Very cool! But after the crappy sets of the Romans it would be nice to see figures in this high quality. What a nice website that presented these figs btw. :mrgreen:

I hope they turn out well. There are some nice poses in that set. Lots of character.

Agree with Steve. And some of the poses are pretty similar with some Strelets poses. Hmmm, that's strange! ;-)

A bit like the Medieval Britain poses?

One of the characters looks like Robin Hood with a goose. That costume looks a bit out of place. The rest look good.

Brilliant sculpts! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

So next, how about a kneeling Anne Boleyn figure - with detachable head? :shock: :mrgreen:

(No worse taste than some of the recent Linear-B figures... :roll: )

These do look very nice! I'm wondering though, Strelets/Linear-b have shown some nice masters as of late, but then it seems that the detail on the actual production sets is not nearly as good. Would it have something to do with the way the figures are produced by them? Just an observation....

Totally missing out on this set so far. What a great surprise when I saw the review at PSR today:

http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=2409

Very useful and nicely sculpted figures for an long overlooked era and topic!
Will buy a box just to have them!!!
I should really re-evaluate my previous attitude towards Strelets by now. Their tattered 6th Army Germans, the Tudors, Ancient Christians and announced WWI artillery crews are a serious improvement compared to their former output. :thumbup:

I only wish there would be more quality sets like this concentrating on the neglected Renaissance.

Held these in my hands at Heiden. Man they looked great! Was trying to find a box there but couldn't find it. Would have been the first 1/72 box of figures I bought in over 3 years! :-D

I think Linear-B and Strelets are two different brand names for figures from the same company.
