I like them now, i think they will fit more nicely with the pirates , i do like the tall hat redcoats ( i have about 40 of them or so ) but these look so so soooo much better and they have swords also . awesome. 400 no less. i am asking some fellow playmofreinds to see if anyone can place that order for me ....

I have decided to buy 400 red coats and 20 officers . if there is anyone who can get me this order processed , please PM me , pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

400? Is that a typo? Gods, you're worse than me!
(somehow, that's heartening )

Yeap, 400 new redcoats  , 20 new redcoat officers and will probably get 100 of the older type red coat officers ( with the blue cape ) for cavalry/lancers , i will use also mu exisiting  tall hat redcoats ( around 40) for artillery crews and aux  and the very old type redcoats ( around 20 ) for banner carriers and drummers . thats the plan anyway. Got to buy the klickies first!!! . Socrates has done me once a great favour and ask for me . i hope to get them and share some photos of a british redcoat army with you soon !!!!

Arnaud I am sure you can help with creating some awesome union jakcs of the era and british army flags Sire ??

Obvious question, which I believe has yes for an answer, but:

Is the sword belt of the officer a new mold? (It must be larger than the "gordo" belt ...)

I have the same question, Gustavo.

Thanks for these pics.  I can't wait to buy some of these to create a company or two.  I currently have 24 of the old redcoats, but since these new ones are out, I won't have any need of them.

The captain, or officer...leader whatever... is awesome! I love the long coat. It would be better if the they have the grey wig from the new sets. But for the 3-soldier set...the leg is a little bit disappointing

Probably just the wider belt they normally use on fat klickies, they've done this before.
(f.e. the green conquistador-special 4742 also has the "fatguy"-swordbelt, because of his chest-armourplate)

[Bolingbroke]

I really like these redcoats, especially the boss man. Much better than the one found in the blister. Now that these are out, the blister's somewhat redundant.

Hadoque is right. It is the wider belt, no new mold.
