It's not a lot to pass judgment, only a photograph but, they seem to be better than their chasseurs à cheval. However, maybe less detailed than other plastic models available...

A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://www.kingdomtitans.ca/us/

I was interested to see the watering cap and bicorn headgear as well as post 1812 helmets. Can't see the bodies well enough to see if both pre and post 1812 uniforms are modelled, like the Perry light dragoons set.

Glad to see someone is doing these in plastic but Warlord's 2 horse options isn't very good...no variety at all. As for the actual figs, I can't really make out the detail from the photo and I can't locate any better ones on the net. So are the bodies different for early and late Hvy Cav or generic??? I am guessing these will be out for Salute next month.

I'm interested purely by the possibility of Bicorne wearing plastic cavalry.

Had a closer look at these yesterday before Salute opened and while one model has a bicorn on and another a watering cap all the bodies had the post 1812 jackets with the thick vertical stripes of lace down the front rather than the individual button hole horizontal lace of the pre 1812 jackets also So for me at least it's  back to metals for my early peninsula army.
