Not convinced by 24 figures to a box, but price will be the key. Somehow I fear these will price themselves out of the market.

But nice figures

Oh dear.

Forgive me but, even you, as a plastics fan, must concede…….

How many poses do you get (four repeated over and over)?

and then how different are they from each other?

and how imaginative?

and where are the flank companies?

These are back to Airfix early days….OK I'll admit, not quite that bad, but really careless stuff. They're 'aving a larf mate.

The link was worth following, if only for the "Pirate's Mistress" a few rows lower down. Spelling is awful but the figure has her……… charms?

Personally less poses and variety is exactly what I am looking for…

I do take your point! Recalling the Airfix French Infantry, at least half the poses were simply unusable in any formation one could imagine.

Yes, you are right…..seems counterintuitive at first but……..

And the grenadiers, voltigeurs and officers are coming in separate boxes.

But i did find just the four poses a bit limited.

But price will be key

I like them, apart from the fact that the knapsacks and pouches are too small. Will replace them. But they are very useful. I'm not a wargamer, but a diorama builder. These figures are badly needed to represent units in formation. Don't like jumping jacks skipping about.

I take it all back. I can see the point indeed.

I would want some with overalls not gaiters, but I do tend to……… indeed always……….. forget that a few dozen figures are meant to represent many hundreds. So a "uniform" appearance does help preserve that illusion.

The chaos in all my units does look like several individuals, not a regiment.

The new HaT versions come with six poses and the majority are in overalls. Problem solved 😀
