Blue Moon Manufacturing: New 15/18mm Range for Historicon

Early morning writer writes:

Always pleased to see new ranges from Blue Moon in this scale, even if in eras I'm not interested in. I AM interested in this one, especially waiting to see the civilians pack. But I'm going to hold off on this range until I see if they bring out vehicles to match. Unlike many, I don't see HO vehicles as appropriate matches. I find Blue Moon to be about 1:100 scale (smaller 15s are closer to 1:120) and HO is 1:87. That makes most HO vehicles just too big for me. Also, have to search through a lot of vehicles to find the few useful ones (though there are some good links above). I'm keeping my fingers crossed for vehicles similar to their larger scale offerings and expect to see them in time.

Love the buildings, too. But I think I'll go for scenarios more along the lines of the scenes in Legends of the Fall movie.

And, Russ, if you are still listening in, I'd love to see a set of chain gang men added into the mix, figures that would be suitable for 19th century as well as early 20th. The cops can be from different eras. Need them for my territorial prison for the west but I'm betting others would like them for the gangsters and jail breaks.

And the beat goes on… Blue Moon has just released the first packs in our new The Night Chicago Died range of figures, plus a complete Chicago Town. Let your gangsters try to take over Chicago….if they can. We have 14 Chicago buildings that allow you to make an entire town. All but the warehouse in this range of buildings are copied from period photos of Chicago buildings that played a significant part in the Chicago gangster era. Let your imagination run wild with these great new buildings. You can play zombies versus G-Men and gangsters, or even Mars Invasion games… these buildings will work for so many scenarios! These buildings are designed for you to be able to add second floors and rooms, and are designed to be able to get your hands in to move figures around.

The prolific Blue Moon parade continues! Conservatively estimating, since Cold Wars 2013, Blue Moon has released well over 102 new figure codes, which works out to over 700 new sculpts, plus we have released 15 new buildings. You can expect these types of releases to continue from us.
