Plastic Civil War figures from Safari Ltd. (2 Viewers)

[kreddy]

Has anybody seen these? They're from a company called Safari Ltd., and they seem to be around $14 - $15 (U.S) a set around here. There are two sets of Confederate soldiers (one with five soldiers and a sixth piece of lanscaping; the other with a mounted figure, three standing soldiers, and a cannon) and two sets of Union soldiers. The mounted soldiers and their horses looks a little off, but the standing soldiers seem like a cheap way to add some background figures to an army.
(Pictured below are one Confederate set and one Union set; pictures are from the Safari Ltd. website.)

These look like fun to play with or a starter set for younger collectors. For the price you could start with painted Conte plastics.

Painted Contes NOT available, or do mean the Safaris?

Just did . . . for the four sets of painted ACW figures, they all say:
"*This item is out of stock. The manufacturer has no re-stock date at this time, but has not announced that it is discontinued."
