Dou you guys know if these figures by Preiser are sold in kit form or assembled? If they are kits, there's a good conversion potential in them...

Yes, i know the academic figures, but what puzzles me is that, while the academic ones are always shown in their kit form in catalogues, etc., i've only seen the "assembled version" of the Prussian infantry sets.
They are not multipose in the strictest sense.
The basic bodys and arms, weapons with hands and heads are given. However they come with a ton of equipment for example, fusilier and grenadier caps and tricornes, even gorgets. I have all 3 1:24 sets and have seen the 1:32 sets. I've always wondered why they are not more popular.
The basic anatomy is good and sound, the masters being made by Puchala.
The plastic is about Historex/ Old Airfix quality, easy to work with.
The only gripe I have is that in the mould making process many details were obliterated where the moulds meet. Nevertheless with resharpening and adding seperate buttons and some minor work they are good as a base for all european armies of the later 18th century.
Of course they can be converted to anything else, too.
