21st Century Toys

TSSD's website has a short note about 21st Century Toys. If it means what I think we all assume it means, that's too bad. I always appreciated that they could bring historically accurate toys back to the mainstream market. While I didn't collect all their lines, I always looked forward to browsing the O.D. Green section of Wal-Mart, and now that it's not there anymore... kind of depressing. Their 1/32 vehicles were amazing, and their figures were always a nice addition to any battlefield. Wish they had gotten the chance to release a few more figure sets, including the WWII British and the Marines that were advertised a few times.

Very very sad... 21st got me in the hobby and they will be sorely missed...

I've read on a couple message boards, and heard through a couple people, that 21st Century may have been bought by another company, so the product line may not be dead. No idea about the truth of the matter, but it's a reason to hold out hope that we'll see the line continued, even if it is simply repaints of old models.
