Quiet for several weeks, The Collectors Showcase has begun to shed light on the first batch of new products expected in 2013. Likely due out in February, their first set of figures is based around the US 2nd Infantry Division after it moved inland from Omaha Beach in Normandy. Several figure sets will be offered along with a 1:30 scale reproduction of a 57mm anti-tank gun. Look for further product details in the days ahead.
Just in time for the holidays comes the latest Collectors Showcase ensemble fit for a manger. Besides their Winter SS collection available in various poses and groupings, comes two new iterations of their Tiger I heavy tank. Seen here is panzer ace Michael Wittmann’s mount used on the Russian Front during the winter of 1943-’44.
Also in stock is a Tiger I tank painted in desert livery, depicting a vehicle that saw action in Tunisia during late 1942-early 1943. If you’re a Roman Empire aficionado, then you’ll be happy to learn about their latest Claudian Invasion sets, which includes a Celtic chariot complete with horses and warriors.
When you combine legendary panzer ace, Michael Wittmann, with a finely detailed Tiger I tank, you get a winning combination that is sure to wow the collector crowd. And that’s exactly what The Collectors Showcase had in mind when they announced an all-new, limited edition 1:30 scale Tiger I tank based upon a steed he commanded in the winter of 1943-’44 (CS00648). Due out some time in October and with a limited run of just 150 pieces, the Wittmann ‘S04’ Tiger could likely set a sales record as word spreads regarding its release and the holiday season approaches.
