Not sure at the moment I'm afraid, I need to get on top of all the other releases that are still stuck in the system.  I'm hoping to get through quite a bit in September and October, we should have a new caster starting for us soon which will alleviate some of the pressure on the guys and we can start getting some other jobs done.

Just to update on this, we've been checking all of the moulds and unfortunately it looks like we'll need to make new production moulds for everything.  This of course means that the ranges won't be available as quickly as planned, but we're still hoping to have the first of them online before the end of the year.  We'll try and release them one at a time, with the Islamics, Teutonics and Russians being the first ones I'd think.

Yes, after those.  I am signing up for the TB Islamics and the new Arab horse, however.

Yes. He'll be there for a spell.   :)
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

There is a Gandalf registered on the Forum, and he might indeed work for us...

Hello

Pity about the old production moulds. Will just have to sit and wait patiently a bit longer (not really, how do you think I got my nickname :D :D).

You do seem to have a lot on the go at the moment, hope everything smooths out for you.

Cheers

We were a bit concerned when we first saw them but we hoped they'd be better once we started spinning them.  The main problem is that they've been made in a lower temp silicon rather than a regular type, so they're a bit softer and they heat up very quickly.  Within 3 or 4 spins, the heat expands the rubber and you start to get flashing around the figures.

Waiting patiently for the Teutonics and their oppos to become available for a DBA related idea.

Best of British for all your upcoming releases Leon.

If you rubber is overheating I suggest you slow down and use some lube

Seriously the delay will stop me buying them and allow me to complete other projects.
