In the first of no less than FOUR reports on MiniArt''s planned releases for ''2007, we begin with a look at their 1/35th scale figures. No cliché here, but this company is really ''setting the pace'' with some truly imaginative releases. Still to come, Diorama material, AFVs and 1/16th scale historical figures - just be patient!. The report, along with box-art from the new releases, can be seen:

If you have comments or questions please post them here.

Thanks!

These two really caught my eye! You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of them would you?

Some nice sounding pieces there. Nice to see some British/Commonwealth stuff instead of Yanks. Hopefully more soon.

It's just astonishing what they come up with in 2 years !!!!
Their figure releases are so cool !
I've seen Russian artillery troops eating on a gun on the prime portal report, where are they ?
I love the russian naval troop and seated germans (which permits so many poses and situation !). But the sets with walking troops, I found them more conventionnal, less "Miniarted" !
The buildings are just marvelous. cannot wait for the Normandy destroyed house and french shop...
In terms of figures, we cannot say Miniart are the best detail figures of the market (which is for me Dragon and their Gen 2), but the overall poses and details are exquisite for the price.
Long live Miniart, I will support you as long as my wallet can do.

Seated German Artillery Crew - stroke of genius - what every halftrack needs - long overdue solution !

Wow, very interesting and innovative

MiniArt has some really good armor kits (T-70's) and figure sets out there. Its great to see them expanding their line a bit and tempting us with new realeases. I'm glad I started stocking their kits not too long ago, as they are already hot sellers !!

Thanks for posting the news, Jim !

Cheers !!
