New Redbox
















These are some pre-production Redbox Americans from the Boxer Rebellion. Final product may vary from this which is typical for pre-production sets.
















Redbox are just now releasing the first of their new series of Boxer Rebellion figures. Here are some secret sneak previews of one of the two American sets. The Boxers made war against all foreigners in China and all Christian Chinese. The great powers of Europe, and Japan, and the USA all sent troops there to put down the uprising. The Chinese Empress sided with both the Boxers and the foreign troops at different times. Redbox have promised a complete range of figures for this conflict and these are some of the first.

















These American troops can be used for the Philippine Insurrection as well. Redbox is a rather new company and their figures lack some of the detail and refinements of other, more established companies. The set has mostly riflemen with one officer with a pistol. The poses are good and the butterscotch color a good one. There was very little flash on any but one of the figures. I certainly intend to get at least a couple of each of the sets and probably several of the American sets. Finally a use for my Orion Boxers!
