So i, for one, will enjoy and buy these new figures. And if he releases the French with the muaket on the left, I will buy those as well


Yep, I'd second that. Regardless of gripes over pose numbers and accuracy, there are some terrifically sculpted figures and a great choice of topics too. Keep it up Waterloo 1815! :yeah: :-)

Did you get 12 or 18 figures per box? I saw that flagbearer on ebay sells 18 figures per box but original number of figures is 12.

According to PSR there should be 18 figures in the box. http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/review.aspx?id=2436

Yes Gunnar, but look at the boxart. It says 24 pieces. I conclude that it means 12 horses + 12 riders.
Maybe an error was made when box was designed. Or I'm getting something wrong...

PSR covered the subject :

http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/review.aspx?id=2436

There's 18 figures in each box the plastic is top quality (hard) and can be cut and glued very easily, so to provide lances to extra trumpeters with very few modification and directly to extra flag bearers to get more lancers by box.

A great set to my opinion ! The sculpting is similar to Italeri, which mean among the best with the finest details !

I can confirm, There's 18 figures with 18 horses in each box (3 sprues), and not only 12 as written on the box, an extra sticker has been provided on the box to correct this number.
