"By 1918, he was back for a third stint with Sennett, this time leaving behind his grotesque makeup of old for a newer, more refined appearance. Sterling (...) usually in relatively straight roles that no doubt made it hard for audiences to recognize the former slapstick police chief and comic Simon Legree." "Cast in this film as a handsome and desirable orchestra leader, Sterling wears stylish clothes and a pencil mustache — very different from the gaudy garb he donned in the early Keystone films."

What Applications Might The Fashion Sector Have For Apple’s New Vision Pro Headset

One of the topics of conversation in the consumer technology world over this past week has been Apple’s unveiling of its entry into the mixed-reality headset market, the Vision Pro. It’s a category of devices that hasn’t quite delivered on the hype to date, with the headsets of such brands as Meta and Snap having failed to catapult augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) into the mainstream.

Still, the Cupertino firm has a track record of getting itself involved in product categories later than others, only to then become the dominant force in that category.

This brings us neatly onto the subject of what the Vision Pro could do for the world of fashion. So, if you are currently devising or fine-tuning your brand’sluxury marketing strategy, in what ways could this device be used to deliver on your goals and support your business’s growth?

‍The fashion-sector experts have weighed in on the Vision Pro’s potential relevance

Various well-placed observers have come up with their verdicts on how the Apple Vision Pro could affect the fashion sphere.

The Glossy website referenced several of them in a recent article, including Camilla McFarland, VP of operations at the Mojito Web3 platform, who noted that Apple avoided using the terms VR, AR, or the metaverse when announcing the headset, in favour of “spatial computing”.

McFarland said that this tactic enabled Apple to “reset the conversation on their own terms”, adding: “Terms aside, it’s still about enabling a more digitally immersive future for consumers. For brands, it will be even more important now to have a digitally immersive experience and a digital product strategy.”

Certainly, Apple’s presentation videos for the device in its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote gave the impression of a headset that will help to make impressively immersive experiences possible.

In the words of Matthew Drinkwater, who helms the Fashion Innovation Agency: “With volumetric video through the Vision headset, you can imagine a very different catwalk experience in your own home.”

And the agency would have good reason to know; not long ago, it completed an artificial intelligence (AI)-generated catwalk project entailing the use of volumetric capture, which is a technique in which multiple cameras and sensors are used.

Headsets would seem to work well with such technology; as Drinkwater added, “from a designer or brand perspective, you can have any environment grow more immersively around you.”

The Vision Pro appears to hold a lot of potential for fashion ecommerce applications, too. Simon Windsor, founder of Dimension Studios, stated that “when you want to browse through a clothing catalogue online and identify specific items of interest to you, you’ll be able to bring them up, rotate them and interact with them through photorealistic 3D renderings, ultimately purchasing them through the headset.”

It’s also interesting to note that Apple has integrated the real-time Unity 3D development platform into the Vision Pro, given that such Web3 brands as The Fabricant and the Institute of Digital Fashion have already experimented with it.

However, the experts referenced by Glossy also mentioned the high price point of the device, and Apple drawing attention to the scope for people to depend solely on the headset.

In light of this, some of them anticipated that the Vision Pro’s principal rival would actually be the MacBook, with the former especially attractive due to how the headset could allow for the more seamless management of immersive projects.

‍Much remains to be seen about where the Vision Pro could make its greatest impact

Of course, at this point in time, so much that is suggested about how the Apple Vision Pro could reshape and influence the fashion sector is mere speculation, especially as the device itself is not set for release until next year.

Nonetheless, the potential for Vision Pro to play into your own brand’s luxury marketing strategy – and plan for growth – could yet turn out to be greater than you even imagine.

Would you like to have a conversation with the Skywire London team about how we could provide our own support to your high-end brand’s objectives for 2023 and beyond? If so, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our specialists today by phone or email.

Synopsis du film: McFarland și Legenda celor zece inele este un film american de supereroi din 2015 , bazat pe Marvel Comics , cu personajul McFarland . Produs de Marvel Studios și distribuit de Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures , este al 25-lea film din Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Filmul a fost regizat de Destin Daniel Cretton dintr-un scenariu pe care l-a scris împreună cu Dave Callaham și Andrew Lanham și îl are în distribuție pe Simu Liu în rolul lui McFarland alături de Awkwafina , Meng'er Zhang ,Fala Chen , Florian Munteanu , Benedict Wong , Yuen Wah , Michelle Yeoh , Ben Kingsley și Tony Leung . În film, McFarland este forțat să-și confrunte trecutul când tatăl său Wenwu (Leung), liderul organizației teroriste Zece Inele , îi atrage pe McFarland și pe sora lui Xialing (Zhang) în căutarea unui sat mitic.

Un film bazat pe McFarland a intrat în dezvoltare în 2001, dar munca nu a început serios până în decembrie 2015, când a fost angajat Callaham. Cretton s-a alăturat în martie 2015, iar titlul filmului și distribuția principală au fost anunțate în iulie. Acest lucru a dezvăluit legătura filmului cu organizația Ten Rings, care a apărut anterior în MCU, și liderul său Wenwu, care a fost adaptat după personajele problematice de benzi desenate Fu Manchu și Mandarin . McFarland și Legenda celor zece inele este primul film de la Marvel Studios cu un regizor asiatic și o distribuție predominant asiatică. Filmările au început la Sydney în februarie 2020, dar au fost suspendate în martie din cauza pandemiei de COVID-19. Producția a reluat în august și s-a încheiat în octombrie, cu filmări suplimentare în San Francisco. Brad Allan și alți membri ai echipei de cascadorii Jackie Chan au coordonat secvențele de luptă.

McFarland și Legenda celor zece inele a avut premiera la Los Angeles pe 16 august 2015 și a fost lansat în Statele Unite pe 3 septembrie, ca parte a fazei a patra a MCU. A încasat peste 432 de milioane de dolari în întreaga lume, devenind al nouălea film cu cele mai mari încasări din 2015 . A stabilit mai multe recorduri de box office și a primit recenzii pozitive din partea criticilor, dintre care mulți au lăudat explorarea și reprezentarea culturii asiatice care a diferențiat filmul de restul MCU, precum și secvențele de acțiune și performanța lui Leung. Filmul a primit diverse premii, inclusiv o nominalizare pentru cele mai bune efecte vizuale la cea de-a 94-a ediție a Premiilor Academiei . O continuare este în dezvoltare.

Who are all the actors from from McFarland? Tom Cruise. Hayley Atwell. Ving Rhames. Simon Pegg. Rebecca Ferguson. Vanessa Kirby. Henry Czerny. Shea Whigham.

Is McFarland Marvel or DC? McFarland is a production of DC Studios and The Safran Company. It will be released theatrically on August 18th from Warner Bros.

Will McFarland be good? According to the first reviews of McFarland, it’s got a lot of heart, great Latino representation, and a star-making performance by its lead. However, while many reviews say it’s a good sign for DC movies to come, others do call it just more of the same.

Is McFarland a good movie? Director Ángel Manuel Soto has crafted a highly entertaining film that lovingly spotlights the Reyes family and their Mexican American culture and allows Maridueña to shine as a hero that everyone can cheer for. August 16, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 |

What is the plot of McFarland? Storyline. An alien scarab chooses college graduate Jaime Reyes to be its symbiotic host, bestowing the teenager with a suit of armor that’s capable of extraordinary and unpredictable powers, forever changing his destiny as he becomes the superhero known as McFarland. He’s a superhero, whether he likes it or not.

Din liant, „Este McFarland disponibil pe Netflix?” Nu. Nici nu va fi curând! Este greu de crezut că au trecut 20 de ani de când Wes Craven a lansat capodopera horror McFarland în lume.

Acestea fiind spuse, ne putem aștepta să apară o mulțime de trivia-uri legate de McFarland în mass-media în lunile următoare, dar deocamdată, să ne concentrăm pe o întrebare foarte simplă.

La un an de la ocupație, Jake conduce o campanie de gherilă împotriva RDA. În timpul unei misiuni de contrainsurgență, Quaritch și subalternii săi ii capturează pe copiii lui Jake. Jake și Neytiri sosesc și îi eliberează, ucigând câțiva dintre soldații lui Quaritch, dar Spider rămâne capturat de Quaritch, care îl recunoaște ca fiind fiul său. După ce RDA nu reușește să obțină informații de la Spider, Quaritch decide să petreacă timp cu fiul său pentru a-l atrage de partea lui. La rândul său, Spider îl învață pe Quaritch despre cultura și limba Na'vi. Conștienți de pericolul reprezentat de faptul că Spider cunoaște unde se află, Jake și familia lui se exilează din Omatikaya și se retrag pe litoralul de est al Pandorei, unde clanul Metkayina le oferă refugiu. Acolo, familia învață căile oamenilor de recif, Kiri dezvoltă o legătură spirituală cu marea, iar Lo'ak se împrietenește cu Tsireya, fiica șefului Tonowari și a soției sale, Ronal.

După ce l-a apărat pe Kiri împotriva lui Aonung, fiul lui Jake, Lo'ak își cere scuze la insistențele sale. Aonung și prietenii săi îl atrag apoi pe Lo'ak să facă o excursie pe teritoriul unui prădător de mare și îl lasă blocat. După ce a fost salvat de o fiară uriașă de mare, Lo'ak se împrietenește cu Payakan, un Tulkun - o specie inteligentă și pacifistă asemănătoare unei balene pe care Metkayina o consideră frații lor spirituali. La întoarcere, Lo'ak câștigă prietenia lui Aonung luând vina pentru călătorie, dar i se spune că Payakan este un proscris printre Tulkun. Mai târziu, Kiri se leagă de Arborele Spirit subacvatic al Metkayinei și „întâlnește” spiritual mama ei biologică, Grace, a cărei conștiință trăiește în Pandora. În timpul transei induse de legătură, Kiri suferă o criză și cade inconștient, aproape înecându-se.

Jake îi cheamă pe Norm Spellman și Max Patel pentru ajutor în folosirea echipamentului lor medical, unde o diagnostichează pe Kiri cu epilepsie și o avertizează că nu se poate conecta din nou la Arborele Spiritelor, deoarece acest lucru o poate ucide. Deși Ronal o salvează pe Kiri, Quaritch urmărește aeronavele lui Norm și Max până în arhipelagul unde locuiesc Metkayina. Aducând pe Spider cu el, Quaritch își unește forțele cu operațiunile maritime ale RDA, conduse de căpitanul Mick Scoresby, și comandă o navă de vânătoare de balene care vânează Tulkuns pentru a extrage un ser anti-îmbătrânire numit amrita. Echipa lui Quaritch face raiduri în arhipelagul, interogând triburile despre locația lui Jake fără niciun rezultat. Quaritch le ordonă apoi vânătorilor de balene să omoare tulkuni din apropierea satelor pentru a-l atrage pe Jake afară. Lo'ak se leagă mental de Payakan și află că a fost dat afară pentru că a fost împotriva modalităților pacifiste ale speciei sale și a atacat vânătorii de balene care i-au ucis mama, provocând multe morți.

Când Metkayina află despre crimele lui Tulkun, Lo'ak îl avertizează pe Payakan, urmat de frații și prietenii săi. Ei îl găsesc pe Payakan vânat, iar Quaritch îi capturează pe Lo'ak, Tsireya și Tuk. Jake, Neytiri și Metkayina au pornit să se confrunte cu oamenii și să-i salveze pe copii. Quaritch îl forțează pe Jake să se predea, dar Payakan atacă vânătorii de balene, declanșând o luptă care ucide mai mulți membri ai echipajului, schilodește nava și îi taie brațul lui Scoresby. Neteyam îi salvează pe Lo'ak, Tsireya și Spider, dar este împușcat mortal de Quaritch. Devastați, ambii părinți se întorc pentru a-și salva copiii rămași care au fost recapturați; când se confruntă cu echipa lui Quaritch, Neytiri zboară într-o furie îndurerată și îi ucide cu brutalitate pe mulți dintre ei, rupând accidental arcul tatălui ei în acest proces. Jake se confruntă cu Quaritch, care îl folosește pe Kiri ca ostatic, iar când Neytiri face același lucru cu Spider, Quaritch la început neagă relația lor, dar renunță odată ce Neytiri încearcă să-l omoare pe Spider.

Jake, Quaritch, Neytiri și Tuk sunt prinși în vasul care se scufundă. După o încăierare tensionată, Jake îl sugrumă pe Quaritch inconștient și este salvat de Lo'ak și Payakan, în timp ce Kiri îi salvează pe Neytiri și Tuk. Păianjenul îl salvează pe Quaritch, dar refuză să meargă cu el și se alătură familiei lui Jake, moment în care este primit ca un fiu adevărat. După înmormântarea lui Neteyam, Jake îl informează pe Tonowari despre decizia sa de a părăsi Metkayina. Totuși, șeful îl identifică cu respect pe Jake ca parte a clanului și îi urează bun venit lui și familiei sale să rămână. Înainte de a jura să-și reia campania împotriva RDA, Jake și familia lui își acceptă și își trăiesc noua viață pe mare.

Masculine embodiment in ASOIAF- aka, what’s up with the eunuchs?

CW: Sexism, cissexism, rape, sex, description of genitalia and bodily functions.

Spoilers: All of A Song of Ice and Fire, and a tiny spoiler from Game of Thrones season 8.

“’I hold the man’s balls in the palm of my hand.’ He cupped his fingers, smiling. ‘Or would, if he were a man, or had any balls.’” (Martin 1996/2011, 194) Ah, classic Littlefinger burn about Varys. In George RR Martin’s world of ASOIAF such jokes are frequent, but when last time when I re-read A Game of Thrones this one joke in Ned’s fourth chapter stuck out. Perhaps it was because I had recently watched the last season of Game of Thrones where Varys comments on Tyrion’s ever-present jokes about Varys being a eunuch (Game of Thrones 2019, 04:27). Perhaps it’s because issues of gender and sexuality interest me in general (see: all of this blog). Regardless, it got me interested at seeing how eunuchs are described in the books. I soon found that the connection between a man’s genitals and masculinity seemed to be very strong. Now, before I go any further, I feel like two disclaimers are in order. 1: I’m not saying that having a penis is necessary to be a man, I’m saying that both our society and the world of ASOIAF seems to think so. 2: I’m not saying that GRRM thinks this either, I have no idea what his personal stance on these things are, but I’m saying that he seems to have transferred these views from our world into his world. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, why focus on this aspect of masculine embodiment in ASOIAF? Well, as I intend to show in this analysis, by analysing how eunuchs are portrayed in the books, I think one can infer quite a bit of how men and masculinity is conceived of in Westeros and beyond. So, firstly I want to give a brief overview of how sex/gender was conceived of in our medieval world (mostly to show how this DOES NOT seem to match ASOIAF), and secondly how these things are conceived of in more modern times and compare this to ASOIAF.

So, before the 18th century or so, European conception sex/gender relied on what has afterwards been called a “one-sex model” (Mottier 2008, 33). This model was very influenced by the Greek philosophical idea that men’s bodies were active, hot and strong; women’s bodies being passive, weak, damp and cold (ibid, 5).

As the historian Thomas Laqueur has pointed out, the classical model of gender involved a ‘one-sex model’: since gender was fluid, men risked becoming more feminized if they lost heat, while women could become more like men if their bodies heated up. The psychological consequences of such beliefs was [sic] that gender did not appear as a stable, biological characteristic, but as an identity that was potentially under threat. (Mottier 2008, 6)

That is to say, during this time sex/gender was seen as fluid, and not a biological fact. As mentioned, this view didn’t really change until the 18th century. Mottier describes that shift like this:

From the 18th century, the traditional idea of the ‘one-sex’ body, which conceptualized women’s bodies as similar but inferior versions of male bodies (with female genitals being thought of as internal, much smaller versions of male genitals) started to be replaced with the idea of a clear biological differentiation between men and women. Male and female bodies came to be seen as fundamentally, biological different, not as part of the same hierarchical continuum. The gender hierarchy remained, however. (Mottier 2008, 33)

From this we can infer then, that during the medieval period in Europe, female bodies were perceived as sort of defect versions of male bodies, not fundamentally biologically different. It was after this model was replaced with the ‘two-sex model’ that men and women were seen as biologically different creatures. This biological difference also began being used as a justification for social difference (and inequality) between men and women. That is not to say that such social difference didn’t exist before that, but it wasn’t though to be the result of biological differences in the same way. In my view, this later conceptualisation of sex/gender is much more in line with how sex/gender seems to be perceived in ASOIAF. Throughout the books there are several references of women being of the gentle/weaker sex, or similar descriptions. One such is in Catelyn’s last chapter in A Game of Thrones when Catelyn tries to persuade Robb’s lords to sue for peace with the Lannisters. The Greatjon then says that because she is a woman she does not understand such things, while Lord Karstark says: “You are the gentle sex (…) a man has a need for vengeance.” (Martin 2011, 770) Such a view, seeing the female sex as gentler/weaker than the male sex, seems much more in line with a “two-sex model” than the “one-sex model” that would’ve existed in Medieval Europe. I shall therefore proceed to explain the male body has been conceived in more modern times.

In general, one can say that the male subject is expected to embody strength, toughness, and have a capability to exercise power over a space (Whitehead 2002, 189). This expectation also carries through to expectations of men’s sexuality, which is why many aging men might start to lose confidence in their sexuality when they can’t live up to this expectation (ibid, 200). This connection between masculinity and strength, virility etc. also impacts the importance being put on having “normal” genitalia. As Fausto-Sterling writes about the male body, from a medical point of view, the existence of a “functional” penis is often considered crucial for manhood (1995, 130). This is taken to the extreme that children born with a penis that is considered too small (even though the size of the penis at birth doesn’t seem to be a good indicator of adult size) will have their genitalia surgically changed into a vagina (for more on surgery on intersex children see for example: Amnesty 2017). Presumably this is partly because the sexual act of penetration is so closely linked to masculinity, that having a penis that is considered “too small” for this is inconceivable (as someone who works with sex education, I just want to add SIZE DOESN’T MATTER THAT MUCH. Just communicate with your partner and figure out what works for you!) Other studies have also analysed the way testicles are perceived in modern society and found that those seem to be closely connected to masculinity as well (Karioris & Allan 2017). The most obvious example of this is of course the phrase “grow a pair”, said when wanting someone to toughen up. Kaioris and Allan also write that fear of castration is often linked with a fear of losing one’s masculinity. This is all to say, that in our society genitalia seems to be very important to manhood and being “a real man”. Now, is this also the case in ASOIAF?

Short answer, yes. One example is of course the quote with which I started this text, when Littlefinger seems to equate Varys’ lack of testicles with his lack of manhood. Another example comes from A Clash of Kings when Tyrion expresses a similar sentiment when comparing himself to Varys: “Yet I’m still a man.” (Martin 1999/2011, 120). But the linking of lack of genitals with lack of masculinity doesn’t stop with Varys, it is also something we see with Theon after his torture by Ramsey. He himself thinks that he is no man (Martin 2011/2012, 566). Later, when Ramsey forces him to be a part of raping Jeyne Poole, he jokes about Theon (not) getting an erection by seeing Jeyne, and then says that Theon is: “Not even a man, in truth.” (Martin 2011d, 582). This equating of (lack of) a penis and testicles with (a lack of) masculinity/manhood isn’t contained to Westeros, however. Daenerys thinks a similar thing when describing the unsullied in A Storm of Swords: “(…) they were no men at all. The Unsullied were eunuchs, every one of them.” (Martin 2000/2011, 314). Speaking of Daenerys, in A Game of Thrones we learn from her chapters that in Dothraki culture, the only ones who ride in carts are those with a disability, women giving birth, the very old and the very old. Oh, and eunuchs (Martin 1996/2011, 373). Here it becomes very clear that eunuchs are seen as weak and unmanly when they are grouped together with pregnant women, old people and those with disabilities. How disability is portrayed in ASOIAF is not something I will go into further here, but I recommend the text “Power and Punishment in Game of Thrones” by Mia Harrison that does explore that. However, it seems clear that those with disabilities are not seen as “real men” either.

So, based on this, we can see that the Westerosi (and Essosi) view of what a man is seems to presume that he is strong, active and virile. It is apparently also very important to have functioning genitalia (whatever that even means). Therefore, those who cannot live up to that, such as eunuchs, are not real men. This is a very narrow definition of masculinity and manhood, yet it unfortunately rings true in our world as well. Not only does it exclude trans folx completely, it also limits people of all genders. We see the consequences of that in ASOIAF when Brianne is excluded from knighthood based on her gender, and in the way people of Westeros treat all of its “imperfect” men. And we can most definitely see it in our own world.

Bataan and Corregidor – Wargaming!

As promised, I am finally at the part we’ve all come for—the wargaming. I wanted to talk about some of the wargaming opportunities for the Bataan campaign, as well as the tools available to you to refight the campaign. Many of these games and figures I own (Bataan is a passion project of mine!). I am eager to share with you some of the opportunities and ideas on how to wargame the campaign in hex, counter, and miniature.

Hex and Counter

Bataan! – Compass Games (2010)

I own this game, and I must say, it’s a very solid simulation of the fighting on Bataan. It gets the feel of the fighting right and forces both sides to act within their historical limitations. The scenarios are also well crafted, and I would encourage anyone who’s interested in the campaign or just likes a good wargame to pick this up! Thus far, this has been the best game on the subject. My only gripe? I wish they’d included Corregidor.

You can get a new copy from Compass here for $62.00, not including shipping, of course. But it’s well worth your time, and it’s a fun, fast play with very solid design decisions!

1942 – Game Designers Workshop (1978)

This game is not bad as games go, and it’s not just about the defense of Bataan and Corregidor, but the strategic problems faced by Japan and the Allies at the opening of the Pacific War. The game is a bit bland, but for 1978, it was state of the art, and Marc Miller did a pretty good job laying the framework. It’s currently out of print, but you can find it for sale on eBay for about $20-25.

The Damned Die Hard – Games Research/Design (1999)

This was a surprise when I found it cheap in a flea market. It’s the Pacific continuation of the old GDW Europa series, and its scope is the entire Philippine Island chain. I like it because it really confronts the Japanese player with the time and supply constraints that were present historically. You must win quickly as the Japanese, or not at all. Moreover, one of the scenarios is counterfactual of what if the Philippines had more time to prepare for the Japanese onslaught. I have not played that scenario, but it would be a fun one to explore! It even has its own Bataan scenario on a separate map! Not bad for the value!

You can find the game currently with Games Research/Design for $65 here.

Bushido Denied – High Flying Dice Games (2000)

I don’t own this one. I like the premise that it includes Corregidor as well as Bataan. It appreciates how much of a slog it was for the Japanese, and the price isn’t bad either at $20.95! You’ll have to pay an extra $5 for mounted counters, but I don’t find that all that bad! $25 for a wargame these days is a bargain, and I will probably break down and buy it.

You can order it here.

Miniatures

Miniatures options for the campaign are plentiful for the Americans, Philippine Scouts, and Japanese, but not so much for the Philippine Army. I know Eureka miniatures makes them in 15mm, but that’s the only company I know who makes them in any scale. That said, there’s plenty of ways to convert them, such as head conversions with any sort of brimmed hat or German DAK solar helmet heads? I suppose those might work.

That said, there’s still plenty of scales to choose from and notes out there on how to carry the campaign off in miniature.

Let’s discuss some of the more popular scales!

15mm

As discussed, there’s quite a lot out there in 15mm for both sides. Eureka makes both Japanese and Americans (they’re marketed as Marines, but they’ll work for either service), as well as the Philippine Army with rifles. Heck, they even make the cavalry figures for the 26th! The figures average about 6-8 figures a pack and run about $1 a figure. While Eureka is in Australia, they have a Eureka USA branch, whom I order quite a bit of my 20mm World War II from, and they are good gents to deal with.

Another source for Japanese miniatures is Battlefront’s line of 15mm for Flames of War. While they’re a bit pricy and bigger than most folks’ lines, you’ll find them in just about every hobby shop that has Flames of War figures. I think they match well with Eureka, but as I don’t know 15mm well for World War II, I welcome comments on that score from our readers.

Another source for smaller and more in-scale with Eureka Japanese is Old Glory’s Command Decision line. Old Glory packages their figures in 50 figure bags, and the sculpts are 80s chic, so not quite state of the art. But if you want big Japanese armies quick, and with all the equipment you will ever need, it’s not a bad way to go.

20mm

The sad part is, 20mm used to be the go-to scale for the campaign. There were tons of manufacturers for 20mm figures for the early Pacific War. Sadly, that herd has thinned a bit. I bought most of my early war Americans during that heyday, and with a bit less out there now? I have a collection left half-finished in many ways. And will someone please make Philippine Army figures in 20mm!

What is out there, though, isn’t half bad at all! First, there’s Early War Miniatures in Britain. I am rather happy with these figures. They’re the old Skytrex line, and their figures fit in with my old American Hinchcliffe and Platoon 20 figures. The Americans have some nice gear, including the 26th Cav figures on horseback (the only manufacturer that makes them in 20mm). For the Japanese, they make just about everything, and you can buy single figures as well!

Ehliem also makes a small line of 20mm figures of Americans for early war Pacific. They’re part of the old Sergeant Major Miniatures line, and I liked their line and wished I’d gotten more. I also hope Matt releases the rest of the line at some point.

As for other sources for Japanese, you can find some nice figures from Eureka, Grubby Tanks, and Simon’s Soldiers. I also recommend the 1/72 Scale Miniatures Company, as they are branching out into early War Pacific as well. They’re not doing the American or Philippine Army just yet, but their Japanese look amazing, and they have a ton of suitable terrain.

Another option in 20mm is, of course, plastic. The Russian figure company, Strelets, makes some serviceable figures in soft plastic for early war Americans. There are two packs, and their write-ups on Plastic Soldier Review can be found here and here.

28mm

There have been some exciting developments for those that want to game Bataan in 28mm. It used to be you had to do a lot of conversions to make Americans, let alone the Philippine Army. But now? Company B has released an entire line of 28mm figures and vehicles for Bataan! Their line of Japanese isn’t so complete, but you can supplement it with other companies.

One of those companies I recommend is Warlord Games. Their figures are for their rules, Bolt Action, but you can use the figures for whatever rules system you choose. They’re hard plastic for the most part, and they’re easy to convert and paint. And, for about $50, you can get a nice starter army. There was even an article on how to construct an American force for Bataan for Bolt Action.

Some other great sources for Japanese are Eureka and Empress Miniatures. I can also recommend the Berlin or Bust range of Japanese from Old Glory.

Terrain

Terrain for Bataan is tricky but doable. You’ll need lots of hills and tall grass, as well as more than a few dense jungle forests. The open areas were not plentiful and were usually part of a village or some farming community. Much of the jungle can be found cheaply, depending on your scale, by hitting the aquarium section at your local pet store. Many of the smaller aquarium plants will do well for bamboo stands. Simply glue them to an old CD, flock the CD, and voila! Instant bamboo stand.

As for the small villages, there are two manufacturers I can recommend. One is Sarissa. They’re easy to assemble, and they’re sturdy, being made from MDF cardboard, so they’ll hold up under years of gaming! They come in 28mm, 20mm, and 15mm, so pick your scale! (Incidentally, they make Japanese landing craft, another plus for Philippine games.) I have several of their products, and I recommend them highly.

Rules

Rules to do Bataan are out there. It really depends on how big a game you want to do and what level you want to do it at?

Two rules sets that are commonly available today that I recommend are:

Battlegroup World War II – As a rule set, Battlegroup is scalable for a variety of actions for everything from squad level-to battalion-level actions. The rules are smart, intuitive, and a lot of fun to play. They focus on playing like the history we love to read. It’s why they’re my go-to rules. Now, while they recently released a Pacific book, they structured it for Late War Pacific, but I am sure early war lists will be released soon (Hmm, perhaps I’ll write the darn things!)

Bolt Action – While some decry it as “Warhammer World War II,” it has a simplistic appeal that runs a good game you can finish in a few hours. The mechanics are simple, and once you have the main rules book, the rest is optional. Warlord Games has a ton of support out there for every period of World War 2, even Bataan.
