June 2026 Conte News Harald and Einar
Richard Conte has been revealing various figures for 2026 and 2027. One future set of different figures of Einar from the Vikings.
Here is another look at Einar, Ragnar, and Eric.
Another set of figures that Richard has planned is King Harald and his earl carrels. Here we have the final moments of the Battle of Stamford Bridge. King Harald has been struck in the eye. There will be another version of Harald fighting.
Up next, hopefully late summer, more Romans, including an Opti.
Combat Collectibles Update
Evan Oelrich has posted two computer renderings of Combat Collectibles WWI GI’s in gas masks.
Evan has stated that these figures will be out in September and will be in material similar to Conte Collectibles. We will be showing some of the German poses.
Mars Toy Soldier Figures
Mars is going two routes in making figures. First, they are continuing to do box sets. Here we German Mountain Troops, which I hope we can integrate with the Airfix mountain troops.
The other new set is the German Afrika Korps. This set will have 15 figures in eight poses. Hopefully, you will be able to integrate them with Afrika Koorp figures. I like the sniper and flamethrower poses in this set.
Mars is also continuing their 3D figure series. A future set is Desert Patrol.
Here is another pose from this series. There will be eight poses in the set.
I wish a company would do swoppets figures again…..
