Paragon Plains Indians (1 Viewer)

[gabravaya]

In case anyone is interested, we just received the prototypes for the Plains Indians. If all goes well, they should be ready sooner than anticipated. Perhaps even as soon as the Texas Show in May.
Hope you like them.
Best regards.

They look really good, I will get a few sets to build up my forces.

Wow! The best Plains Indians I think Ive ever seen! Something in the poses and detail, just make them jump out at you.

Looks like my beloved J Hoefler Indians are gonna become jealous!

Love them! I notice they are fully clothed. Why not?

Very well done figures. And personally, I like the idea of non plug-in arms, heads, etc. Just a personal choice, I don't like to "put together" plastic figures, Louis Marx never did that. Granted it does give some variety, so that's good for many collectors. Biggest beef is sometimes the plug ins are very weak, and you need to apply too much glue. I remember the Britains civil war had some plug in arms but those were perfect fit, very snug as the male end was long. The stubs that Conte used on his Zulu and WW2 were too small. XForce? Same deal, it's hit or miss with those guys and they have separate arms, heads, packs, etc. Too much effort for me. TSSD did his 4 mounted cavalry with 2 different arms but they also were very snug fit, barely needed glue. So, my message to these makers is if you do plug arms, etc. do it right. You'll have happy buyers that way.

As long as the plugs truly hold, or the plastic like (TSSD) can be glued?

Paragon figures are manufactured in the same factory as TSSD. We use the same plastic. Super Glue works excellently on my plug-ins.

I notice that those awesome Zulu War lines from .....Replicants? (The company that makes mounted and DM Frontier Light Horse etc) are assembly. Wonder if they are plug ins or flight sides.

What does 'flight sides' mean?

And, the company is Expeditionary Force.
