Same here, Mike! General Sam Elliott...I mean John Buford is on his way to my doorstep as we speak. I'm looking forward to receiving him in the next few days!
I agree, the Buford figure looks great! I also have the King & Country version and it's a nice figure as well. I just received some of the dismounted cavalry figures (the generic yellow trim ones) yesterday. I plan on using them and the other upcoming releases (including Buford) for a July 1 at...
That's what I originally thought as well, but the figure on the white horse looks to have a full beard. From what I've seen Buford only had a mustache. However, his uniform looks very similar to his monument on McPherson's Ridge in Gettysburg. So... :unsure:
Wow! I'm continuously blown away by John's releases with the ACW range! I was hoping for some very cool personalities, especially Buford and now we have it. I assume that's Pleasonton on the ground looking at the map and maybe that's Buford beside him with the binoculars? I wonder who the other...
I don't own any of the new WB Sherman tanks, but over the years of collecting WB off and own I will say their figures are very inconsistent when it comes to painting and whatnot. Sorry your tanks seem to have some issues.
Welcome back, Brad! I must say I have missed your posts over the years. I took have been away from the hobby some here and there, but JJD has renewed so much of my interest these days. He truly turns out some awesome products and covers areas that many other manufacturers don't by going so...
I think I'll wait a bit and see how the rest of the releases play out before I make a final decision on the colors and go through with purchasing any figures.

Still have no idea which color to go with...ugh! It might be safe to go with a mix seeing how some veterans still wore the orange and the newer soldiers in the ranks would have the standard...
Thank you, Travis! I did a little more searching and found this info from a reenactor site describing all of the 2nd U.S. equipment...
The 2nd Dragoons were re-designated the 2nd U.S. Cavalry in August 1861. At that time there were several
changes in the regulation uniforms and equipment...
I really like the look of the 1st Cherokee Mounted Rifles figure with what looks to be a double barrel shotgun. I only have the flag bearer so far, but I may have to just compete the entire unit with the rest of the releases.
Also it's nice to see the Union cavalry figures coming out! I have to...
Perhaps Andy or someone else might be able to answer this question. I know the previous winter Tiger was the new revolutionary all metal design with lots of working features and that the upcoming desert Tiger plans to be this same design concept. I definitely plan on picking up the desert Tiger...
I wish I would have taken advantage of FL's Big Sale a few years back. Several figures I would like to have now that are no longer available or are back to normal price. I believe it was around the time of the pandemic if my memory is correct. The one that Sammy started the thread with is one of...
