One thing that we shouldn't forget is that these KnC models are not targeted at us but newer and younger collectors, where accuracy may not be as key a concern. Not saying this as a justification but more as an explanation.
If it is intended that these are to be sold through stores like Walmart and Target, I don't think the people buying these -- parents at this time of the year -- are worrying about accuracy. Speaking of which, if it is intended to be sold through Walmart, they better hurry and get these on the shelves.
I would not be surprised one day if the KnC division becomes the biggest seller and the traditional toy soldier market is left behind.
Just because the collectors are younger or less experienced should we sell them some figures of Custer's 7th Cavalry to be used for the Charge of the Light Brigade? Same basic principle involved - peddling inaccurate material to someone isn't going to get them to be passionate about the hobby.
