To be brutally frank, I am getting a real kick out of seeing the stuff from other manufacturers more than Verlinden. The sad fact (at least for me) is there are so many outstandingly exciting projects in the works and being rumoured that Verlinden's releases are leaving me a little 'flat' .
IMHO, this is a company that is crying out for a more 'radical' approach. Sticking a couple of blankets on figs and selling them as P.O.W.s is not my idea of inspirational. Nor (as Matt correctly pointed out) is selling old figures in their component parts a particularly impressive move either. Yes they are useful - more useful would be Verlinden getting some new designers and getting some plastic-injection moulding gear....Jim

My sentiments exactly... I though hiring Maciek from Airborne Miniatures and couple of his wonderfull 120mm OIF figures would be turn in their figure policy, but I was wrong... Since Maciek no longer sculpts for VP I think there are far better figure manufacturers on the market today. IMHO VP completely lost its reputation of great resin accessories and figures company.

Nothing that really floats my boat. THe Jagdtiger interior might be worth a look though.

The concensus seems to be shared on other boards. Spotted this on Missing Links last night regarding the Dragoon figure. Thought it was quite funny!
Well, Verlinden does it again...

Yes Frank, my sentiments entirely. I was at the point of 'editorializing' in the news story but discression got the better of me...Jim
