And Traveller, you say that's expensive to produce some figures because of the demand.
Ok but :
What means "expensive" ? 100€ for one figure ? 200 ? 300 ? 500 ? more ??
I've seen here some painters who produce their own 3D figures for their own use.. (I suspect some to shut up about the way they use for create their figures but that's another story ..)
Maybe I will hurt some of you but I'm too old to be politically correct...

Exactly my thoughts.
At the last Dioramica a dealer told the story I have heard so many times, WWII, WWII, WWII, Napoleonic area and then the rest is his sale.
In my opinion you should stay away from the standard fighting pose that the big players like Italeri, Revell, Cäsar do.
A German radio operator crew like Toxso Models only announced a few years ago.
A bakery team. Or wounded, fallen in the battle like your live like ACW poses. Fleeing German soldiers without weapons.
Walking civil people, walking armed civil people useful for German Volkssturm or as partisans. Etc ...
I think that this poses, figure are not in competition to the big players.
Will sell.
That is what we here (or me) need, want.

SamSagace wrote:... an other point, Traveller :
I like the possibility to choose the figures I want in your shop.
I've so many sets I've bought for only 1 or 2 figures !
I know exactly which figures I will buy...

Pistol holster and cleaning tools poach.
