And who makes the figures for that?

Hurry! We must tell Iron Duke before he continues selling the wrong figures!

PS: Sad thing is that the story of the real Rani of Jhansi is more interesting that this fantasy.

Wow that's bad even for Bollywood!!! Old Glory's version of the Rhani was outstanding believe it or not, as are the others in the Mutineer command pack

To be fair it’s a great look for motorcycle cops!

Yep, the real story is much better by far. I was always skeptical about the horse leap tale of her escape from Jhansi Quila. Having stood at the point from which she leapt it is quite feasible for an expert horse person. About the height of the grand bank at Hickstead with a decent batter to the fortress wall, The problem comes in maintaining a line down the castle hill over quite rough ground.

I think the film takes as much licence with historical reality as most historically-inpired western movies do, especially with the 'other': the Persians in 300, American Indians and various incarnations of the 'Easterner'. We just 'see' it better because in this case the tables are turned.

Hummm... Dunno... I never mistook 300 for anything but fantasy

Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons has ruined so many historical movies that came after! 'Nuff said.

Is this film anything else than that?

Didn’t she appear in one of the Flashman books ? 😁 The Foundry figure is a corker ,btw.
