REMEMBER THE ALAMO

If you live in Texas you’ll never be allowed to forget it! It’s a state law. Seriously but, as you all know, K&C bought ”Kings X“ in San Antonio back in January of this year. We knew even then that we would need a ”signature“ collection for the store. And as we’re just 200 short yards from the Alamo itself, it did not require ”rocket science“ to decide what K&C should do.

As some of you know, back in the 90’s K&C produced a small series of ”Alamo“ themed figures in conjunction with Kings X original owners. These were in the old glossy traditional style and were modestly successful.

Well, now it is a whole different ball game…new paint style, upgraded sculpting and a large range of figures both Mexican and Tesian that will be sold (mostly) as single item pieces in their own beautifully designed souvenir boxes.

To go with the figures K&C has resculpted the Alamo chapel façade to make a historic backdrop. K&C’s first release comprises Santa Anna’s Mexican Army troops.
