More Ghurkas(failed first attempt)
I have asked Nic Robson to put an extra entry on the
Eureka website for another
set of Ghurkas. He has put the figures there individually as his experience
is that individual figures sell better than sets.
If there is enough interest these will be produced as well.
They will be:
- 1 Ghurka sniper, laying down, firing.
- 2 Ghurka spotter, laying down, looking through binoculars.
- 3 Ghurka, laying down, firing 3-shot missile launcher(from NAC fig.12a).
- 4 Ghurka, advancing, shooting assault gun.
- 5 Ghurka spotter, kneeling, looking through binoculars.
- 6 Ghurka SAW gunner, kneeling, firing.
The figures laying down will have normal outfits, not ghillie suits. I have
seen some examples of how this can be achieved with gauze and flocking, and
I don't think you could get the same effect molded in metal. It also leaves
open the option of doing this yourselves or not.
For the assault gun click
here,
and look at the entry for the Pancor Jackhammer. It has a cylindrical
magazine and looks really futuristic.
Current status
Total commitments are currently at 70 figures
(Frits+Derk:24, Tom+Adrian:22, Chris:18, Donogh:4, Ryan:2).
You can commit to these figures by ordering them through the
Eureka website.
Please let me know to how many figures you have committed yourself.
This way I'll know how close we are to production.
For the prone figures Nic has to have a completely new pose made. This
means that production will start as soon as one figure reaches the 100 figure
mark, or when multiple figures reach the 50 figure mark. As all the variations
require major modifications of existing figures, Nic requires these to get to
the 50 figure mark as well before production starts.
Please try to spread out your commitments over multiple figures so that we can
get more than 1 figure into production.
Final status
These have been removed from Eureka's website some time ago because of
lack of interest.
