This is the first picture of our latest figure (assuming I can post it). It shows a Macgregor Gentleman Officer of Mackays’s Regiment during the Thirty Years War. When Mackay’s Regiment was formed amongst the first recruits were some Macgregors, and I was able to find an authentic Macgregor tartan dating from the 17th century. It’s a simplified tartan, not the same as the modern day clan tartan but authentic none the less. So this is our conjectural Gentleman Officer from the Green Brigade.
It’s a Special Finish Limited Edition of just 50. The basic Thirty Years War officer will always be available, but this conversion, with the basket hilt claymore and the Auld Blue Banner, and the authentic Macgregor tartan will never be sold again once the 50 are gone.
Mackay’s regiment and the other Scots regiments of the Green Brigade became the Regiment de Hebron – the forerunner of the Royal Scots, the Senior Regiment of the British Army, so this figure is the first of the Redcoats. The achievements of the Scots Regiments, during the Thirty Years War, their courage and gallantry, have never been equalled even by the magnificent 350 year record of their descendants the Royal Scots.
Russian figures are different to figures made and painted in China, and if you haven’t seen Russian figures you should at see some.
When I said “our figure” I didn’t sculpt or paint the figure however I did the original research and came up with the concept. I did this once before when we sold a Special Edition Knight to Toy Soldier & Model Figure magazine. Readers heard about it on the grapevine and before the magazine was on sale all the figures were sold.
