Mike Blake reviews the latest plastic figures for collectors

Paragon Scenics
US Cavalry (Civilian) and Apache Scouts

This is a set to warm the cockles of every Old West fan’s heart! What wonderful characters these guys are. They are packaged eight figures per blister card and come in two flavours. There are all eight scouts in buckskin coloured plastic, or you can go for the four Cavalry civilian scouts in light blue and the four Apache scouts in buckskin.

I just love the look of these guys, the civilian scouts, three in heavily fringed buckskin jackets, the four poses being full of action: kneeling on both knees (love this pose) firing Winchester carbine, standing firing revolver (very dynamic pose with left arm raised), standing firing Winchester carbine, and kneeling firing revolver. These figures are just crying out to appear in a Custer’s Last Stand diorama! The Apache scouts are as good, again the four poses conveying lots of pent up action: wearing a slouch hat kneeling firing revolver , standing pointing holding Springfield carbine levelled in right hand, standing fighting with knife, and standing firing a Winchester carbine.

All are wearing the right equipment and have revolvers on one hip and a hunting knife on the other. This is a wonderful addition to the Paragon Old West range, some of the best figures for the period ever made in plastic.
