TSSD is going to be putting out mini sets of 3 or 4 figures. These mini sets are to be of their World War Two figure line such as marines, long coated Germans etc. The first figures will be conversions of their existing figures. These are listed as coming soon. A new four figure set of Romans and a new four figure set of Barbarians are to come out late in 2012. Add to that the Texas Rangers and the cowboys to complement the Earp’s, TSSD has a busy schedule
Britains is hinting again of doing new plastic figures. This is a story I have heard for the last ten years. I will believe it when I see it. I know people who have been involved with Britains over the years that having been trying to get them to do new figures. So if this becomes a reality great it is about time.
My European friends who went to the various toy fairs in Europe reported back that they saw nothing new. We still do not have a clear answer on what Bridge Direct is going to do in relation to the Hobbit Movie. Their press release has been not very specific. Normally we would figure only action figures but the president of the company used to be with Playalong that did the small scale figures. We may have to wait until closer until the release of the Hobbit movie.
