We have just got word that the 60mm Russian Figures are coming to the market. The Romans are being done in red and green. the figures will be retailing for 7 euros or around $9.25 plus shipping.
The Russian Revolution Figures are also coming to the market. The company Engeneer Bassevitch now has four sets for the Russian Revolution plus the four figures missing from set 0ne. These four figures were missing due to damage to the mold. The four sets and four figures are not cheap, an order for the four sets and four additional figures with shipping to France is 120 euros or $158.40. Shipping to the United States could be higher.
We are checking to see if any companies will be carrying these figures in United states.
I wonder just how many of these new plastic figures we get for $158.00?

Set one has 12 figures in 6 poses, Set 2,3 & 4 has 10 figure in 10 poses. You add the four figures that were not in set 1 you have a total of 46 figures. Each figure is an anverage of $3.43. Remember the postage for U.S. can be higher.
In that case, the per figure cost is slightly above the Conte plastic Spartans when they came out — no matter how you bought them (I bought 4 cases which I believe came to about 280 figures — I thought it would be neat to have around 300 Spartans), the per figure cost averaged slightly above $3.00 per figure, if my memory serves me correctly.
I still have a case of those in silver few if any have even been opened, I have another case in red that are opened and some of his original protypes in dark red and black, the red ones are even autographed.
I think I even have 11 blisters of the GI’s in the funky colors in the the Alamo packages, all unopened. Somehow I thought they’d become a collectors item and worth the big bucks, maybe in another 20 years.
