some rifles; I’d love to put them with my Conte Arabs to fight the FFL and even British Colonial troops. The Camels seem to me a “must-have” along with the ACW command set.
Since my health issues I had stopped buying new stuff and not done much with my figures; but I’m starting to come back. And some of the new stuff is irresistible. As Pacino/Michael said, “Just when I thought I was out – they drag me back in!”
The only figure that really trips my trigger is the “Fast draw” Prairie Gold figure.
Great pose, reminds me of the Andy Gard gunslinger figure from another great set – and the Marx 6″ pose.
What a fabulous selection of new plastic toy soldiers! WOW!
So Many Great looking figures !!!
