WIP British Infantry Foxwood Figures

[montythefirst]

plus with all the old moz moulds they have you wld think they would be more widely available

Seems this is where figures go to die....shame really cause I think this company has some fine figures in its collection...

it is a real shame i agree

They also have all my old Spearhead 200mm figures. They were selling very well so it baffles me

something to do with relocating

Hi Simon,
From what I have seen on previous threads this "relocation" must be of biblical proportions, it's been going on more than six months! If I was you I would fire off e-mails until you get a satisfactory solution, as Pete said the has all the moulds, masters and casting gear. Stick in there mate.
cheers

Me too those were great figures

They certainly keep a low profile, which is a shame considering some of the figures they have in stock.

Was that the desert rat charging with the '08 bayonet? That was an absolute peach, if i'd the money i'd have gotten it myself.

The para was excellent too.....

yeah it was

 

[Funky50]

Just can't understand buying up the moulds for these fantastic figures and then not releasing them..perhaps there's something we don't know about.....

I seem to remember that Foxwood was set up by someone who had taken early retirement because of ill health.

Hello Simon, Thanks for posting Pete's Desert Rat figure. I've never seen it. Maybe Pete will do something similar to this spectacular figure in the future? Why someone would keep these outstanding figures from the public is truly a mystery, and truly insane. Hope you find the answers you seek. Regards, SG

If anyone wants one of these figures, I suggest you get in touch with Foxwood.

Got a bit pissed off there

The only option Pete is for you to re-sculpt the figures, even better than before (!), and sell the masters to someone who'll actually market them. I know you already have some crackers in the pipeline. The Desert Rat could be produced as a WW1 Middle East/Gallipoli figure in shorts/riding breeches with the option of slouch hat, Wolseley helmet or service cap.

Happy modelling,

Mike
