Toy Soldier Collector Little Legion's New Zulu and Egypt/Sudan Figures

Little Legion's New Zulu and Egypt/Sudan Figures

Review take from 'New Releases'

Friend of the magazine Mike Norris of Little Legion got in touch again this issue with details of three brand new sets he’s just releasing. In fact these sets are so new Mike hadn’t even had time to give them codes before letting me see them.

Little Legion are synonymous with high quality traditional gloss toy soldiers, and in particular for figures from both the Zulu and Napoleonic periods, and it’s one of these that a couple of the new sets are from. These two new Zulu sets vary greatly in content. The first depicts three dismounted British Carabineers running and all three are wearing the familiar dark blue uniform from the period. The second set is a single mounted 24th Foot officer with pistol raised. Little Legion have done other mounted 24th Foot officers in the past although these have usually been wounded etc. so this is the first time he has produced this more standard of poses.

The Carabineers set retails for £28.75 whilst the 24th Foot officer is £24.

Moving away from the Zulu conflict Mike’s third and final release for this issue is from his lesser-known Egypt and Sudan range. The figures, or rather regiment, depicted in this set need no introduction as next to the Black Watch, the Gordon Highlanders are one of the world’s most recognised and respected regiments. With this new set Mike has produced the famous regiment as a six piece set featuring three standing, and three kneeling at the ready figures all wearing the khaki tunics synonymous with this period in history.

Expect to pay £59.50 for this six figure set.

All these new figures are to Mike’s exacting standards and should appeal to anybody who prefers gloss figures. Prices quoted are plus 10% P&P within the UK, for overseas postage rates contact Little Legion direct or visit their website.
