If I could have one minor complaint it's that, from what I could see, no one seems to have a greatcoat, but maybe they will produce a greatcoat range...

AT LAST

Forgive the shouting but I am actually excited by this announcement. I know I could have just cut plumes off, but I wanted the little shake tufts. Finally

I’m very curious about what’s next. When Redbox steps into a period they do at least 6 sets, but more often they do more than that.
Will they do more Napoleonic Russians, but for 1812 and later? (imagine finally good Jägers, more Pavlov, or Opolchenie!). Or more French? A good bicorne advancing/firing line is welcome (including guard grenadiers firing).
We don’t no, but I like the fun speculating.

Click on the pic and they get bigger then use control plus scroll and you can see it. Fine Flash all along the mold lines and worse on thin parts like the bayonets. The Detail Looks ok but on this type of semi clear plastic the Flash is difficult to remove, especiall if it´s fine.

That location, for me, has been the toughest to remove without marring the figure to an unacceptable degree.

I have whole boxes of Pegasus figures that I left off the work table after seeing problem.

The mold line down th middle of the face...for me too it´s the worst place for a mold line. Removing it means toe Curling amounts of concentration and the result is not always satisfying

Here´s another pic. they seem well detailed even with the thin Flash lines

I suppose the only way to find out how "bad" the flash is, is to get hold of some and paint them. The priming will Show how much the thin Flash effects them.
