Having searched the archives and found nothing related, I ask this question: Currently in production, who makes the best dismounted 1812-1815 figure of Napoleon Bonaparte in 25mm or 28mm? |

That Front Rank figure is nice, but the OP specified "dismounted." I'm fond of the Foundry "Napoleon at Borodino" figure/ensemble, with his foot up on the drum. Foundry figures are a bit small and dumpy… which is perfect for the middle-aged Napoleon. link |

Having just painted the Foundry set, I would say it is superb, bottom of page: link Tally Ho! |

No photo, but painted the Elite Miniatures dismounted Napoleon and he looked the part. The Napoleon that comes with Warlord's Napoleon's Berlin Coach is very nice, too.

I would second the one with the Warlord coach. I have recently received it as a birthday present and it is a great miniatures. |

Eureka has a beautiful Napoleon in 28mm |

I wish the Foundry Napoleon was sold separately. I'd love to do that figure, sitting alone, with just four dismounted Chasseurs (the Perry ones) marking out his personal space. |

The guy with his foot on the drum? One of the first minis I painted and was happy with. |

Jesus, I haven't looked at Foundry for ages since their prices started getting silly, but I hadn't realised HOW silly! £16.00 GBP for four 28mm cavalry figures? |
| Pyrate Captain | 26 Nov 2013 2:53 p.m. PST |
Price is always a consideration. Warlord Boney is great, but my budget is screaming Perry. |

As I game Borodino first and foremost, then the Wargames Foundry figure mentioned above. Here's my own with some additional figures.

Brings back the memories. I loved painting the adc in the hussar dress pointing aswell. Who was that chap one the far left? I could never remember who he was. |
| Lord Hill | 27 Nov 2013 9:26 a.m. PST |
ColonelToffeApple that is a wonderful command piece! |

Lord Hill, thank you, sits opposite this one:
I then have prints of the two paintings they are taken from on either side of the table. |
