Review by Richard Brooks
I got these at Historicon, at first I just picked up the characters but mistakenly picked up one of the naval figs as well. I liked it so much I went back for the rest (just what I needed more Naval Brigade figs I already have 67, now I have 79, heck one more as in EXT1 and I’ll have four units). EXT1 Capt. Jack Cole smoking a cigar, bearded holding a sword, naval captain. Figure is 28mm from base of foot to eye. BRT01 The Colonel, slightly over weight, with cigar, ribbons, pistol holster on left front, side-whiskers and sash, red coat. Figure is 28mm from base of foot to eye. BRT03 Officer advancing left, pistol in left hand, clean-shaven, long sword in right hand. Sunstroke city dudes, he’s got no helmet. BRT02 Officer firing revolver to right, clean-shaven, long sword in scabbard in left hand. Sunstroke city dudes, he’s got no helmet. Figure is 28mm from base of foot to eye. BRT04 Practical Officer pointing left, pistol in right hand, holster on left, ammo pouch on right, in a helmet. Figure is 27.5mm from base of foot to eye. EXT12 Capt. Nemo, James Mason version from the movie 20,000 Leagues, in a smoking jacket, champagne glass in left hand. Figure is 28mm from base of foot to eye. EXT15 Baron Von Gruber a bad guy, over weight, holding monocle to eye, in picklehaub, with decorations. EXT14 Count Von Schickle, pointing to left, hand on pistol, bald, monocle, with decorations. Figure is 28mm from base of foot to eye. EXT17 Old Quartermain from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen,double barreled Elephant gun fits under right arm nicely done gun cross hatched forward grip, hand in bush jacket pocket. Figure is 28mm from base of foot to eye. EXT16 Miss Murry has no neck, holding a super pistol in right hand, open left hand. Figure is 26mm from base of foot to eye. At the bottom of the page are all the Naval Boarding Party for their aerial navy. Each comes with two heads, one with goggles. There are two officers ANB01 and ANB02. Overall these are very nice figures and range in height from 25 to 26mm. SO a boon to 25mm figures gamers. Overall these figures are very nicely detailed, sculpted and animated. Highly Recommended
