James and I owe Thomas Mischak so much for his contributions to the Waterloo in 20mm project. He has asked if we can identify the maker of these Brunswick Uhlans in 15mm, way out of our comfort zone. Personally I find the yellow czapka top odd for all but officers and trumpeters. Small thumbnail images only alas;

They look like 1980's Minifigs. i still have lots of them. Nice figures.

Minifig riders are separate from horses, can't quite tell on my phone if these are

First guess Minifigs. Horses have the fatter butts.

The look like Minifigs to me too.

There is a 1985 catalogue available online with photos on page 78 (pack 2BRC, the command pack is 4BRC).

My thoughts too.

There was a large range that became popular when I first joined Nottingham war games club.

I'd agree with Minifigs, but couldn't swear to it.

Thanks folks. James suggested Minifigs too, but I will admit I did not even know they went beyond 25mm in the early 80s

In the mid 1970s they did a very nice range of 15mm figures sold in strips of 5 infantry and 3 cavalry TMP link They also had a range of 5mm of Napoleonics in blocks TMP link and before then a few 5mm WW2 (I still have some of the 25-prs with integral limbers somewhere).

They are 15mm Minifigs- 3rd generation. You can tell by the shadow bases. I casted up a bazillion of those! We (GFI) packaged them 8 in a pack- 4 feet together and 4 feet apart along with separate valises, 3 command figure and 5 troopers.

Well I will just say thanks again. I am indebted to Thomas, so it is great to be able to do something in return
