I have noticed that some horses and/or riders are sometimes positioned noticeably leaning instead to be normally straight on the legs
or in the saddle.
It is not very realistic and given the price of a rider it is really a shame that there is this defect.
And, in regard of the horses, it is not possible to straighten them because there are almost always paint chips.
Here are some photos to illustrate this, knowing that other ranges are also affected ( some napoleonic cavalry for example ).

Yes, I have several First Legion Napoleonic Cavalry that have problems with the plastic reins already having become detached from the horse on arrival and attempts to reattach them with Gorilla brand superglue not being always successful. These are expensive models and they should really be better.

At 200 bucks the rider, I think it is not a bad thing to "overthinking" a little.
And if no one ever says anything, how defects can be corrected by the manufacturers in future productions
( I know that brands are going on this forum ).
After, yes effectively, everyone is free to settle for leaning horses and/or riders ( maybe drunk riders who had too much Cognac before the charge ....).
Besides I think there is a section missing in this forum : Review of items, as in other forums with model kits for example.
I think I'll talk to the TreeFrogtreasures forum moderator about it.
 
I agree FL are expensive these days and yes perhaps should be better, my comment was at the end of the day they are toy soldiers, they arm point wrong way, or looking left rather that right ,etc, etc
