We purchased the Safari Ltd Confederate Sets 1 & 2, Union Sets 1 & 2, the Bridge and the Officer's Tent. We were searching for army men but could only find the smaller type that have to be painted. These are perfect size, sturdy, substantial, are already painted and come w/historical information too. Make sure you buy two tents; one for each side! We wish they made more army sets. Great sets!

Note: in two of the sets, I think it's the flag bearer and the gun loader who won't stand up due to top heaviness and/or figure footing. Not enough of a problem to deter from purchasing. You can easily crazy glue/cement a small base to the bottom. These are excellent figures!! So much better looking than the little solid colored army figures.

Safari Ltd: Please make more in greater variety!

Toy soldiers were a staple as a kid growing up for me 40 years ago. My own son is more interested in 'action figures.' So when I bought him the full set of Safari Civil War figures (this set, plus a matching Union set and a few more pieces) I was curious whether or not he'd "take" to them. To my delight and surprise, he loves them. Unlike his action figures, he even asked me to get a nice wooden box for him to keep these in because to him these are his "special army men." Sturdy, plastic but not obnoxiously so, highly detailed and stable so they stand, kneel, crouch or otherwise are poseable the way they were intended. Highly recommended!
