Sorry, no scanner, but they're compatible with the Revell figures. There are just four poses.

But this time we have no figures cut out of the sprue...

Here the photo from the BB-Toys homepage

For figures and even one a command one... And just two horse-poses.

cheers

Thank you Uwe for the picture link,there are none on P S R at this present time.
I agree Santi only four poses ,and only two poses for the horses is a poor deal for those who have great interest in this period of history, and who only buy plastic figures. There also seems very little scope for conversion`s on this set. The side shooting figure I feel a total dead lose of a pose. Only 12 riders and horses in a box as is Waterloo1815`s old style. Compared with other cavalry sets that contain 18 poses from other companies. However for those buying them,guys you enjoy painting them.BB

I usually see good potential in most sets but these...yes very limited poses and I agree the shooting sideways guy is an odd choice, especially when looking at the horses (full speed!). If they match well with the Revell TYW cavalry then I propably will get a box. Perhaps that is the intent, to complement the Revell set?
Anyway, they are better than no figures at all so cheers to Waterloo 1815 to release a plastic 1/72 set nobody else have. Hopefully they make enough money to make a Set 2 :-D A TYW/ECW cavalry set that is NOT charging full speed would be nice..

Hello,
it seems I had nearly the same impressions of that set. I just wrote about it yesterday. Some Details pictures can be found here on my little blog.
