They were my first-ever box of
54mm "soft" plastic miniatures.
Bought them for about $5.00 US.
Though comparatively crude to the likes of Historex and other metal miniature makes, they were great in their simplicity!
Lacking straps and packs, they lent themselves to a variety of uses (as has been stated) and then some. I've used their heads to make Austrian artillerymen! They have a number of uses in other armies as well - if not in while, at least in "parts". ;-)
Though, I do wish they had released line, lights, guards, cav, and artillery gunners (especially in similar size)!
I, for one, am glad they are on the market! Especially due to their myriad of uses (unlike most of the other German stuff!).
Thanks HaT!

Hatblogger are these still in stock to buy?
@Anth, ya, I think we still might have a few. E-mail me to buy.
Great set, always liked them.
I still have about 60 of these to paint - bought many boxes off ebay auctions about 6 years ago but dont see many nowadays -
try head swaps to shakos and you have Brunswick Line Infantry see my old photos on hat listings pages

It is with these figures i started to think about wargaming in /132, and making an Austrian army (as jâger an landwehr for 1809 battles). Later on I used a lot of these figures to make my Swedish Finnish wargame army, so bought a lot of them. This army wa also my first ETS contribution.
That's the great thing about ETS,It was after I saw your contribution that I copied your paint conversin and did my 1st Swedes.I was also amazed after seeing Vladimirs coversions. Still working to do something like them.
