The new mounted Sioux ( not to be confused with Sue) look great, can't wait to see them up close.

Are you looking at them from a far then?

I agree they look great. Will need at least a couple bags. I'm even more interested to see what TSSD does for their next sets of dismounted cav and indians which will include casualties. Should be pretty cool.

So far, they should be on their way here though.

Okay, now I have them in hand, they look even better then I expected.

The mounted Sioux are very well done. The way the figures stay on the horses without saddles is well-engineered. No broken foot pegs like the old Airfix while allowing very "clean" sculpts of both the riders and the horses.

The dynamic posing of the revolver armed Sioux hanging off the side of the horse for cover/to take a close shot is as memorable a figure as has been done in toy soldiers, IMO.

I laughed when I went to the TSSD site and saw the "teaser" photo of the upcoming cavalry casualties. I haven't had the mounted Sioux for a week and already another amazing set on the horizon seizes my imagination/curiosity.

Not my period BUT...... I like these figures. I've painted about 7 of their braves on foot. This brave looks like he's come right from the camp in a hurry, which I understand they had to.

Classic Toy Soldiers has a similar pose in their series. ( He has a shield too) But they don't stay on the horses well w/o glue or making a peg.

I look forward to viewing the new San Diego mounted figures.

Here are a few pictures of the old Classic figures.

TSSD's Mounted Sioux are great.
I have converted two of them to grounders.

I use a sort of tacky putty to hold riders on. TSSD seems to have copied some of the CTS which I like better except for theose poor CTS ponies.
