I'd like to see some crew fiqures for their High speed tractors

Loading/unloading the tractor, hookng up the gun etc..


I like the sound of that as i am thinking of getting myself one of the high speed tractors, but if nothing comes i will just have to convert some.

HobbyBoss are apparently venturing into making some 1/35th scale figures, what would you like to see in that new range?


With reference to HB's catalogue for 2009-2010, there is not even a section set aside for figures, as a few have said above, there is no such plan (at least up to 2010). That was just a website template including a page for figures.

Since HB launched their Website, they've had that 'Coming Soon' up there...

Again, the tired old litany i'm afraid. Unless Joshua has a direct line to HB, then I fail to see what the point of this thread is. Last time I talked to HB, they didn't even know who we were. So, i'm doubtful that any suggestions posted here are going to glavanize them into action...


Hi Jim . Is there any connection between HobbyBoss and HobbyFan or are they two separate companies?

Thanks

Hi Alan,

HobbyFan is based in Taiwan and affiliated with AFV Club producing mostly resin figures and AM parts for AFV Club kits. Apart from similar in brand names, Hobby Boss is based in Mainland China and has no affiliation with HobbyFan.

I`d personally like to see more modern figures NOT wearing combat gear (by that i mean rear echelon guys).How many of us would love to do a diorama where the guys are chillin` out or are carrying out maintaince of their vehicles or aircraft.
