Collectors Showcase: Scots Greys Napoleonic Cavalry


Collectors Showcase will be releasing 8 Scots Greys Cavalry figures in late October. These figures will be available for pre-order at www.BgsToySoldiers.comthe third week of September 2010. We will have the figures available individually and as a set. The new Scots Greys Cavalry set will be limited to 400 total sets available worldwide. These new figures were designed using a new technique for capturing the uniforms on the soldiers in action with physics taken into account, which Collectors Showcase has dubber "Mini-Cloth". This is what Collectors Showcase has to say about this new set of figures:

"The Royal Scots Greys ride again! TCS is very happy to present our next Napoleonic installment.
These eight figures are packed full of action and for the first time ever incorporate our new proprietary physics sculpting model that perfectly imitates the behavior of real clothing in miniature. Known as minicloth it truly takes sculpting to whole new level. Minicloth was written in-house and takes into account simulations that incorporate physics and density of whatever attributes we assign, from dense wool to thin cotton. You'll think you're looking at a real rider and horse! MiniCloth brings forth a new era in miniatures never before seen: our in-house technology combined with traditional techniques, brings forth results that are pretty amazing. Naturally we'll be using minicloth on all of our sculpts moving forward. We'll be showing these pieces in Chicago and wait till you get a close look, it's pretty wild.
The action has been pushed further again and the paint combines our popular gritty look with the bright colors of the Scots Greys uniform. We thought after doing our 92nd Highlanders it would be great to set the scene right with the Grey's charging-right into a battery of French guns! Well we left out the French casualties but we think we captured the mood alright!"

The 20th Massachusetts was one of the hardest fighting regiments in the Army Of The Potomac. Of the 2,000 Union regiments engaged during the Civil War, the 20th suffered some of the highest losses. Through their tenacity and bravery the unit earned the right to file in first at the head of the Corp column. The 20th was known as "The Harvard Regime
nt" because of the large number of Harvard educated officers. As a unit in the Second Corps, the 20th Massachusetts fought in battles from Balls Bluff, Fair Oaks, Malvern Hill, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wilderness all the way to Appomattox Court House. Our sets capture their fighting spirit. With so much success with our 5th Texas we thought it only right to hoist the Stars and Bars and celebrate a great Union regiment.

Your customers will enjoy yet another leap in storytelling, animation and connoisseur paint. We've added loads of shading and pushed these poses to the point of losing control of the sculpts! And it's probably clear to all that were not just making toy soldiers. At TCS we create diorama vignettes, rooted in classic military art. We've created a Highlander set combination that allows customers to create a dynamic charge or a defensive square. Be inspired and inspire others to appreciate the most pivotal moments in military history."

Collectors Showcase: Panther Tank Release


Collectors Showcase: Normandy Panther Tank

The Collectors Showcase is releasing a new Panther Tank series this Christmas season. They will be releasing two variants of panthers for both their Normandy and Winter collections. The Panther tanks are already up on www.BgsToySoldiers.com for pre-order. As with all Collectors Showcase releases, the tanks are extremely limited. With each panther tank the collector will get two sets of tracks, one damaged track and one running track. This way you can display the Panther in action or in a battle damaged diorama.

The tanks also come with a clean look or the Zimmerit version. For those of you unfamiliar with the Zimmerit finish, Germany coated some of their tanks in a rigid paste covering to reduce magnetic attraction of the tank to combat anti-tank magnetic mines from being attracted to their tanks. Even though, Germany was the only country that widely used the magnetic mines during World War II??

Also available are Panzer Crew Casualty set, which actually fits the copula of all tanks released by Collectors Showcase, which include the Tiger tanks, Sturmgeschutze, and the newest Panter. These are also available for the Normandy and Winter collections. The Panzer tanks are set at $159.00 and the Casualty packs are $59.00. The tanks are selling fast, so we will try to get extras to accommodate everyone out there that wants to get one of these fine military
miniature tanks.
