Title: New poses in Napoleonic range
Post by: naponicoleone on 04 September 2024, 03:58:39 PM
Hello,

First of all sorry for my English. I hope my message will be understandable.

Are new Napoleonic figures planned in the future?

Because I am a big fan of the Napoleonic era. For example, I find that there is a big difference between the figures of the Napoleonic range and those of the AWI range. Both are magnificent. That is not the problem.

But there are many poses in the AWI range but I find too few poses in the Napoleonic range. For example, I would like French infantrymen in advancing pose (bayonets forward) or infantry with 5 or 6 different poses. In fact, as many different poses as in the AWI range. That would be perfect ;)

Hi - your English is great - don't worry about that!

One of the reasons the AWI has so many codes is that there has been direct customer commission of sculpts - and I think Clib enjoyed sculpting the ranges, so that probably has done a few extra variants too. 

One of the problems with Naps is there is just such a range of nations and uniforms to cover, and that is before you start on variant poses in those uniforms.

Thank you for your response :)

I'm happy with the AWI range but i don't want to buy some napoleonics miniatures because of the lack of variation in the miniatures poses. I would like to contact a sculptor to do some new miniatures in variant poses. Is it possible to contact Clib or is there a website to do request about new sculpts?

Extra poses for the Napoleonic range is unlikely unfortunately.  We have a slightly different arrangement with the AWI sculptor where he is able to choose ranges/periods that he has an interest in and then we benefit with extra poses and comprehensive ranges at a reduced cost.

If we were to add 5-6 poses to all of the Napoleonic range the costs would be several £1000's and it wouldn't be viable to do.
