"These are not the best sculpted figures on the market and indeed some of the poses are a little odd and their swords look like pieces of timber, but they are some of the only figures I know of that represent Japanese cavalry at the turn of the twentieth century suitable for the Boxer Rebellion. It is quite a colourful uniform. The same could be used for the early part of the Russo-Japanese War. Ordinarily I would not have painted up these figures (because I am a bit of a snob when it comes to figure quality) but they will form part of a tabletop force that I have painted up other units for so it was a matter of completing the job to help add to the collection…"
