Both heads off for me mind you I will be buying at least two sets as I will have to have both styles in my collection. Now call me greedy & I know its been rejected already but if you added a set of grenadier heads as well greedy people like me would buy 3 boxes maybe upping sales by around 30%. I don't know the cost or the logistics involved but I would pay a little extra for more heads as well.  |

If that means that next release will be set off Grenadiers it's good but if not it's disappointing. |

There are no any Austrians on the market after Italeri stopped their 1/32 line. If a miracle happens you can get this old Italeri 6856 set from second hand because last time it was available in store in 2009. Even in this set there was only half box of Grenadiers... |

I would like the sprues to have a full complement of both Helmets and Shakos firstly but, the inclusion of a Grenadiers Cap or two would be very useful ideally with a knapsack with sabre attached (the sabre could easily be removed if not required). |

Will you take a full complement of helmets and shakos but less bodies?

More bodies for me - or sacrificing no more than one body per sprue.

In 1/32 there are only 6 figures per sprue so 15 figures instead of 18 for just more heads isn't good option for me.

For me in 1/32 scale more heads and loosing indeed 3 bodies would be okay! Inwould simply buy more boxes so that is a good thing I guess (for HaT :-) )

Lol In 1/32 I would NOT trade and entire pose (3 figures) for multiple full sets of heads. However, could separate heads be sold in sets of heir own! For example; for a set of Austrian German infantry bodies; it could come with helmets. And then Shakos, Grenadier and corshut heads could be a separate set of heads that can be purchased. |

Maybe we could have the best of both worlds if Hat charged a bit more for the sets, I would pay a higher price for a full set of bodies & heads. |

Buying even hundreds of boxes won't compensate you loosing 1 of 6 poses from entire set. I prefer to make Grenadiers caps using green stuff instead of loosing figure. |

Maybe the solution is this :One head on, one head off, so only have one set off additional heads, but you get two head types in the set as one is already attached to the figures.
Admin, Would this solve the space issue on the sprue and allow for a full set of figures with additional full set of alternative heads? (12 figs 12 extra heads in 1/72 and 6 figs 6 extra heads 1/32).

The vote is overwhelmingly both heads off, so it seems that will be the way to go.

Will you take a full complement of helmets and shakos but less bodies? You surely weren't contemplating not having a full compliment of both heads? Buying 3 boxes to get 1 box worth of figures is not a good thing. I think a full compliment of figures with one head attached and a full compliment of alternative heads would be best, no need to sacrifice a figure and perhaps there might even be room for a few Grenadier heads. Half and half heads could work, buy two boxes and you get one box of each. That's OK but it only works if you want both types. If a figure has to be sacrificed it would have to be the standing at attention guy. Sorry to his fans but it would. I can see the attraction of both heads off in a set like this which depicts the same basic infantry before and after a uniform change. But you did say this was a general question so: In general terms spare heads are often for less needed variations. In that case it's better to have the most popular head moulded onto the body. I also wonder how a set of figures without heads is going to be received by the general market, some folks just don't want to assemble small fiddly parts. I suspect there will be less genuine resistance to the separate heads than there is mock outrage as an excuse for HaT bashing but still, the separate heads might have an effect on sales. |
