More Alamo

More Alamo.   Ok I like it but not one of my top three.  A lot of that has to do with the disappointment it ended up being thanks  to CONTE.   I had my Marx, CTS and lines I had added that fit well.  Then along came the Conte line.  Too big and he never finished it in any case.  Now TSSD is giving it a shot.  Based on their past track record of Large figures and the few pictures they have posted I think we are looking at some more BIG guys.  I for one do not need Alamo figures in two scales. I do not need more figures to sit in the dust of my basement with the TSSD Civil War Line.  Funny how most early TSSD soldiers like early Conte figures fit in pretty good with the existing lines of the time . Wonder why that was ? ?  A member tells me he asked TSSD about the size and was told in part TSSD was NOT making CTS or Marx figures......

Popular Topic?

A week or two ago we posted a picture of the Dead and Falling Horses out there.  We seemed to have sparked some interest in the Marx Dead Horse as another site posted a picture and asked was it the Dead or Lying Horse.  I would have thought this "prince of Plastic" would have known that MARX referred to this in the records we have seen as PL-705 Dead Horse.  Silly Expert! LOL LOL
