Mid May Update

My goal is to keep you updated as much as possible as we make our way towards a finished product. Here are a few details that might be of interest to you.

Release Date
Impossible to specify, but the general time frame will be the 4th quarter of 2009. I am hoping, probably foolishly, that these might be available to purchase by the Chicago Show. It all depends on overseas manufacturing. I will keep you up to date as things progress.

The Figures
Yes, the figure up top is part of the set. He was the first I had sculpted, and has a special place in my heart. The rest of the figures you will have to wait and see after the Texas Show, or at the Texas Show if you're there. Consider making the trip, it should be a blast!

Scale
These are sculpted to fit in with the latest offerings from current manufacturers. I thought that best. To my eye, they fit with the traditional 1/32 extremely well, but we used TSSD figures as a reference when we designed them.

Distribution
I plan to distribute these to dealers all over the world. My goal is to make these as easy to buy as possible. Once we get closer to a full release, I'll post a list of dealers who carry them. I also plan on allowing you to purchase them directly from this website using an online shopping cart.

Pricing
To be determined. Again, it depends on overseas pricing, shipping, the cost of doing online sales, and general business related expenses. We will keep you posted as we find out more.

Thanks so much for all your emails, your comments, and your words of support and encouragment. Keep an eye on this page for future developments, I plan to update it often. If you have any questions, suggestions, or just want to chat, feel free to email me.

HI .DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS FOR OTHER ERAS?

Beau said...

Nothing concrete as far as different eras. We are going to focus on the American Civil War for the first couple of sets. After that, we'll gauge our customer base, and go from there. Lots of possibilities out there!!

Awesome new Beau, starting with an era that many collect is probably a wise move. Heck, the bulk of my varied collection is ACW and WWII. Congrats on getting this venture up and running (and for the Mrs. supporting/initiating it is noteworthy as well). All the best,
Mike B.
