When I have time I will try to look out the original HH figure and compare it, and possibly add some "rear" photos to the blog. I have thought for a while that probably I should do this for all figures to help with identificvation but I just can't face it, will do for specific figures on request<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/><BR/>CliveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-1010140862628008742008-10-17T11:27:00.000+01:002008-10-17T11:27:00.000+01:00I too looked at the figures on Clive's site.If the...I too looked at the figures on Clive's site.<BR/>If the Swede advancing has a pack then where are the straps? It would have to have some means of fastening around the front or at least over the shoulders. But you are right there is a blanket roll like lump above the natural shoulder line.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/>RoyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-76951948216061577822008-10-17T08:40:00.000+01:002008-10-17T08:40:00.000+01:00Thanks for that Roy - I was going by the photo on ...Thanks for that Roy - I was going by the photo on Clive's Hinton Hunter blog that appears to show a back-pack (although it is a view from the front).<BR/><BR/>IanStrykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-17357164106774470812008-10-16T23:16:00.000+01:002008-10-16T23:16:00.000+01:00Original HH Swedes do not have back packs.RoyOriginal HH Swedes do not have back packs.<BR/>RoyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-21257110944248277652008-10-16T13:59:00.000+01:002008-10-16T13:59:00.000+01:00Rafa - if I ever get as many figures as you have t...Rafa - if I ever get as many figures as you have then I will!<BR/><BR/>IanStrykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-3611516966344983392008-10-16T13:52:00.001+01:002008-10-16T13:52:00.001+01:00Are they Napoleonic?

I agree that they are certainly taken from the HH Swedish figure (SWN7) but I am curious to know who produced them and if there are other HH figures types made in the same way.
