Overall impressions:
This set includes a good selection of 12 poses which manage to include all the important ones but still have some originality. The casual marching man is very believable. The soldier bayoneting is a fair attempt to portray a notoriously difficult act. The usual firing, reloading and advancing poses are to be found here too. Both the sergeant and officer poses are good, although the wounded man with musket raised in the air is much harder to find a use for. the sculpt of the drummer is excellent, and likely to be a young man, which is reasonable. There is also a man running with the battle standard.
The range of clothing seems perfectly realistic with various jackets, headgear, equipment and weapons. Most wear some form of the popular slouch hat, and some have their blanket rolled around their torso. This lack of uniformity of appearance would not always have been the case, but it was common enough, especially in some units, to mean these figures look reasonable as a collection by themselves as well as placed next to those from other manufacturers.
The sculpting is good and there is no flash to speak of. Detail is perfectly good and there is no excess plastic.
These figures are nicely animated and reasonably lively. They mix well with output from several other manufacturers, and apart from the flag, which needs completely replacing for being the wrong shape and too small, everything here is very usable and looks good. They would be more than acceptable for any miniature Confederate force.
Easy construction suitable to beginner modelers.
