Toy Soldier Collector Country Honor August 2012  Review by Rob Hendrie

Country Honor

August 2012 Review by Rob Hendrie
Napoleonics


Founded in Hong Kong in 2011, Country Honor joins the Napoleonic fray with four British Redcoats and four Highlanders. Considering this new company is entering the most competitive of all toy soldier battlefields, they have made a confident start.

First seen in the UK at the June London Show, the figures are a fairly close match with Napoleonics by Britains both in size and look and in some areas fare better. The facial expressions are particularly well sculpted and over the flesh tone is a wash of white which is First Legion in style but not as subtle. The uniform shading and detailing reminded me of early K&C figures with quite dark lines used to indicate creases. Perhaps we’ve become used to more scenic bases than these have but that is not enough to put me off.

And the poses are good too. The figures are active and mean business with the Highland officer (004) being both commanding and imposing and is, for me, the stand-out figure of the eight.

So there’s animation, good action and the figures are nicely boxed. But the best news is that they are only £23 each and that, for the quality offered, makes them excellent value and a fine way to build a Napoleonic display. ‘With your support,’ states the company’s website, ‘Country Honor will become more brilliant in the future!’ We look forward to their next batch of releases and thank Maison Militaire for supplying the samples.
