October Plastic Figure Parade Conversion
t
German Plastic Show
The German Plastic Show will be held on December 1, 2019. It will be held in Herne at the Kulturzentrum Willi-Pohlamann-Platz. This is a great show with a wide range of plastic. The show is noted for Peter Bergner’s junk boxes. You can see photos of the previous show here.
Plastic Warrior Show 2020 Date Announced
I got word late last night that the date for 2020 Plastic Warrior Show had been announced. The show will be held on May 16, 2020. Once again it will be at the Winning Post. It will be their 35th anniversary. This is another great show. You never know what will show up. Also, Replicants will have a new figure set. You can see the photos of the show here.
Figure News
We have some figure news release. First, Rahway let us know that BMC is releasing a reissue of Marx landing craft. It will be in several colors. Also, Rahway noted Armies in Plastic will be selling their cannons minus the figures. Kent Sprecher notes the Mars Don Cossacks are out and the Elite German World War Two will be out soon.
Just want to add: the head on the Timpo farmer conversion is from the Marx farmer carrying the chicken. I learned from the Marx Lane site that the farmer appears to be a Black man. The old Timpo figures are VERY brittle with age, so be careful when you mess with them!!
Any news on the Napoleonic French Grenadiers from Mars as they seem to have been advertised for awhile but know sign of them yet.
