This part of my review of the Hobby Lobby Civil War Value Pack focuses on the additional figures.
First, the mounted horsemen:
Both the Union and Confederate mounted figures are well done. These are great for representing either regimental colonel or even brigadier generals.
The Union officer is typical, wearing a sword and a kepi for headgear.
The Confederate officer is also well-rendered. Same riding configuration as the Union version, except that he wears a slouch hat, much like the infantry figures in the set.
The horses are well modeled, featuring such details as a bridle, harness, saddle, and blanket roll.
The flag carrying figures are OK, but there are some issues here.
On the rebel side, the staff seems to be a bit too short, and the flag itself is rectangular. The typical Confederate flag was 4x4 square.
On the Federal side, the glaring error is that the color guardsman is carrying a 50-star flag!
What's up with that?
$7.99 Chinese-made set, no doubt.
More to come....
