Received the 5 new Russian Dragoon and am generally pleased. We Napoleonic collectors need more adversaries for the French other than the British.
The figures are well painted and sculpted with sturdy packaging so no damage on arrival.
The horses seem a little small and leg position a little awkward but acceptable.
I would also suggest more generic figures for collecting multiples.....with an officer, flag bearer and trumpeter the opportunity for doubles is based on two troopers
one of whom is slashing down not charging.
So really only one figure is ok for multiples unless you can modify the officer to a trooper.
All in all I'm happy to get some mounted Russians and hopefully some day we'll get Austrian and Prussian cavalry!
