The Shot Heard Round the World!

Today, here in New England, we are kicking off the start of a special year in America: the 250th anniversary of the beginning of the American Revolution! 

To celebrate we have two new hard plastic box sets that will be the first in a new Age of Reason range which will cover the late 1600s to the early 1800s.

The first two sets for the Age of Reason are focused on the Battles of Lexington and Concord (April 19. 1775) and the Battle of Bunker Hill (June 17, 1775). 

Both sets have been sculpted by Rob Macfarlane and Peter Dennis has kindly done the illustrations for the boxes.

The first set are Minutemen, the colonial militias who banded together and trained throughout the colonies to oppose the British. This will be a 30 figure set featuring a variety of firing/loading/advancing poses, multiple musket types, and a diverse selection of heads. 

The second set are the 5th Regiment of Foot Grenadiers who took place in the action during both battles. This will also be a 30 figure set of Grenadiers skirmishing with Brown Bess muskets. 

As you can see both sets are already tooled. Stephan Huber is in the process of painting the models and we will soon have them available! Mark your calendars as both sets will be on pre-order Friday May 2nd! 

More sets will follow for this range. Please let us know what you would like to see!
