OK I got my hands on the figures at the shop. My inpressions ,still WOW! On their own as stand alone figures, most of them are pretty good. Forceful and intense. That said the bases are almost 3/16ths of an inch higher than the old bases. What to do . Either raise your existing figures or cut out parts of your diorama to fit. Or do the forced pespective that I descibed earlier. Also these figures are a lot more fuller than the others and the skin tone darker. Heighthwise with out the base problem they are close. But whoever heard of a stocky starving Confederate. Don't get me started on the horse. Conte has done much better in the past. I know I have plenty of them because I liked them. This horse looks like a great Dane Woof! Woof! I will admit that I am not a sculptor but then I have never tried either. A lot of work goes in to production. Something got lost in the translation here. In the Past Conte has done better. If these figures had come with a terrain base we might not even have had this thread.
My advise as always buy what you like and don't worry about resale.
Great, glad to hear your opinion Vamp. still awaiting my troops arrival, but am very hopefull after what you have said, hopefully i will see soon enough myself,
correction though my friendly creature of the nite, i don't think anything was said about re-sale value in this instance (which is a bunch of hogwash anyway, if i want resale i'll buy stocks).
hope you had the curtains shut when you came out of the coffin to post, don't want anything like the lead/coffee mug to happen to ya
