FOV U.S. Civil War Union Soldiers opinions wanted

Post by General custer » Wed Feb 27, 2008 8:12 am

I need to know, if this soldiers of Forces of valor about ACW are as beautiful as their tank crew members, or as ugly as their 8th Army or Iraq War figures ( hands too large, articulations awkward) . Because I can only see painting of this sets, no pics:

If one among you own these figures, I would appreciate much a true photograph!

Many thanx to all!

I'm actually very pleased with them. They are not chubby like the WWII figures. I would definently recommend them! :D

Wow man, those are sweet! Why oh why can't we see 1:32 WWII and modern figure sets as nice as these at Target and TRU! :cry: :cry:

I bought a whole bunch of them when Target clearanced them at $1.48 and gave them to a friend that is into civil war stuff, they looked very nice.
Could not think of anything to put here.

As Kim said, these were at Target last year, along with other sets featuring pirates, knights, vikings, and (my favorite) Romans. The figures are all of the quality of FOV's best 1/32 modern and WWII troops. FOV seems to be expanding on this line with thier new 1:18 figure lineup :wink:
