In my last post I mentioned that I was looking for 2nd generation Minifigs War of 1812 Americans. I was in a rush to get the posting done, so I didn't post any photos of the different between the 3 generations of Minifigs. Below are photographs of an ACW figure from each "generation, to show the progression of detailing of Minifigs.

| A 1st generation Zouave; a 2nd generation Marine; and a 3rd generation Marine. Needless to say, the quality of successive generations is easy to see. However, I'm looking for the "Old School" look. |

My buddy has some 15mm 1812 Americans for sale. They look like Minifig to me but not sure of the Generation iteration. He is out of town currently or I would ask. Take a look at his photos and see if these are what you looking for.

That is a nice collection of figures. Most of the regulars look like 3rd generation Minifigs. The regiment painted as Maryland militia are Frontier Miniatures. I have some of the Frontier figures and do like them.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see the changing quality. There's a bit of scale creep too isn't there?
ReplyDeleteI can see why they would stop making the 1st generation, especially with what other manufacturers were making. I guess the more detail, you must expect the scale creep. At least they don't look like they weigh 300 pounds.
