Hi. I saw shots of the Macedonians in the latest Toy Soldier Collector, so went on the website to have a look. They're under future productions.
They're absolutely lovely and very detailed. the Toy Collector mag. said production in Sept. 2015 so i meiled Scott Lam at Ex-Fo to ask because I really want some!!!!
Had a speedy reply. He said the Macedonians were 99% ready to go and release date would either be Oct. 2016 or by November. however, as Scott said they were 99% ready, I hope he means 2015!!!
They're doing 13 packs ranging from Companions (different sleeves for Philip and Alexander), Thessalians, Greek allied cavalry, Prodromoi, pikes, Hypaspists, Agrianians (slingers and bows), Greek allied hoplites, Paeonian cavalry, Peltasts. I think I've remembered everything. So a very exciting range and if the other sets are anything to go by, some very lovely sculpted figures.
I asked about Late Persian figures, and was told that all the other ranges (Persians, Thracians etc) are designed to be compatible with the new Macedonian figures.
Not too sure myself, as I think the Persian cavalry might need to be different and I'd need to get some hoplite shields to "convert" the Kardakes. But a very good range nonetheless.
they also plan the chariots pictured above, as well as camels and elephants and baggage, etc.
So I hope to get some when they finally come out and have bought a copy of "About Caesar" ready!!!!!
Hope that helps.
