Figarti Miniature: 76.2 AT gun - Panzer Killer

This month, Figarti is adding to their Russian WWII collection with the 76.2 AT Gun - Panzer Killer, JSU-152, and three Russian Soldiers advancing labeled "Forward!". These three figures will compliment their other recent Russian collection that included the JS-2. All are a part of their highly detailed and very popular 1:30 scale collection, which are limited edition figures. All three figure sets are available for pre-order at www.BgsToySoldiers.com and should be shipping in the second half of July 2010. The sets, and retail prices are:

- EFR-002 - 76.2 AT gun - Panzer Killer ($215.00)
- EFR-004 - JSU-152 ($219.00)
- EFR-005 - Forward! ($95.00)

The Russian JSU-152 self-propelled gun combined three battle roles : heavy assault gun, heavy tank destroyer and heavy self-propelled artillery. Nicknamed the "Zveroby" or "Animal Killer" by Soviet tank crews because of the devastating effect of its 95 Ib. projectile on Panthers, Tigers and Elefants, the ISU-152 was one of the few Russian tanks capable of destroying heavy German tanks. It suffered from an extremely low rate of fire due to its two piece ammunition, but this disadvantage was countered by massed ambushes of 4-5 vehicles firing in salvo at a single target's flanks. Following the great success of its JS-2, Figarti Miniatures proudly adds the "Beast" (EFR-004) to its line of Russian vehicles. Done the Figarti Way, this massive tank comes with two figurines. In addition, Figarti Miniatures adds the "Panzer Killer" (EFR-002), a Russian 76.2mm antitank gun with four figurines; and "Forward!" (EFR-005), three Russian figurines advancing through
the rubble of the Thousand Year Reich.

Coming in August 2010 from Figarti are figures based on the recent blockbuster movie, "The Hurt Locker". They will be 1:32 scale US military figures based out of Afghanistan.
