Thomas Gunn Miniatures: Latest Releases

If you've been wondering what's happening in the world of Thomas Gunn then you need look no further. Courtesy of the newsletter that popped into my inbox the other day and reproduced here for your enjoyment, you will soon be up to date

Dear All

Well today I finally get to go on my holidays but before I go please see below this months offerings from Thomas Gunn.

As I will be away all week, please email all enquiries/orders to helen@tomgunn.co.uk, I will be back in work on the 25th August.

There are no FFL figures this month but have no fear, at least 6 new figures are now in the pipeline including an artillery piece!

Last month we sold out of V013A, FFL024D, CLUB 12B and surprise surprise Femme Fatale SS035! The majority of the other releases from July are also on the critical list, not sure if the economy is picking up but things do seem to be on the up.

Our new wooden warbirds also did very well with the Dornier 335 now sold out and I believe we only have 1 x ME 262 left.  I am hoping to offer a new Warbird in early September, it’s German in case anybody needed a clue!

OK so lets kick off with the French Indian War and work our way through the ages:

French Indian War 60th Regiment of Foot

FIW002 Standing Firing Rifleman 60th Foot limited to 100 pieces in 1/32 scale and priced at $40

FIW003 Kneeling Rifleman 60th Foot limited to 100 pieces in 1/32 scale and priced at $40

FIW 004 Charge Your Bayonet!  Limited to 100 pieces in 1/32 scale and priced at $40






World War One

LOA 012: A kneeling and lying down rifleman from the Bedouin tribe, limited to 100 in number and priced at $79 for the two figures.

LOA 013: Two kneeling Bedouin figures, one crouched over looking for a new target and a kneeling reload figure. Limited to 100 in number and priced at $79 for the two figures




GW044: The last of our marching Belgians, this time without a moustache, some fighting Belgians coming in the next few months! This figure limited to 100 in number and priced at $40.



GW025B: A British guard in Pith Hat and desert gear with Boxer puppy dog and sign makes a very nice set. Limited to 100 in number and priced at $40.00  

GW025C: An Australian guard in Pith Hat and desert gear with Boxer puppy dog and sign makes a very nice set. Limited to 100 in number and priced at $40.00


  

GW028B:  Two German Stormtroopers wearing gas masks in the classic kneeling and standing firing positions. Limited to 100 in number and priced at $79 for the two figures. GW031, 32 and 40 will also follow shortly in the gas mask version.



World War Two

LUFT012: A Technician sits at a table with a cup of coffee, it could be the Neptun radar for a night fighter being repaired or part of the guidance system for the Wasserfall - you decide! Priced at $43.50 and limited to 100 in number.



SS037B: A follow on from our first Maiale: This time with U Boat Commander Wolfgang Luth who is looking on in amusement at what has become of the once mighty Kriegsmarine!

Luth was a very interesting character with one of the highest gross tonnage scores of any U Boat commander during WW2. Awarded the Knights Cross he was unfortunately shot and killed by a German sentry days after the war ended! Priced at $125 and limited to 40 pieces worldwide.

 

COMM 006: The Royal Navy captured and then copied the Maiale, renaming it the Chariot. Some of these Chariots were then used in operations against the Axis forces, albeit not as successfully as the Italian raid on Alexandria harbour.

Our Chariot comes in green livery with a Commando guard, other Diver figures are planned later to go with this set.

Priced at $125 and limited to 70 in number worldwide.




PARA009: A British Paratrooper stands on guard with Sten submachine gun. Priced at $40 and limited to 100 in number worldwide.



FJ010: Major Heinz Adolff, a posthumous recipient of the Knights Cross who died whilst trying to drive a truck loaded with bombs onto Primosole bridge, in a bid to stop the Allies recapturing it during 1943.

This figure comes in a highly detailed pattern jacket with rank and helmet insignia, one of our best FJ's to date! Limited to 100 in number and priced at $40.



CLUB14: Kurt Welter with Schapps his dog, makes a call on a field telephone. Will go beautifully with LUFT 12 Technician above and whatever aircraft you have in your collection!

Free to all Gunn Club members who spend $150 or more through our website or can be bought as part of a regular purchase, priced at $43.50, limited to 120 in number worldwide.



Next month will see a couple more MAD FFL figures plus some WW2 Russian and Jungle troops, from what I have seen so far there will be some very happy collectors out there once these are released!

Best wishes
