Today Twisting Toyz posted on various disscussion groups phots and descritions of some new products, one of which will be an exlusive figure for the "Weekend Of Heroes" convention. The figure is an exlusive version of the "Nembo" paratrooper "Ermano", but he is a "Deceima Mas" Swimmer/Parachustist and features some unique webing and equipment. Also featured is a new Italian Berglisari from the RSI period. Looks like some great items coming from Twisting Toyz!

Breaking News from Dragon Expo!
I just got back from Dragon Expo, from which I will post my report momentarily, but first I thought I'd share a bit about the figures that Dragon gave us a sneak peak of after the dinner and trivia contest.
Unfortunately no pictures were allowed, but I was told that photos would be posted shortly. The following figures were shown:
Three new DAK figures, all with redesigned tropical uniforms and new insignia, which you will now be able to add yourself.
*DAK machine gunner with folded tripod.
*DAK artilleryman with a range finder.
* DAK Pioneer
* Luftwafe Hauptfeldwebel POW camp NCO with guard dog, wine bottle and an eye patch.
* Pupchen in winter camo and with skis, with a Heer gunner outfitted in a fully reversible winter splinter camo parka.
* Early war Soviet tanker with blue coveralls, and one rather large wrench.
* Somewhat generic but nonetheless good to have Russian light MG gunner with basic 1942-43 equipment load and uniform.
And I saved the best for last, the Sixth Anniversary figure will be....
A Luftwaffe 20mm Flak with luftwafe gunner!
I'll continue to bring updates on any more news that I heard during the show, as well as attempt to post some photos.
