It would be nice to see you do command sets WITH a horse for the rider. The idea of issuing a mounted figure and no horse is just silly. You could start with a proper horse for your Napoleonic Russian Command set.

i don't think Hät should produce figures in competitive scales like 1/56 or 1/32, focus on 1/72, why make figures that will detract from your main source of income?

I would like to see WWI Austrians (nobody makes them), Napoleonic Austrian and Russian cavalry and artillery (there is none), Crimean war Russian, British and French and some Dark Ages Saxons

Yes to more 1:32 sets and WW1 in particular:Turkish Infantry,British,German,Austro-Hungarian,Russians,French,Italian.GERMAN AFRICAN CAMPAIGN WW1 HOLY GRAIL SET FOR ME with a few Askaris.Armies In Plastic WW1 are ok although some of the figures can be chunky:later releases outside the WW1 period seem to be of a much higher standard.

I don't think scales are necessarily competitive. There are different folks who collect different scales - some, like me collect in more than one scale (I own HaT offerings in both 1/32 and 1/72 the same sets, different scales); others won't cross over. Opening up 1/32 scale - an enormously popular scale, particularly in the USA as well as other parts of the world opens up a new market. Of course, it all depends on choosing the right offerings to make the project fly.
According to my admittedly limited understanding of the production process with improvements in technology once the sculpts are produced it's not too difficult to produce in different scales. If that is true, then in my opinion, to NOT produce in multiple scales would be a potential waste of resources already expended and a missed opportunity.
I don't think that once the ball gets rolling it's necessarily a zero-sum-gain as anything that increases the company's profit margin and keeps it healthy keeps it producing the sets we DO want. I might even see my Pommeranian Piccolo Players one day...

I have always wanted to have 1/32 Mexican Revolution figures. Villistas, Zapatistas, Mexican Federales, Pershing's Punitive Expedition, American mercenaries, Yaqui Indians. The Mexican Revolution is a great setting for skirmish wargames.

Scales are not competitive. I would like to see some janissaries, Polish and Russian armies of the 17th century, WWI Austrians, Turks and British of the Mesopotamian campaign, 1813 Austrians with shako, Seven Years' War Austrians.

I ONLY buy 1/32 and want some 7YW Prussians! Please make more! Yokai above has excellent suggestions.
I like French/Indian War best of all, but Victorian era is great, too, if well covered elsewhere.

1/32 Napoleonic: French and Spanish navies (There's nothing to go up against the Replicants Royal navy!), French royalists, Spanish guerrillas, other less-represented countries Colonial Wars: Maoris and British WW2: Greek/British insurgents (a la Guns of Navarone) American Revolution: esp cavalry But PLEASE--NO MORE MARCHING. Action poses, please! Also, make the bases a little larger. Many of the Napoleonics have a hard time standing. |

Napoleonic Austrian or Russian cavalry and artillery; those Austrian Infantry with shakos that never made it to the production line; and anything for a Peninsular War Spanish or Portuguese Army.

I would like to see more figures for the Seven Years War period in 1/32. The Prussians were excellent in scale and they blended nicely with Barzso figures and other brands. I used them as Hessian soldiers with the Barzso colonial figures. It would be nice to have some different SYW Hat figures that so I could use them as SYW Prussians... You should release more of the 1/32 Hat SYW Hat Prussians too, I have been searching for them for a few years now.
Also I would like to see some Dark Age warriors that could be used as either Vikings, Saxons or as peasants. If you made these figures at the same scale as the SYW 1/32 Prussians, which were a little bigger than some of your other figures that would be great. There are a lot of medieval age collectors that would like to have some more figures that would fit with the old Conte and Barzso medieval figures. It would be a nice touch to have the figures with separate arms, heads or weapons too so you could make different poses.
And lastly, I would like to see some nicely sculpted World War II Japanese Infantry in the same scale as the SYW Prussians also. You could make them with separate arms or weapons to get more poses.
On a side note whatever figures you chose to make, it would be nice if they went with some of the other companies current figures. I think you would have more sales this way. X-Force is making figures from all ranges right now and will be heading into some of the ranges that I talked about above. Barzso and LOD are rumored to be releasing a Yorktown set at the end of the year. The Command sets should be the last set in any new release also, I think you would sell the least amount of these sets compared to the Action and Marching sets with a collector would buy multiple sets as opposed to one or two of the Command sets.
Thanks for reading, Mike.

Maybe best also look what other makers are launching, or have produced recently. XForce is now focust on Napoleonics. So other periodes may be more opportune.

Napoleonic Portuguese and Spanish Army +1. I would also love Napoleonic British, French sailors and marines maybe a large set with both nations? |

French Chasseur a Cheval - something no one has ever made correctly and a figure that is useable in many armies and easily modifiable for many other nation's cavalry. Also, Russian artillery would be good - gunners and guns.
Use common sense and don't do things that others already make or that are very niche. Tommies and Kaiserliches are interesting, but are very niche compared to Napoleonics. You made all the Germans but failed to fill the gaps in the French, Russian or British lines on the market. Do not make a stupid mistake like that again. Keep "actions poses" to a minimum - or avoid them preferably. The majority of collectors want "rank and file" not silly useless poses like Armies in Plastic does for line troops. Your previous Napoleonic sets were quite nice.
Could you perhaps use a harder plastic?

So basically I would love to see the French Line infantry in campaign dress 1805-1812 Figures in 1/32. I once saw masters of HaT a couple of years ago, it included the possibility to give your Line infantry or the bicornes or the Shako's, the figures were stunning and I believe they will sell well since their is a basic need for proper French Line infantry, not Elites..Just the Fusiliers!
Looking forward to see how this will develop!

I would like to see the 1/32nd scale SYW Prussians re-released. I have started buying other manufacturers figures for this conflict and now need these figures to represent Brunswicker´s or Hessians.
Best regards,
Malcolm

My reasons are purely selfish, the more effort you put in to 28mm and 54mm the less likely I am to see the 20mm Prussian Artillery limbers and caissons that have been listed as future sets for many many years. Obviously the 28/54mm fans will not agree |

It would be good to see the SYW Austrians successfully go into production. Additional sets for this era could include some cavalry and artillery for Prussians and Austrians (dragoons and curassiers). Also British and Russians in SYW.
In Napoleonics - the Austrian infantry with changeable heads. Austrian Prussian and Russian cavalry. British line infantry and French line infantry sets some of which you began to do some scoping of possible sets and initial modelling.
Byzantine infantry and their adversaries.

I would love to see HaT make some 1/72 Napoleonic Hanoverians or Belgian/Dutch Carabibeers or any thing else that is not yet been made by other plastic companies. Sothing nice and fresh would go down well right now.

Great that the 1/32 line seems to be revitalized again! I would like to see more 1/32 Napoleonics, particularly Austrian army and French cavalry as there are so little of those out there. in agree with you! |

in my opinion giving more commercial strong about historic figures ( in plastic 1:32) means to persevere in a "Story" coherently....The story I like the best ( here) is <napoleonic hera>. The most important thing is improuving the sculpturing and mouled performance.

Finish the Balearic slingers please!. The Rome vs Carthage 1/32 set are missing slingers and maybe Cretan archers.
