I've managed to assemble a dozen or so, and agree models are very fine.
I've drafted a quick review of them on my blog - for anyone who's interested in case you've not yet opened your wallet on the PM website!

Blog is here: http://je-lay-emprins.blogspot.co.uk/

Looking forward to getting some paint on them now - and then the release of the useful metal standard bearers pack.
Cheers, Simon.

In some of the photos on the Perry's site, some of the heads looked underscale and disproportionately small. Is that a fault when one sees the figures "in the flesh"?

Great review, thanks Simon. Glad they've addressed the issue of the polearm joints. Good news  :)

They look mighty fine, and I have to get some as I have been commissioned to make a RIII @ bosworth diorama for an old work colleague.
If it isn't enjoyable, it isn't gaming!

I just got mine today. I M SO EXCITE.

Incorporated one of them into my next command stand for my aSoIaF project.

Good work on the review, Simon.

And I am sure you hear it all the time, but your blog and the body of work contained therein has been a huge inspiration to me. Thanks for sharing your stuff!

I'm eager to get one myself. Maybe I'll get it with a friend and split the contents, 38 knights is a lot of them for my little army.

Just got my (first) box of these.  Overall they are fantastic figures with a lot of animated poses, especially those using poleaxes.  My only disappointment is that there is only one standard bearer in the box.  I guess I will have to buy a couple of sets of the metal figures to ensure that my contingents are all displaying their lord's livery banner.

If you wish to remain 100% plastic, the command sprue should be available separately in a short while.

I'm sure you could stick a bit of styrene rod in place of a pole arm and get as many as you want  :)
