Which is more inappropriate: “Confederate Station” or “Justice Courthouse”?
Actually I have a better question: Where are these things made? If they’re made in China, Taiwan, Mexico or some other developing world country, then they basically are made with slave labor.
Chuckle. You might should have taken a page from Dave Barry’s book and prefaced this with, “I am not making this up”.

I prefer the Star Wars village. Now that is a Rebellion I can support!
What, no Mammy?! I received this advertisement in the mail too – put it right
where it belonged. Loved: “Its all waitnig for you.” It was – for my ancestors.
I’m holding out until they issue the Bread Riot action figures.
Isn’t the library itself a bit of a stretch for an “authentic” Confederate village? In addition to the auction block and slave figurines, they should add some big bales of cotton. As it is now, you’d never know the South was an agricultural society. Except for the Confederate flags, it looks more like a typical northeastern village to me.
It needs a matching train set, although purists of ferroequinology will probably want to dig out a vintage model of The General.

OMG!
I was sure this was a parody until I clicked and got connected to the Bradford website.
I sit at my keyboard trying to find something to say that encompasses this. The kitsch and disrespect are so blatant and mind-boggling that other reactions are frozen in a whirl of amazement.
I see something terribly wrong: the library actually has the 3d National flying from the flagstaff.
Obviously not authentic — there are no Black Confederates……
Does it come with free moonlights AND magnolias?
Will we have figures of a local Vigilance Committee deciding what slaves, free blacks as well as white northerners/Northern Methodists get tortured and/or lynched to “prove” the existence of another plot to incite servile insurrection/ongoing servile insurrection that only exists in the local whites’ paranoid imaginations?
Can we pay extra for the Sherman figure that doubles as a table lighter?
Oh snap!! It even lights up!!!
Where is the antebellum work force? Who does the work around that delightful looking little village?
Good lord. It’s like a fever dream of Gods and Generals, with set design by Thomas Kinkade.
I think we need to buy this village and alter its slightly. Improve on it. We could add an auction block, perhaps one where the family is being separated. We can add sound to the scene, a few heart-rendering cries, as they would say in the nineteenth-century, when a family is torn apart.
You missed the whole point. What if we have a modern day village with the agony of divorce and domestic violence? Not everything has to be steeped in reality.
I can’t wait for the Subsequent Issues. Do you suppose they’ll issue a replica Slave Quarters, complete with select free figurines of Loyal Slaves? That should be a moneymaker, as the prestige of any Plantation House is notably enhanced by multiples of such structures …
How much for the Sherman or Sheridan figures? I see some railroad tracks that need to be turned into Sherman’s Neckties….
