I look forward to seeing the others. I have been thinking about getting the 2 boxes of Kings and Richelieu's Musketeers. Thanks for posting. |

Plastic 1/72nd figures have really come a long way since 1st edition Airfix, haven't they? |

Thank you for your comments. Rustymusket: these two sets are worth buying, even if you get 4 armored Cardinaux de Richelieu :) Nnascati: you're absolutely right. I started collecting Atlantic and Airfix minis as a child during the 70s, I still have them and still love them (you can see some of them displayed in this post if you're interested: philotepsfigures.blogspot.fr/2017/02/playmobil-color-enamel-does-it-remind.html). Then in the 80s/90s ESCI, Revell and Italeri added several wonderful sets, and also some highly unexpected (The Revell Aztecs are among my favorites). And one day, Hät began to cast incredible references: Mamelukes, Grenadiers ā cheval, and many more… Nowadays, several manufacturers keep on adding unbelievable minis to their ranges, here are some of those I wouldn't even have thought of in the 70s: Caesar Mayas and Sea People, Zvezda winged hussars, Redbox Burgundians and Ming Chinese to come, Ultima Ratio Musketeers… I forget so many. We're in the Golden Age, IMO. |
