"Sons of the South - Rebel Yell"
Signature Series
7 New
American Civil War Sets NOW SHIPPING!!!!
Dear Fellow
Collector,
We have just today (3/19/07) received the first advance shipment of the much
talked about & awaited Sons of the South American Civil War sets. I am extremely
proud of this new range of Civil War figures...without any doubt I can assert
that this range sets a new standard for us and is an exciting step forward from
our already highly popular range of Civil War figures which have depicted the
"Late Unpleasantness Between the States" for the past seven years.. As great as
our previous Civil War figures have been, THESE take things to the next
level......
These stalwart fellows look more like living, breathing warriors than they do
toy soldiers. My intention was to create the utmost in realism with this range
and make the collector feel as though you 'are there' just moments before the
Sons of the South crash into the Union line. Intensity, determination, pride
and self assuredness is amazingly 'written' onto the faces and the body language
of these figures.....as is pain when the inevitable casualties occur.. These
gentlemen will give their all for Master Robert and their beloved South.
These sets are so unique that they all have been labeled as "Signature Sets" and
make their appearance in deluxe new packaging. When you hold these fellows they
might at first seem more substantial than usual due to the extra 'heft' of the
pewter in the larger than usual bases/stands. (We've received lots of requests
-ever since our Rangers/Indians series was released-- that we increase the size
& detail of the bases/stands of all of our other ranges.....we've listened.
Seven new sets numbered SOS-002 through SOS -008 are in the warehouse. The
office is calling to confirm preorders first and then will commence general
shipping . If you've been waiting for these please call or email immediately as
this advance shipment will sell out within the next 10 days (and then it may be
over a month or more until the next batch arrives)
These sets are the first seven of 16 new ACW sets which were premiered in
prototype form at OTSN and created a general frenzy due to the incredible
sculpting, enhanced painting and larger figure stands/bases.
These sets are ALL 'fine pewter' (not less expensive white metal alloys used by
many in the toy soldier world). Additional 'waves' of this series will have hand
to handsets and plenty of Yankee opponents.
The prices for these sets are slightly higher than what we've charged for past
ACW offerings due to the additional pewter used, a more intricate level of
painting & the amazing sculpting .... resulting in heretofore unseen animation
and action.
All seven sets portray tanned, weathered (sometimes grizzled & dirty), and weary
Confederate veterans in action...in the midst of any number of historic
charges. Most collectors who see these immediately conjure up images of the
final moments of Pickett's Charge.
