• Victorian Civilians - Man, Woman, boy with hoop, girl with teddy.
• Victorian Civilians 2 - This is the second civilian family set from Eureka. It consists of a well to do middle aged couple with 5yr old children. They all have cast on base. The gent is dressed in a long tailed coat, waist coat, shirt, top hat, trousers and shoes. He stands casually leaning on a cane in his right hand, left hand behind his back. He is suitably English and quite the gent. Casting and sculpting good. Eye height 28mm
  The lady is pretty haughty looking. She wears a simple unadorned dress with waistcoat and puffy sleeves. She stands, or probably is walking slowly, with right hand on her stomach, left arm held down. Her long hair is piled up onto her head. Casting and sculpting good. Eye height 29mm
  The little girl looks a bit like Madeline, same basic outfit and hat. Eye height 21mm. Her face is maybe a little bit too rounded and her slowly walking forward pose maybe a little stilted, but she's by no means bad. I'm just trying to be a little bit fussy.
  The boy is a little larakin strolling happily along. He's taking big steps, and looks a little off to the left with wide open mouth. He wears coat, shirt, shorts, shoes and beret. He's a cute little figure with a larger than life personality. Eye height 19mm
• Hansom Cab - 2 seater, one horse, one driver, male and female passenger shown below, which are part of the set. Assembled pic
• (100TRN02) - The passengers for the above are a well to do lady and gent. The gent looks abit like Colonel Sanders of KFC fame, and sits resting his hands on a vertical cane. His attire is a plain coat, trousers and boots. The lady sits wearing a coat, and ankle length dress. She wears a ladies broad rimmed hat, with cloth tails falling down to her shoulders. Her hands are on her lap in a hand warmer. The figures are smallish, more like fine 25's, but they need to be to fit in the hansom cab. The detail on them, particularly the ladies face and upper dress, is a little muddy but considering they will be inside a rather tight space and hard to see, it's not a great tragedy.
• Alternative set of cab drivers. These are cutsie little Disney toonish style guys. They are fat little balls basically, 18mm high, with tiny pudgy arms and legs, and a head with huge chin, heavy moustache and sideburns, and a tiny head with tiny top hat. They wear long pants, tiny pointed shoes, jacket, waist coat and shirt. They are both the same pose, one standing on the ground, the other sitting as though to fit on the cab's driver seat but there isn't a chance he will. Maybe he sits on the roof. Their right arm is held out and down, the left arm held cocked at the side holding a 7' long drivers whip, which is a separate piece sitting in a hole in the left hand.
• Colonial Soldiers - essentially the same as the Limpopo figures, but to a different scale and not as bulky. It looks as though they may have been made to suit previous Ral Partha figures. Four poses are kneeling receiving (no bayonet), advancing rifle horizontal, advancing rifle at port, standing firing. Their accessories are water bottle, ammunition pouch and bayonet scabbard. No flaws. Figure height 25mm
• 'Mr Hyde' is an evil looking character, imagine a stocky Mr Hyde type with a Batman "Joker" type face with a big grin. He wears a knee length coat, trousers, boots and top hat. He stands body facing forward, right arm lifting drawing a needle thin sword from its scabbard which is held down by his left hand. The right hand and part of the sword are cast as a separate piece. The head is turned and facing over the right shoulder, probably just abit further than would be physically comfortable. Eye height 28mm, with a cast on base.
• 18-19th Century plantation peasants 1 Male (4) One stands with pole, one walking with separate cargo bundle on head, one carrying wood bundle slung over back and one carrying two sacks slung over shoulder
• 18-19th Century plantation peasants 2 Female (5) One standing leaning on separate shovel, two variants hoeing the ground, two varaints carrying covered basket of items on head
• Saloon girl (can can) - (1) Here is a simply delightful lady in a saloon dancer pose, right leg lifted slightly to shake her ruffled petticoats at the crowd to reveal her short boots and abit of leg. Her dress is low cut with the straps low on the arm. Her hair is raised in a bun on top of her head. Her face is nicely done. Sculpting and animation are simply wonderful. She has a cast on small round base.
• Saloon Girl (indian theme) - 1 variant
• Saloom Girl indian theme leaning on lamp post - 1 variant
• Saloon girl bathing in iron bath with rubber ducky (missing) - 1 variant
• Victorian police There are two police variants, though more are likely. Number one is walking slowly along, arms swinging out wide, wearing a regular uniform with bobby's hat. Facially he reminds me a bit of Prince Charles. Number 2 is more of a caricature, strolling along in a bouncy comical happy way. He's a bit more robust than the other guy, and taller. He has a chirpy but dumb comic English bobbies face. His arms are swinging bout with pinache. Overall quite nice, but if you want strict realism, maybe not spot on. Certainly they are not too caricature for regular guys to game with. They have nice character. Casting and sculpting good. Eye height 27mm & 30mm
• Thugs There are two thug variants, the first stands legs apart, arms held out to each side. He wears trousers and a coat probably just a little too tight. He wears a little cap. In his right hand is a stick of rough timber, cast separate, which fits in a hole in his hand. Number two is a caricature strongman, with an exaggerate head with large jaws. He wears trousers and coat and little bowler hat. He stands right arm down, left hand holding a large wooden club, which he holds resting across his shoulders/back. He's dragging on a cigarette. I imagine him as a cartoon strongman called Moose. Eye height 27mm

• Victorian Dancers (10) Here we have five couples (27mm) to suit a Victorian era ball. Four of the pairs come in two halves, three sets of which are interchangeable. They do not have/need bases. From the picture, the left hand man and the centre woman are the odd pair who are not interchangeable. The figures attach just below the womans left shoulder and the mans left wrist, with a small recess in the woman's skirt at ground level to accomodate the man's foot. The ladies are all very fine boned, though 2 might be a bit more middle aged looking. They all wear long skirts and have their long hair tied up. There is no expanse of cleavage or even ankles, so Jeremy should be OK with these fgures. Two hold up a hem of thier dress in their right hand, and there is something not 100% ok about the shape the flowing back down makes, but it is acceptable. The men all wear long tailed coats and only one shows a little weight. He is also bald and might well pass for a Sgt Major. The one piece pair is an officer with a Colonel Sanders look. One oddity is the belt he wears, which only appars at his back and appears to make no dint on his starched coat's shape. Picky hey :P
• 100MISC03 Grenadier guard with an electric discharge rifle and lightning shaped bayonet. 28mm eye height grenadier guard with bearskin hat. Rifle is held horizontal at stomach level. Looks good and might have some use in another *TM* game or in Pax Limpopo to take care of the pesky dinosaurs
• Naval Landing Party What I assume from my scant knowledge is a late Victorian era crew. Eye height 24mm, 4 variants. Officer in coat, trousers, long boats and peaked cap. He stands left foot forward, separate sword hand (right) and his left hand is coked up at 45 degrees with a pistol. He has a scabbard and 2 pouches on his belt, and being a good seaman, he has a short beard. He commands three troopers, all very similar in style. They wear broad rimmed hats, jacket, pants and boots with gaiters , plus the sailors shoulder coverlet, of which the technical term I can't think of. They wear a bandolier chock full of bullets across the chest and belt. On their belts hang a bayonet and a bum bag. The rifle they hold looks a bit like a Winchester. Poses are standing firing, kneeling loading (separate with rifle) and standing loading (separate hand and rifle). The loading men are drawing a bullet form their chesty bandolier while the left hand is at waist height holding the rifle up at 45 degrees. They all have the short seaman's beard. Sculpting and casting is neat.
