new US Cavalry and Apaches... (1 Viewer)

[binder001]

I just saw that Paragon is going to do some plastic 54mm US Cavalry and Apaches starting in mid 2010. See;
http://www.paragon-scenics.com/Home.html

The prototypes sure look nice. If the molding comes out nice then these will have some of the nicest Colt Model 1873 revolvers ever done.

I am glad to see that these will be size compatible with the TSSD cavalry troopers - eases cross-kitting and conversions. The Apaches look quite different from the plains tribes, but there might be some figure conversion possibilities there.

I hadn't seen this posted on this board and thought I'd pass it along.

I think they've been discussed on this board before, but not for a bit. Yes, indeed, they are very nice. It is always nice to see new plastic lines come out, particularly western.

I saw Paragon's product at the Westcoaster, and I came away really impressed. Paragon's figures match up perfectly in size to TSSD's too . Here are a few pics from the show:

I believe the owner of Paragon's name is Gene, and I enjoyed meeting and talking to him as I looked over his excellent playset. Their figures are outstanding, as are their foam scenics. Well done Paragon!

I also handled these New Frontier Figures.
They are outstanding.
Converting them with the TSSD Figures will make the
mounted guys for Rio Grande and Yellow Ribbon.

I too think they look great. I have one concern: that a couple of the poses look like the head may be too small or out of proportion to the body. I see the same thing in the Cunnyngham confederate loading his rifle. Thoughts?
