I know I have been reviewing Armies in Plastic a lot, but their figures are so amazing and admirable that I have to share them with you. This particular set of figures is the French army that assisted our USA in helping us defeat the British and become an independent country (the only reason they helped us is mostly because they have always had a rivalry with the British).
The top row has one man advancing more or less nonchalantly, while another is steadily advancing with fixed bayonet, the officer is next in line and seems to be holding a map in his right hand and a pistol in his left and has a sword strapped to his left thigh,the next figure is an infantryman jogging or sprinting with bayonet poised, and the last figure is standing and taking a shot with his musket . The bottom row has the first figure charging toward the enemy lines, the next is loading his Charleville musket, the third is standing and firing his musket, the fourth is on patrol or steadily and surprisingly calmly advancing, and the last one is kneeling and firing.
I know that this would be inefficient for business but really all of them should be standing and firing since firing in formation was the way organized armies operated in combat. But that isn't very important and the revolutionary war was strange when it came to battles in its own right.
This set is $15.00 and due to its quality, awesome poses, and details, I give it a 9/10.
