Has anyone got pictures of minifigs 15mm Agincourt personalities pack – zc639 or either of their two WOTR personality packs – z718, zv710 they can share with me please?

Very appreciative of any assistance. Couldn't find anything online myself

Cheers

Sorry – I tried doing a photo of z718 but I seem to have lost it.
Z_C_710 is on the Minifigs website

Z718 is definitely supposed to be the same people – the unhelmeted one stands with right foot forward and his hands resting on his sword which he holds so that it is touching the ground.
The centre figure is instead holding a poleaxe in a casual pose, poleaxe vertical and resting with the butt on the floor.
The crowned figures has both hands up in what looks like a 'I surrender' pose but with sword in right hand pointing skyward.

The first figure is my favourite of the three.

Awesome. Thanks. Ever seen the Agincourt pack?

I hate to throw shade at any manufacturer but of all the 15mm HYW/WOTR figures available I like Minifigs the least. In my view 'awful' would be a good description of them. They are old fashioned and poorly modelled.

I rate 15 mm figures for this period as follows:
1 Peter Pig
2 Roundway
3 Donnington New Era
4 Essex

Peter Pig has released new command figures in packs:

(scroll to the bottom)
while Donnington New Era sell character figures as individuals.

I wouldn't be using those Peter Pig figures for Agincourt – wrong period.

Minifigs do look old fashioned compared to many more recent ranges. The poses can be a bit wooden, especially compared with PP – Minifigs infantry are almost all left foot forward, for example.
There are, however, advantages. For late 14th century to mid-15th century, the number of ranges is limited and some of those ranges will throw in anything from Crecy to Verneuil in the same pack. The Minifigs knights have been sculpted with a lot of attention to period details. The single sculpt in each pack of 4 is a disadvantage if you only want a few, but there are enough different packs that you can represent the various decades of the 15th century well, choosing whether to include any with armour from a decade or so earlier if you wish.

I have been picky with which Minifigs I have bought, but I have been pleased with the results, even if I haven't reached the standard Midlander65 achieves with his Minifig Romans

Thanks for all the input. I'm actually after one or two more character figures specifically . I'm using a mix of Corvus Belli, khurasan, and Donnington for the English Archers, and men-at-arms, and have bought the Donnington King Henry V figure as well. I bought a pack of what I now know are Minifigs WOTR characters (z718) thanks swampster. That pack included the below sculpts. I wanted to see if any of their other packs contained a similarly attired figure to the one on the right in a different pose if anyone is aware? I want to use one for the Duke of York, and need Others for Gloucester and Camoys. I was debating filing the crown down slightly and using minifigs king as Gloucester (left), but wanted to see if I could find out what was in those other minifigs packs that could be useful first, or if there are other 15mm manufacturers that have figures in that sort of helmet? (Like the dismounted perry miniatures 28mm Agincourt characters pack).

The Donnington New Era range for the HYW is here:

I have used several of these as WOTR especially the longbow as 'Levy' longbowmen as they look poorer and less well armoured.

This master gunner:

paints up well as a foot commander and I am planning to use one for Martin Schwartz at Stoke Field 1487.
