Forces of Valor American Civil War Union - Set #23206

Here we have another set of FOV's awesome American Civil War figures. As I no longer have the packaging it's been rather hit-or-miss in finding the item/set numbers for these. The Forces of Valor website doesn't list out of production items and relying on Amazon.com or eBay isn't always successful BUT I did manage to find out the set # featured here today. Everyone Enjoy! Fritz and Bettina!

A mounted Cavalry officer, two infantrymen, a cannon, and two ammo chests comprise the set.

I believe this is the single finest Civil War cannon produced for the market at this price range. These sets used to sell for around $10- $15 (if my memory serves me right). In comparison, a single limited edition figure from, let' say, King & Country, or Wm. Britains might set you back ca$30!













Here's few comparison shots showing the venerable Marx Civil War cannon next to the FOV cannon

  1. Hi folks. I am hunting for the 2 Iron Brigade figures from 2006. They came in window-box, with Cavalryman and 2 infantry, AND 1 running Officer w/kepi hat, pointing pistol, marked Unimax on base. Looking for Officer also. If anyone has for sale, let me know.

    1. Are you on facebook? There are a bunch of groups that cater to plastic (and metal) military figures. Perhaps someone there would have what you're looking for? Look for 'Army Man Homepage', 'Military Toys from our Youth', 'Bunker Talk with Bunkermeister, and there are others.
