my favourite plaggy figures in the universe of all time ever?
Dear forumeers
Too many to choose from now. 10 yrs ago it would have been easy peasy.
Anyway:
Zvezda's head honcho Jap (taisho) in the Samurai HQ set is a gem.
Orion's woman with child in the Boxer set. Look at it with a magnifying glass.
The Imex figures in the Pilgrims, Eastern Friendly Indians etc. The same sculptor, I think, in all these sets. Can't choose. dib,dib dob- OK then the hunter figure with the antlers EFI.
Strelets Crimean War Balalaika playing Russian sailor and their jester from 071. If pushed I will go for the jester. Reminds me of the late great Marty Feldman. Pity there is only one in the set maybe Alexandre or Robert the Bruce could have one in their sets, only one though not an army of them Odemar's style.
In the far distant past. The Airfix WW1 surrendering German. "Handy hock Fritz" the Tommy shouts. For this little plastic German the war is over.
Pegasus to my mind has produced some wonderful individual figures but the US Rangers is a tour de force. My collective award for favourite cohesive group of figures goes to this remarkable set and those figures on the sand embankment. Pity about the bendy, hard to glue, smelly plastic.
The officer from ancient Greek infantry, Zvezda 8005. PSR says modelled on a bronze statue of a Spartan officer. The whole set of the hoplite army is gorgeous, close to the best detail of any set IMHO.
The flagbearer in the recent Zveda Napoleonic Russian grenadiers.
Any maybe not a great figure, but utterly indespensible for your Napoleonic army, the emperor himself on horseback from Italeri French imperial staff. Paul.
Yes, that officer is based on a very well known statue of an Spartan officer.
Only this statue is holding both his arms under his cloak, not pointing orso as the zvezda one.
Very nice.
Also the kneeling hoplite one is very dramatic: defending himself while lokking upwards.

Hmmm... Revell US Marines, the one waving for the squad to follow. Revell (modern) german paratroops, the one reloading a granatpistole (pretty dinamic pose to me, not a standart one at that).
Revell Life Guard trumpeter, along with the fellow just sitting on his horse. And just about any from their Garde Chasseurs set. And the Chasseur in the French Staff set of Italeri. And the Revell Prussian infantry drummer.
