I'm interested to know who manufacturers figures for the Falklands War of 1982 – any scale. I know of the following:

Platoon 20 (20mm)
Liberation Minis (20mm)
MoFo (28mm)

Cheers

1/72 Plastic, Matchbox's NATO Paratroopers. Actually the nicest figures airfix ever did. The Combat Miniatures range is very nice too

FAA has nice Para's in cold weather kit as well as a nice assortment of soldiers from Argentina.

I saw an advert in WI a year or two ago for a 15mm Falklands range – does anyone remember who it was?

MJ figures, I have some of the British and the Argie commando's, unpainted of course. I believe the range was sold and then repurchased by MJ. Other other info.

Possibly MJ Figures, now sold by Dragon's Hoard.

They have a fairly decent range, including a few vehicles, Rapier, etc.

MJ had a dedicated range. I seem to recall they had some figures in foxholes (?) I thought MJ took them back too.

We (QRF) can offer vehicles in 15mm, Rapier, Landrover, Scorpion, etc, plus Gazelle, Puma, 105mm howitzer. The PBI1 and 2 (infantry) packs are carrying SLR, GPMG and CG. The modern range also has Milan.

The mj figs are nice and include the best panhard I have ever seen.

Presumably that is out of a choice of… two? I'm only aware of PP and MJ making one in 15mm.

Double Ace04 Aug 2006 9:37 a.m. PST

Yes, they do the foxhole troops too.

Quite useful, especially for the Argies.

The MJ Figures are now sold by Shield Wall Games. I placed a recent order with them and had it in a few days. They have a nice line with British Marines, Paras, and Gurkhas, as well as Argies in foxholes, not in foxholes, and commandos. Add in the Rapier, a 105mm howitzer with crew, the Panhard and the Scorpion, and they have most of your basic ground force needs covered. They are closer to 18mm. At times they also sell some figures on Ebay.
