I spoke to 21st this afternoon. I have a solid promise that we will have figure pics this week! In fact I believe they are being taken tonight!
So for now let me hold you all over with the details of what I do know so far.
1. The photos taken tonight will be of carded figures. meaning they are already packaged! Does this mean a close release date?
2. Only a few figures will be released at a time as 21st R&D is releasing the 18 figs in few waves. I think?
3. The DAK figs are confirmed.
4. Everyting is new on these figs. New faces, uniforms, articulation, and new gear to outfit your soldier!
More news is coming there is still more to talk about!

I like the sound of the figures already being carded and ready to go. Hopefully something new will replace the S2 Japanese that are clogging up the pegs around here.

Spiffy news since figures are the line's core to me... I can't wait to see what's up. I just hope it's removable headgear, lots of goodies, good articulation and NON-specific face sculpts... IE: no Marine "Gruntin' one out" faces please.

cool

I'm giddy here too Ja. Carded is good news because they're close but I must say it is nice to see them OOP at different angles all suited up. How they look with kit is the real indicator. Hopefully I will have them in my paws soon OOP and I will be posting the pics...

If there carded this must mean that they will be in stores very soon, I hope.

I know what you mean digger
I`m truely excited to see these New figures & You know I`ve got fingers & Toes crossed Praying we`re going to see BRITISH troops (modern or WWII). Would love Airborne (Parachute Regt,SAS) to be the first batch of 1/18th British troops though

Then we`ve got Behind the lines Troops to take on the Hordes of Jerries we all have already
Well Digger if your one of the first to get these or To ANYONE else who may get these first,PLEASE PLEASE do post OUT OF PACKAGE with kit on & off & weapons & angles of the figure
Now for TKO to really get us drooling though

Lets see them packaged

Get these guys and and get them to the online retailers! After what I've went through (still) trying to find the MiGs, I'm tired of dealing with WM, for now.

Well fellas I gave good and bad news on the figures...
The good news- I have pictures of 2 of the new figs now! I am getting 2 more later tonight.
The bad news- You have to be patient for a couple more hours as I am working hard to get these up on area-21 so we can all have a great start weekend!
The facts- The figs I am aware of at this point are not Brittish or Russian. I just wanted to re-set expectations.
Check the site in a few hours...
