| ALAMO PLAYSET #6 "The West Wall" |
Set 6 depicts the "West Wall" while set 7 recreates the "Convent Wall & HQ" or southern
end of the "long barracks" and connects to the Chapel front... ( the area which set 7
portrays is widely viewed by most Alamo buffs as being the Headquarters since this is
how several of the movies have shown it....in actual history it was possibly used as the
hospital during the siege and was NOT Travis' HQ).

Perhaps most importantly to some of you, the Conte Mexicans have finally arrived and you can now do away with
all Mexican troops by other manufacturers.....possibly relegating them to 'supporting roles' or otherwise using them
as first wave 'cannon fodder'!!!

As in the past we are offering special introductory pricing for both sets to thank those of you who have been on the
waiting list for so very long.....also, very importantly, we are offering some very special bonuses to those who buy
BOTH sets 6 & 7--these are described at the bottom of the page and are limited to the first wave of buyers.
By my count there are 44 new sculpts. 30 of these are injection molded plastic whilst the others are 'single color'
fine pewter. The injection molded poses are the most highly animated & detailed plastic figures which we have
ever produced. The engineering & design on these took 'a while' and a lot of cash but was well worth it as you are
going to see we were able to maximize 'undercuts' unlike anything you have ever seen on plastic figures before.
Also, the horrible 'block-out" which is normally present on all plastic figures has been virtually eliminated.... simply
put, the molding & production of the Mexican Army has set a new standard for us and the industry. this ability to
avoid blockout just revolutionized 'thangs' for all of we plastic lovers!!) (I can't wait to see our NEW plastic GIs,
Romans, Spartans, Rev War, Rangers/Indians done in this fashion!! Coming in 06!!! if all goes well and cash flow
allows...)

| SPECIALS, SPECIALS, SPECIALS |
| LIMITED TO THE FIRST 250 DIRECT COLLECTOR ORDERS ONLY |
As always, we like to say 'thank you' (with SPECIALS) to those plastic collectors who buy 'early' and direct from us as
you are the ones who help to make these sets possible. In this era of dramatically increasing oil prices--which
adversely affect EVERYTHING we do, we are doing what we can to keep prices down and the value of our playsets
high. We are proud that sets 6/7 contain ONLY Conte figures including numerous single color pewter figures which
are quite costly for us to include. NO RESIN PARTS (which are relatively inexpensive to produce while having
inherent decomposition and breakage 'issues' are included!!)
Some of the Mexicans have as many as 7 separately molded parts; and while driving our moldmaking costs up, we
now can enjoy “full-round” animation, amazing 'undercuts', almost total lack of block-out and crisp detail. I especially
draw your attention to their faces--never in plastic toy soldier history have 'expressions' like these been seen.
Thanks for your 'early' support--it is greatly appreciated and allows me to continue producing the figures we all want!

troops could take on 'at least a thousand' Marx Mexicans.....)
