I just bought one of these at a local toy shop today....they only had 6 of
them on the counter mixed in w/ the adventurers raft and arctic polybag....I

I am quite pleased w/ this set...it may be the only oe I buy from the new

I have always read/seen similarly attired soldiers employed primarily as
infantry pikemen, archers, and occasionally sentries at gates....
