The last year or two has seen a series of new, injection-moulded styrene manufacturers emerge. One of the most interesting and imaginative, has undoubtedly been MiniArt...
MiniArt were present at the recent Nuremberg Toy Fair and one of the more pleasant meetings I had was with the small team which is keeping this company right at the forefront. Due to the large list of new releases, I will be breaking the news of their scheduled releases into four seperate reports - 1/35th Figures, 1/35th Armor, 1/35th Diorama sets and, for the larger scale enthusiast, even more of their 1/16th scale figures.

For me, MiniArt is one of the most imaginative of companies at the present moment, reading this list will undoubtedly help to confirm this!

No word on EXACT release dates, but a lot of the sets are well into preparation.

MiniArt: 1/35th Scale Figure Releases for 2007

35037 - Soviet Self-Propelled Gun Crew.

35040 - German Artillery Crew Riders

the German seated artillery crew could be a good basis for filling vehicles of any sort, i'll keep my eye out for them

Some nice sounding pieces there. Nice to see some British/Commonwealth stuff instead of Yanks. Hopefully more soon. Ross

It's just astonishing what they come up with in 2 years !!!! Their figure releases are so cool ! I've seen Russian artillery troops eating on a gun on the prime portal report, where are they ? I love the russian naval troop and seated germans (which permits so many poses and situation !). But the sets with walking troops, I found them more conventionnal, less "Miniarted" ! The buildings are just marvelous. cannot wait for the Normandy destroyed house and french shop... In terms of figures, we cannot say Miniart are the best detail figures of the market (which is for me Dragon and their Gen 2), but the overall poses and details are exquisite for the price. Long live Miniart, I will support you as long as my wallet can do. Julien

Seated German Artillery Crew - stroke of genius - what every halftrack needs - long overdue solution ! SDL

Wow, very interesting and innovative MiniArt has some really good armor kits (T-70's) and figure sets out there. Its great to see them expanding their line a bit and tempting us with new realeases. I'm glad I started stocking their kits not too long ago, as they are already hot sellers !! Thanks for posting the news, Jim ! Cheers !! Robert
