Barzso New Set (1 Viewer)

It has been reported that the new Barzso playset is "The Battle of Bushy Run" I believe that is a French & Indian War battle. He also has a seperate Fort William Henry.

Awesome! Good choice for Ron, he always said flintlock was his favorite era. Dang, it's gonna make me wish I didn't get rid of my Barzso Braddock's defeat set Oh well, that's what John Jenkins is for

The Fort is huge, it is set up in the main area by the elevators. I will get a picture of it tomorrow.

If not too much trouble, can you get an approximate size in inches of the Fort? Hard to tell from the photos how much display space you would need.
It looks excellent. Thanks.

The Braddock's Defeat set looked good except for the 1775-ish British Regulars.

The Braddock's Defeat is a great Playset.
Barzso has many additional add-ons to supersize it.
If there is any pedantic inaccuracy with the British Regulars, than
I am too glad about Playsets to care.

Well, there's enough information about what British troops looked like in the FIW to easily get them right. Barzso figures in general have good detail worth painting and using for dioramas, and the sets and figures in other series are correct to the period. Sadly the British Grenadiers in that set aren't really good 1775 figures either. A reverse snobbery against authenticity might be appropriate for obvious "toys" like the old Marx play set figures, but not when so much work for so much potential goes into other Barzso sets and even other figures in the same set.

Some of Barzso's frontier sets are based on movies and TV series like Daniel Boone, the movie Northwest Passage, Davy Crockett and even Zorro when you can suspend disbelief at all the fringe and coonskin caps and bad female costumes. Other sets like Lewis and Clark, the Mexican War, Battle of New Orleans, and Tripoli are history heavy and look pretty good.
