This is the first successful spin of the new spincast mould. It’s taken a few weeks of R&D to get it to this stage, so apologies for the lack of news.
Clockwise from the 12 o’clock position there is
710 – Policeman with speed camera (now cast as one piece figure)
704 – Marshal with flag (copy of metal version – detailed re-release scheduled soon)
714 – Marshal with debris
705 – Marshal with extinguisher, new details on figure and fire extinguisher now separate piece
713 – Marshal with broom
709 – Marshal with phone
707 – Fireman standing at ease – now a one piece figure
702 – Spectator in anorak
712 – Rally marshal at startgate #2
715 – Amateur photographer
This will help speed up production, and more importantly reduce the failure rate, which was running depressingly high when attempting to mould stock for the outstanding orders. The very poor success rate has had an adverse effect on production of figures for sale, and this has effectively halted shipments since the start of the year.
