I may be neglecting the
Airfix purists at the moment but I'm giving the
Giant chattering-class a handful of Katzini's this week instead! As this is a non-box that should be split between the other two - missing - boxes, I have no mounted figures in this sample (they're as bad as the ACW ones - believe me!) and as their artillery is identical to the Civil War stuff we looked at the other day (
C is for Copies) it's just a look at the foot figures...
..where we find the blue-force commander wishing - as the rounds wizz ever nearer - that he hadn't let his Godmother choose his new uniform the last time she went shopping in Paris.
They are really quite good for Hong Kong production, copied from the
SAE figures of
Holgar Eriksson, and with the detail so well preserved they may have used 54mm figures (or technically; 55mm if
Comet/Authenticast's were used?) as donor models.
With regards to the officers - I'm not too sure how effective a light-sabre duel will prove to be once they are 20 paces away from each other?
A close-up of the kneeling firer, there's nothing in it between this figure and the various new production sets around at the moment from
HaT or
Strellets*R, indeed this chap is a darn sight better sculpted, proportioned and even detailed than some recent sets I could mention!!
These are again; non-Giant nappies, in yellow, red and pink. The horse they came with is the one I call 'Remould' but better than the ones we looked at a few weeks ago, so I guess earlier production by the same people, but the limbers are the poor one, so when I sort them all out I suspect we'll find they come somewhere between the two sets looked at the other day.
