I received a set of British Lt. Dragoon Command and British Rifle Command. Since the figures were off the shelf so to speak from Soldier World U.S.A., I was surprised that they were relatively clean of flash. The uniforms on all the figures were very finely detailed and appeared to be fairly accurate. Proportionately, the human figures are very nice, the mounts are not representative of the finest horseflesh that Great Britain had to offer. The animation of the figures is relatively passive. The figure are also on the small size at 27mm tall (most manufacturers' figures are closer to 30mm), The figures will blend in nicely with other 25mm types. And as a side note they will make excellent Portuguese, KCL, or even Mexicans. To recap, these are fairly good figures for the price of $3.95 for cavalry and $2.95 for infantry. These are available from Soldier World USA. Reviewing Stand
