J. Lloyd is finalizing the Spring 2015 Tim Mee reissues and are proud to announce that a Tim Mee Willys Jeep and Anti-Tank Gun set will be in the lineup. They'll be configured just like the last Processed Plastic production versions with molded steering wheel and slotted hitch. The set will be in olive green and likely include 2 Jeeps and 2 Guns. We're looking into new Header Card art that is more vintage looking with artwork based on this iconic photograph taken in 1941 of the Bantam Jeep (the forerunner of the Willys MB) during an early test run. Hanging on for mercy is the 37mm anti-tank gun.
In addition to the Jeep & Gun set, J, Lloyd will also be releasing the Suburban Family figures from 70s. While these are not military figures, they were often paired with either a white or red Willys MB Jeep (posing as a kind of recreational vehicle) in the People Play Figure sets.
