Looks like two more kits on the way from Dragon, a set of German figures in Greece and a Japanese tank.
Dragon has announced two more additions that people will have to add to their growing build lists. Starting off with a set of German figures from the Brandenburg unit, this is a four figure set representing elite soldiers during the battle on Leros. Next is a Japanese Type 95 Light Tank, and according to Dragon every sprue in the kits uses slide molding technology which will deliver outstanding detail.

6743 – German Brandenburg Troops, Leros 1943
6767 – IJA Type 95 Light Tank “Ha-Go” Early Production

According to Dragon Models USA, both kits are slated for a January 2013 release.

Now those are some figures I'd like to have. Don't think anyone's done Brandenburg figures yet. -Conor

Another one of those strange sets DML likes to offer. It is hard to imagine the M.G. crew firing and the one with the M.P standing straight up, Seems like he should be crouched down some. The one with the rifle looks to fit with the M.G. team but the other is a nice tall target. Now the tank has more appeal to me, good looking and a good support piece for any of the Marine sets they have.

I wouldn't call this a strange kit. Dragon has issued figure kits in the past that are basically two pairs of figures with different kit and uniforms, and even different seasons or time periods. Apart from both pairs being superimposed on the rather cheesy background, it's clear these are just that - two MG troops with regular helmets and uniforms, and two paratroopers in camo para smocks, so they are not really meant to be put all in one diorama. Personally I like this approach as you can mix and match certain figures or split them up into different dios.

I like this idea as well. Sometimes a pair of figures carry off the storyline, as well as four do. Don´t know how many figure x 4 sets I have, that are now x2 or x3, because I have only used a figure or two. Sets like these are much better IMO. All 4 can be used.

Hey, forget the figures, this is a 1/35th scale JAPANESE TANK!!!!

I agree with Bill. It's all about the tank.

re the type 95 tank long time coming should go well the the Ka-mi and the type 89s from fine molds.Have just received the Pit-Road Vickers Crossley armoured car also nice.Now we need some Chinese and allied opposition figures and armour to go with it.Chinese Nationalist and Red army figures nearly nonexistent.
