Welcome to the Strelets Forum. Please feel free to discuss any aspect of 1/72 scale plastic figures, not simply Strelets. If you have any questions about our products then we will answer them here.
I'm looking forward to putting some swords, axes, spears and even knives in both the horse figurine's and foot figurine's hands just to build up some numbers. The horse guys would make an impressive looking column leaving or entering a castle with a wagon.
You also make a very good point. This nice soft plastic still has "memory" as you suggested for the jesters. Small changes do not require hot water.
