This line of figures has come in under the proverbial "radar screen." Anybody have any experience with them? It's certainly a very interesting selection of figures.

I like the look of the Civil War figure. Looks very Latorre imho. That sort of style at least.

I haven't had the chance to purchase any of their figures, but this company is fast becoming one of my favs!

Each new release from them looks better than the last. The only problem with the Civil War figures is accuracy. I'd be curious to know what references they're using. The lates figure's rifle does not have a ramrod, little things like that. I find details missing from the Latorre Civil War figures also. The back of coats and frocks are missing buttons, pleats etc. This is just an observation, they are things that can be corrected.~Gary

The ACW figure looks interesting. But what's up with the legs on the Billman?

Pete,
I noticed the same thing. The billman has some serious problems with the legs' especially from the knees to the ankles. No room for bones in there!

The ACW figure is an unusual subject, a Charleston, S.C. "zouave", that I don't think anyone else has done. The conversion potential is limitless though. As far a no rammer, easily fixed or add a bayonet.

If I said the Billman looks like Filch, how many of you would know who I am refering to?
