Added this to my office today.

I am not sure what to think of it. It will look good on top of my book case

It's campy but fun. Like they are assaulting a distillery with no cover charge

Thought an element of realism is lost by showing these figurines (Georgians, judging by the flag) dressed in standardized identical uniforms and displaying the same wide open facial expressions.

That's also an interesting-looking sidearm carried by the leader (presumably an officer).

(Nevertheless, realize these figurines are best appreciated in a lighthearted way).

They look kind of silly if I'm being honest, especially because they're all making that same face What are the figurines made out of?

They are ceramics and sold as fun figurines and not a serious study of Civil War uniforms. That said, I have seen much worse ceramic figurines.

 

[Yuna]

Oh okay, I'm glad they're just for fun because otherwise I definitely couldn't take them seriously. Now I'm curious about what the worse figurines look like...

This set is among the worse. I see them in antique stores.thr black uniform with of white cape and entire brass belt.

My wife at a thrift store pointed these at a thrift store for a dollar each. The are so bad I had to purchase them.

Can you tell which regiment it is from that flag?

Probably only the state, but not not the regiment.

I remember seeing those pretty commonly about 30 years ago when Civil War tchotchkes were a fad. Resin, quite often and made in China. Facial expressions were often most distressing.

Here is one my uncle made in the 1950's, it's supposedly to be Jeff Davis.

YYYYY-Em-C-Aye, it's fun to go to the YMCA. Don't know why this reminded me of that. Might be one of those tchotchkes best left at a distance from the eye, like you said, on the bookshelf. Up high.
