Why The Change in 'Zulu Twilight no.1' (1 Viewer)

[Dragoon]

Why the change? The original pre-order image for 'Zulu Twilight no.1' had a Zulu face down over the mealy bags.

Now with the eminent release, Britains looks to be using the same Zulu curving backwards as comes with 'Zulu Twilight no. 2'

Don't know if its cost cutting or what, but changing the figure in set no.1 is a big disappointment.

I wonder if the AZW series is taking a backseat to ACW and WWI series. First no club figure and now the same figure in different sets.

I hope not.

The image in the Summer Catalog was incorrect with the wrong Zulu pictured. The sets will have different figures as shown. I confirmed this with WB today!

I thought I had read it was to be changed to different Zulus but could not remember where
thanks for confirming

Hi All!
The error was during the initial photography and the arrival of the second set of Pre-production samples after the catalog was published.
There are unique poses and details for each set and the casualties that are meant to be on the barricades are specifically designed for each of the different types.
This is why we included both images with the notation in the Fall/Winter collection catalog. I think both sets will be welcomed additions to many collectors Anglo-Zulu War displays.
Sorry for any confusion.

Bought the sets from the London Guards Shop and the figures are different in both sets. Think it was picture error rather than a 'set' error.
Nice sets.

That is good news, I have them pre-ordered. I am a huge fan of this series and I have the complete run so far. Although, I am still disappointed that there was no AZW club figure this year.
