Are these still available? I painted some on commission about 2 decades ago for someone, and I loved the figures. I never got any for myself, but now I am thinking of starting a 15mm Franco Prussian project, and I'd like to track down a few of these guys. Chuck

I honestly think FalconUS is no longer in business, I know for years people were writing on TMP about issues with the owner and getting figs they ordered. Good luck though!

That sounds like Falcon UK (Quartermaster). Or is that also Falcon US?

(Although, I have, over the past few years, successfully gotten some very nice figures from Quartermaster – but it is a different line of figures)

Both Falcons are having their woes, or are doing disappearing acts. The FPW was from Falcon USA, who also made some nice 25mm German South West Africa figures (and a slew of other ranges, including Battle of Britain 1/285th scale aircraft), and have been MIA for a few years now. Falcon UK made a huge range of 15mm figures for a variety of periods. They have been MIA for the last year or two now.

FFUK (Falcon Figures UK) have been absent for a long time, mainly due to Kai's ongoing health issues. As soon as Kai's health issues get sorted out, he has promised to be back. Falcon USA – I can't speak to. From what I remember, they had posted a few years back that they were coming back but that has yet to happen.
