| ALAMO PLAYSET #5 "DeGuello" |
We are proud to, at last, unveil "Alamo Playset #5" which we have entitled "Deguello!" (based upon the
Mexican bugle call which basically meant 'no quarter", decreeing that all Texian defenders would be put
to the sword).
This set contains an amazing collection of new poses which bring the "action" inside the Alamo to a new
frenzied level. Our aim was to focus this set on the fighting which took place "inside" the mission as the
Mexican Army attacked the Texians & Tennesseans around "the mound" and in the "courtyard"( see
playset #1).
As we 'go to print", it looks like this set will have 14 brand new never seen before poses including 6
Mexican poses. 9 of these poses were rendered in pewter (at additional cost to us) in order to be able to
"capture the action" which we wanted to convey. Simply put, many of these poses just could not have
been done in plastic or in resin. These pewter figures, like the Tennessean & Mexican pewter figure
vignette from playset #4--which have received 'rave reviews" from countless numbers of you--are painted
in single colors to compliment the colors being used for the rest of our figures. (We appreciate very much
those of you who have contacted us to say kind things regarding the pewter poses in Playset 4). If you've
enjoyed Alamo playsets 1 thru 4, we think you are "gonna" be very pleased with "Deguello!".
Deguello's pewter poses include Generallissimo Santa Anna on horseback; a Mexican bugler (of
course! how else are you going to play the Deguello??); and three unbelievable "hand to hand"
'vignettes' containing 7 figures plus horse which show some of the final moments as the Mexicans
overran the walls and engaged in fights to the death with our valiant defenders. One set is made up of
what we call the "Tex/Mex Trio" and shows a Tennessean fighting off 2 attackers simultaneously--it also
comes with a mini terrain base. A second grouping portrays a Mexican "presidio" lancer charging hell
bent for leather after a running defender. You'll note that with the proper positioning of the lance, the
moment of "impact'" can be created if you desire such realism. The third vignette is made up of a falling
wounded Tennessean just as he is being "bayonetted' ....note that the bayonet has been left it's full
length so that the 2 figures may be used independently--however, the figures are designed so that the
bayonet may be inserted into the abdomen of the falling hero..again, if you so desire. (Merely clip off a
small portion of the bayonet tip).
Also new to the collecting world are 5 brand new resin "Texians" which include some exciting new poses.
Our first 2 "Tejanos" or Mexican defenders are included as are 2 more Tennesseans and one more
Texian. Personally, I like "em all" but really like the fella reduced to fighting with a knife and pistol butt. All
of these 5 new resin figures show incredible detail and are evidence of our vast improvements in the
areas of resin production both in terms of detail and the pliability of the resin.
The "mound" or defensive embrasure which was built and designed to "back stop" the main gate is
approximately 18" by 15" is another excellent terrain piece; once placed "behind" the main gate (playset
#3) you'll find your Alamo compound really beginning to take shape. A Marx cannon has been included
along with a another bag of approximately 25 Marx Mexicans. Also included are a selection of
approximately 13 to 14 injection molded Conte Alamo defenders which have appeared in previous
playsets. This means that the set includes approximately 27-28 "Conte poses" plus the Marx Mexicans.
