"...Hilts, isn't it?" "Captain Hilts, actually." |
This week's Rivet is another good one, with news coming in from multiple different manufacturers--and toy soldiers too! With the arrival of the King & Country's TGE001, I think I may have to get out my copy of the 1963 classic The Great Escape from 'the cooler' and watch it again.
New items are here from K&C, W. Britain, and First Legion, and First Legion also has some upcoming releases that are not to be missed. All that and more below!

John Jenkins Designs GGC-05 |
With over 10,000 products available on our website it's easy to overlook some real gems.
This week's featured item is
John Jenkins Designs GGC-05 - German Ground Crew Painters. These fellows could be painting nearly anything, from a sign to a wall to an airplane! A collector with a dab hand at paint could even change the color in the buckets and on the brush to suit the circumstances of any display.
It's an extremely versatile set, and priced perfectly at $62.00, which divides to just $36 per figure!
