I’m not impressed. Even if I was into that era, I would not buy them. The sculpting is okay, but the poses are sort of unusual, the ones that are doing something, are kind of an odd assortment.
Interesting new set of figures, Some great action poses and some unusual poses which are very different from the normal. Not the best sculpting ive ever seen but never the less still good, I like them.
Also as Erwin mentioned these could be used for many Ancient and Medieval periods.
