Thanks to all who liked this post.

Who would like to see Britain's add to the USCT in future releases?

The 54th Mass. would be nice with a Shaw figure in mounted and/or foot versions.

I agree with you Randy, it would be great if there were more 54th

54th would be nice but there were many other regiments in the USCT; for example the USCT was involved in the Battle of the Crater. Their participation was key to winning the War. As toy soldiers can sometimes lead to reading about the soldiers we collect I think it would be great if Ken could look at other regiments too.
