ACW070-ACW087 2nd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry "Iron Brigade" (2 Viewers)

[FirstLegion]

We are pleased to prsent the famous 2nd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry! The 2nd Wisconsin consists of sets ACW070-ACW087 and are a solid mix of advancing and firing depicting their counterattack at McPherson’s Ridge where they beat back Archer’s Brigade. After several hours of fierce fighting against an ever increasing number of Rebels, the 2nd Wisconsin took 77% casualties and retreated back to Culps Hill. Certainly one of the most iconic regiments of the Civil War, these figures are a must have for any serious Civil War Toy Soldier collection! We’ve also included with this release set ACW087 John Burns. Though Burns fought primarily with the 7th Wisconsin and 24th Michigan, we felt that any release covering the actions of the Iron Brigade during Day 1 of Gettysburg should include the heroic citizen turned soldier. Burns fought valiantly and was wounded several times and was eventually captured and treated by the Confederates, convincing them that he hadn’t taken part in the fighting, but merely been caught up in it. A close call indeed!

Awesome!

 

[Escipion]

Superb figures!!!!

 

[braddinpa]

One word! Superb!

 

[braddinpa]

And I saw the prices and they are actually good.

 

[mestell]

Well gentlemen you know what I certainly think . . . . Of course I'll be getting these. My favorite looking figure is ACW073 the NCO. I received a heads up from my supplier that these would be out by the end of the month so I was not surprised this morning to see this announcement.

I am sure the price listed for ACW086 Walking Wounded Vignette is incorrect . . . . Will probably be closer to twice the amount . . .
Mike

 

[jazzeum]

These do look fantastic!

 

[braddinpa]

But 59.95 is still pretty good. The prices are about the same as the Rebs released a year or so ago.

Mike I thought you were selling your FL ACW figures?

I have only sold a few Mark. I have 32 FL ACW figures in my collection at the moment that I really like and will certainly be keeping. The 2nd WI release is a must have for me for a number of reasons and will be a very welcomed addition to my collection. What I have been selling off is my AWI figures (lost interest) and my Roman/German Barbarians (just not that interested in that time period . . . was initially attracted to the colorfullness of the figures).

:smile2: Mike

 

[mestell]

I just placed my first order with my supplier for ACW071 "NCO Standard Bearer", ACW073 "NCO", and ACW081 "Charging #2" . . . . . now the wait for their arrival . . . .

Was just wondering Mike not trying to be nosy as I know how much you enjoy your ACW collection.And I know why the Wisconsin troops are special to you.

Since the Reb/Fence sets are limited editions of only 500 each, I would suggest getting them now if you think you want them. This 2nd Wi release will be available for some time and since they are not limited editions you should have plenty of time to acquire them at a pace that you like. I plan to pick up about three 2nd WI figures a month.

[marco55]

I would really pick up the fence sets first,there going fast as FL products last in stock for quite awhile,Except for flagbearers that is.
Mark

 

[braddinpa]

That makes sense. Because I am surprised how quickly the Fence sets are selling. I guess it is because they are so unique. I might go after the Cushing set too. That looks pretty good to! I guess we are lucky to have such choices to make.

Whoops, you are correct. The ACW08 Walking Wounded 2 figure Vignette is of course $119.95. Apologies!
