Does anyone know what happened to this line? I see some mentions of it online, and found one page with some painted up from 2015, but they are no longer on Eureka's website and I can't find them anywhere else. I liked the look of the US troops, and while there are one or two other options for North Korea/China I can't seem to find any other US 1950s troops in 15mm. |

You can use any US ate war WWII figures i.e. figures wearing the M43 uniform. Off hand, the US figures from Peter Pig are in the M43 uniform. what about flames of war nam series? Completely different uniform and equipment. |

E-mail Eureka directly, I think they can send you a list and will cast them for you. |

@irishserb- thanks. I contacted Eureka USA and they told me to try the Australian site. I'll update when I hear back from them. @jdginaz- thanks. The issue I'm having is that most companies "late" WWII US infantry includes plenty of Parsens jackets and puttees. For winter, they're all in mackinaws and overcoats. They also usually have Thompsons instead of M3s for the subguns. That leaves me at around 30% of the sculpts unusable. I haven't specifically looked at Peter Pig as I don't like their style |

No response from Eureka. I'll post back here if I hear from them. |

I heard back from Nic at Eureka Australia. Looks like he actually wrote back to me a while ago and it was lost in the ether. Bottom line is that Eureka only made it through a small range of North Korean figures before the project ended. Here is the list and prices he sent me: North Korean infantry with rifle (6 poses)- AUD$0.80
North Korean Officer (2 poses)- AUD$0.80
North Korean artillery crew (3 poses)- AUD$0.80
North Korean Mortar with 2 crew (1 pose)- AUD$3.50
North Korean HMG with 2 crew (1 pose)- AUD$3.50 Prices are per pose, randomly selected as with the rest of the minis on Eureka's site. Unfortunately, that leaves me at square one on the US infantry. I saw the Eureka pieces here, and misunderstood that the US forces were from the same line:
link Does anyone know who makes ChukaZulu's US figures pictured in the link? |
