I have reviewed this figure elsewhere but want here to offer a few comments.
This is a very good figure - I hope Gladiator will continue to expand their Napoleonic line, as they show real promise. The pose here is a bit odd but seems martial enough to pass for an attacking march. The detail is very good, especially the face. The jutting chin gives the figure some real character close up. Hardly important on the game table I suppose, but it makes spending a few evenings painting up a regiment more enjoyable!
The uniform and equipment detail is outstanding, and of the kind I like - understated. Webbing and cuff flaps are raised, but just barely. This makes them easy to paint without having them look like the poor grunt is wearing 6” cables. There is nice detail on the shako and musket, and unlike many others, this fusilier carries a canteen.
Another pleasant surprise is the detail in the footwear. The leggings are nicely detailed and the feet are about the right size (for some reason, many sculptors give their soldiers feet the size of my sister).
I look forward to future releases from Gladiator.
