Hello fellows, on another 1/6th Figure forum some people are saying DiD are planning to release a WWII IJA figure, with the tropical and/or winter uniform concept. Can anyone back this up please?? Thank you!!

 

[furious genius]

It's been mentioned here but I don't know what concrete info, if any, is available. Definitely would be great releases, especially like the idea of a winter uniform (with great coat I hope). Keeping fingers crossed that this does happen.

DiD doing an IJA? FG!

I wish they'd do a British WW2 infantryman or Para first though.

 

[furious genius]

Yeah, I wouldn't throw either one of those off my shelf?! I guess there just seems to be so much of the same thing all the time that when the prospect of something so new occurs it's like a breath of fresh air. Except for ITPT sailors, rare bbi releases (that beautiful Japanese pilot!) and the old 21C release there's a real vacuum in 1:6 Japanese military of WW2. It was nice to see the weapons set that 21C did but we need somebody to produce the troops to use them.

Alls I can say is if DiD does an IJA suddenly DML will be doing an answer version of their own.

This was discussed on another forum too and they all heard from DiD that the next release (before/after the Napoleonic Wars French) is going to be a WWII British in North Africa. I think this one's quite concrete, right guys?

That'll be awesome, I had been saving up for a day like this! :devilhnd

A DID Japanese or a Desert Rat figure would be most welcome.

I have heard the rumor blowing for over a year now on DiD doing a Japanese figure, and yet it just never comes. I keep checkin, and they keep not makin.

We're pretty much all praise for DiD but sometimes I wonder if they're really doing that good, financially speaking. Their release rate has gone down a lot hasn't it? I hope it's the silence before the proverbial storm; a pause between all the nazi stuff and the dawn of some original figures.
The suggested figures would be marvellous.

I wish they would use their double sided printing method on a set of USMC camo utilities! (A full M1941 pack system too, please!)

I am the one that said "I heard" that DID was going to do a N.A. Brit, but I never said that it was concrete, just something that I heard from someone else.

The IJA thing is just second hand info. When the time is right, DiD has been pretty good about giving us the word.
