Have Revell Germans Been Reissued?
Permalink   


Several sites (2 in UK, 1 in Hungary) are offering these. Haven't seen this box before.

Hi James, yes for some mounths now... but aparantly the quality is poor lots of flash, I havent bought any as sometime ago i picked up a job lot on ebay of an older issue, in my opinion the best figures are the first issue in a light tan harder plastic, crisp and no flash.... this would be the third issue i think..

Cheerswink

Thought I would top up my Revell WW1 supply a couple of weeks ago when they re appeared. BIG MISTAKE!

Both boxes have some of the worse flash I have never seen on a set of figures.

I can Help you: This is where I buy from:

www.classictoysoldiers.com

Its in Colorado  USA for our international users,

I ordered a st from there, the come as light grey, with little flash. I believe since this place seems to buy up old moulds, they are pehaps making their own sets under license from Revell, but don't take my word for it, I'm not sure how they operate. The set  I ordered had little to no flash and I was able to remove alot of the excess with a hobby knife. P.S  for those who would order from there, they send ALOT of junk mail. sometimes its good, like E coupons, but if you order from them and don't like alot of junk emails, use a dummy email address aka a trash collector.

Regards, Josh

i have just bought theses and despite the flash , which can be removed with a knife, I am very pleased with them.
there is a question or two I would like answered??,  the infantry are not the same as on the box illustration; the figures look like "stormtroop" type without the right euipment or "assault" infantry , non establishment, any opinions on this.  I do not want to paint them as stormtroop so could i paint as assault infantry instead??.
I do think the figures are good!, I recently bought some Strelets German Infantry and I found the quality very poor so I was glad to get the better quality of Revell.

Has anyone seen Ceasar Miniatures??, their  late war German Infantry is superb!!!, they are genuine Stormtroop moulding with all the right equipment, beautifull!!!.
