Union above, Rebels below; the Unionists are all painted bar the last one on the right, the Confederates are all unpainted. Note; there are three guys resorting to their sabre's, but I am missing one of each, luckily-enough a different one, so the Federal on the far right and the Confederate on the far left are different sculpts/poses. Painted and unpainted of the same Government pose, with a mounted Rebel and foot figure for comparison, apart from one or two duplicates this is it for my sample, although I will grab some more mounted if I see them going cheap and try to get the missing poses on either side! Meanwhile a few centuries earlier, or a couple of lines across the Jean factory floor, we find the medievals; seven of eight foot poses and a couple of mounted, all silver, although my first black one (mounted) came-in the other day, via Theo van der Werden, which will have to wait for the 'H is for . . .' post! With the Blue Box copies though, I think I have all the poses! Further to some of the musings in this post, I have one as good as Jean's but without a mark, there is a slight angle change to the head, but that could be accidental during removal from the mould-tool? It's also - obviously - unpainted. And while we've previously seen Korona premiums and Blue Box copies here at Small Scale World, along with Hong Kong marked and Trioplast copies and 'maybe' Hong Kong from original moulds, while mentioning Imperial, here's a Nigrin shoe-polish premium horse to finish off, so T is for Three and a bit!
