We received an email from Ken Ciak give some more of his plans with his new figure line. Here is his email.
Good evening and thank you for your interest in my first set of figures. I am based in the United States and the primary reason there is not much information online about the company is it is brand new (LOD Enterprises). The website is in the construction stage though there is a Twitter account (@lodtoysoldiers). My e-mail is lodtoysoldiers@gmail.com and I welcome any comments or questions.
The War at Troy set will debut at the OTSN in late September. There are eight unique poses (4 Greeks and 4 Trojans) in this set and the second set will contain two Bronze Age
chariots, charioteers, and four horses along with two additional Greek and Trojan poses.
As for the scale, the figures are closer to 60mm and match up well, size wise, with the recent releases from TSSD, Austin Miniatures, and Expeditionary Forces. In regards to specialty figures, the heroes of the Iliad such Achilles, Hector, Diomesdes, Paris, Ajax, and others are in the strategic plan to be developed as well.
I look forward to continued discussions …..
Ken Ciak
Thank you, Ken, for your informative post. The photos of the first 8 poses look great, and I’m hoping this project works out well for you, so we can see an ever-growing, expanded line. I think your figures will be a real hit at OTSN, which is the perfect time and place to release them. And you’ve chosen a good subject: the toy soldier hobby is full of people excited by the Trojan War.
May I second Don’s sentiments? Always glad to hear of a new contributor to our mania.
Thanks Ken, the figures are historically accurate. Most movies on the subject have the Greeks and Trojans looking like Classical period Greeks.
