Brian, I have just seen the full page ad in the latest issue of TS&MF. When will these be available?

Our first quarter releases include our latest Napoleonic addition: the 95th rifles. Armed with the Baker rifle these lads ensured old Boney’s cavalry charges where met with the best and highest velocity greeting available. Tested time and again at first Quatre Bras and then Waterloo the 95th more than lived up to their reputation.

This is a ten figure set and has all the poses to aid any allied aficionado in a quick defeat of the Empirical tyrant. And will be available for purchase in March. They are limited edition sets at just 350 each. All will be relieved that pricing hasn’t changed a bit , they are around $27.00 per figure ( they are sold in two and three packs ).

Pre-order through our dealer network or through us. Images and pre-order capability on our site and others available in 2-3 weeks.

Happy Collecting!

It is nice to have the Rifles represented in this scale and the poses are very nice looking. On a purely constructive note, I must say the faces on these Napoleonic figures appear a bit trollish to me and not up to the standards of the figures for some of your other lines. I know sculptors vary but consider how nice looking these Bredan faces are by comparison.

Is there any chance the final version of these may have slightly more appealing faces? Again, I only ask this because I like everything about these other than the faces and it seems they just don't measure up to the rest of these fine figures.
 
I do not collect Naps and therefore I can only appreciate these fine figures, but, I thought that the 95th Rifles were famous for their BLACK buttons or was this a later development? -- lancer

It must have been later. I don't know much about them beyond 1815 but all the uniform pictures and re-inactor uniforms I have seen (as well as the Sharpe series) show the shiny buttons. Here is a reproduction used for the Frasiers Museum

Good enough for me. I am no uniform expert. CS figures sure look good. -- lancer

Isn't the correct word Imperial tyrant?

Empirical tyrant would mean a tyrant of numbers, like my high school math teacher for example.

Nice choice of subject for figures anyway. Poses could be a little more imaginative, but then one could say that concerning all the major matte manufacturers lately. A guy lying on his back sniping would have been most welcome however.

Well, empirical more typically refers to a conclusion or information derived from an experiment, as opposed to a theory. As an adjective it means data or statements derived from observation or experiment as by the testing of a working hypothesis. It also refers to a philosophical school of empiricism which emphasizes the role of experience, especially sensory perception, in the development of ideas. It comes from the Greek word experientia, from which we derive the word experience. It also derives from a more specific classical Greek and Roman usage of empiric, referring to a physician whose skill derives from practical experience as opposed to instruction in theory.

It's references to numbers is more a special variation meaning in economics, a statistical or econometric analysis of numeric data.

While certainly Napoleon was imperial, I think it is safe to say that his reign as emperor was also empirical, since it certainly was established by actual experience and was in no means theoretical.;):D

Spelling never was my long suite :)

So poses eh: fine I challenge you to suggest six poses or pose sets in one posting. A guy lying on his back shooting, thats one. Please just five more...remember they can't be drinking tea this is the heat of battle. Im all ears:)

regards,

Brian
 
#2 - a guy lying on his stomach shooting, his rifle balanced across his shako hat.

Why two figures lying down? Well for the 95th these were common poses when they were trying to shoot with high accuracy, and these poses would provide a nice variation from all the other Napoleonic figs out there who only tend to stand or kneel.

I'll think of some more later. You guys have months to dream up these figs - not sure why I have to do it all in one posting.
