We only have to forget, for a couple of hours, the original players. We hope to see the film next week.joppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334867727613848852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3929808893459817585.post-2479807540046387692016-02-04T04:11:33.995-08:002016-02-04T04:11:33.995-08:00A Most interesting Post on the Lovable- Dad's ...A Most interesting Post on the Lovable- Dad's Army...Hope the NEW Film goes well- it is very hard to re-do something in film that attempts to break new ground- for so long the Original has been a real Iconic Show- and the characters, over time have built up a real following- Worldwide...very hard to introduce replacement actors and hope they go over well in the role.

Sergeant Wilson; he had that laid back attitude that reminds me so much of myself!!<br />The figures were actually a group of castings by, if I recall correctly, SSD Models, sometime at the end of the 90s, and did represent the characters quite well. They came individually packaged and I remember having trouble getting the arms in the right places. Unfortunately Jones' bayonet was very fragile and had to be replaced with a pin.joppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334867727613848852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3929808893459817585.post-56497995336761364722016-02-03T15:43:05.263-08:002016-02-03T15:43:05.263-08:00I will definitely see it as the series was one of ...I will definitely see it as the series was one of my favorites and I still laugh at it. The characters were really unique and the viewer can identify with a variety of character types. Who was your favorite, Joppy? <br /><br />Were the figures meant to be the characters or are they your adaptations of regular figures? i really like them; I thought they might be adapted from Airfix Multipose.Quantrilltoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03824237942276969880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3929808893459817585.post-55230242035276261092016-02-03T09:48:07.087-08:002016-02-03T09:48:07.087-08:00Great figures but not sure I will go to the film,a...Great figures but not sure I will go to the film,a tad fearful so to do...tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3929808893459817585.post-27440326158426743312016-02-03T08:51:07.192-08:002016-02-03T08:51:07.192-08:00Love the TV show.

My wife and I saw a table and decorations that reminded me of the situations and era depicted in the TV show when we visited back in 2012.<br /><br />Nice figurines, BTW.Dragon Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086520095836955243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3929808893459817585.post-50186970056438083832016-02-03T06:19:56.729-08:002016-02-03T06:19:56.729-08:00I do want the film to be good, but I fear the inev...I do want the film to be good, but I fear the inevitable drawing of parallels will see it come off a pale imitation. That said, I shall undoubtedly add it to the DVD collection when it is finally released. Speaking of collections your 54mm models are superb!
