Oooh, wonderful. I reckon this box might come in handy for a lot of people!  :o  While also catering to the historical and pulp themes.

Yup, I'll be getting these (still going to keep my Foundry figures though).

They are hoping to do the other nations as well and I sincerely hope they do so  8)
cheers

Some of these models be usable in the Taiping Rebellion. Not the pistol and rifle armed models though perhaps there are plans for alternate weapons?

very good choice..even the section of the production to which they belong "Imperial Conquest" is very promising...i imagine that, in a near future , the figures that depict the masses of soldier's type of the majority of armies will be produced in plastic while the manufactures that produce metal minis will concentrate on personality/accurate/specialist type of soldiers...in that particular case i m also curious in discovering the compability of those Boxers with similar one made by other manufactures ..for example Foundry and OG.

Alright! I have my doubts about the rattan shields, though, including the holes at their centres and their not-so-conical shapes.

Seems like this company is interesting in plugging the gaps with plastic eg halflings, afghans, persians...what do we think will be next?

the bodies of 2 or 3 of those minis, armed and posing as boxers, in fact seem to be usable only as Kansu Braves not really as boxers or other chineese...for what i saw on many picts the uniform with those typical lateral aprons was one of the features peculiar to Kansu Braves appearance.

In their latest poll. They decided to go with Aztec and Conqistadors.

A very surprising result given the choices or perhaps my thinking is a bit Eurocentric?

I prefer 100% cotton myself but I can see how these would appeal to fetishists.

E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
