Hi there, How well do the 28-mm Perry Samurai & Koreans blend with 28-mm Clan War, 28-mm Dixon, and 28-mm Old Glory figures? I've got about 80 Clan War Samurai and plan on buying about 50 more Clan War figures to fill out my samurai infantry. However, I wanted to buy some of the Perry Samurai cavalry for one army and Dixon samurai for the other army. I just wanted people's opinions on the Perry sculpts. From the photos on their website, they seem to be gorgeous figures. Thanks,

They are significantly smaller than the clan war figure, especially the cavalry. They fit in size wise with the old glory ones but not really very well stylistically. |

Dixon, Perry and Clan War are pretty different in size and proportion. If it was me, I wouldn't mix them, but I'm somewhat picky. I'm a big fan of the Perry's Samurai and Koreans. I've got just about all of them and was painting samurai with yari just this morning. |

BTW – You can see some of my Perry samurai on my blog (click Perry Miniatures on the right), but my newer stuff looks better. nycjadie.wordpress.com |

Dixon are not 28mm, I would call them "tiny 25mm". They look like ewoks standing next to Perry samurai. I have some of both, so I can take comparison pictures for you later tonight. And yes the Perry's are really great. A bit difficult to paint due to all the details, but that is because they are top notch detailed sculpts. |

I mix Perry and OG. Most of the OG work, though some are just too animated for my taste. |

Here are some pics of Perry next to OG (and TAG): link link I've seen Clan War figures and agree with the others that they are big compared to Perry and OG. I think Kingsford miniatures run a bit larger (haven't seen them in person) and might be closer to Clan Wars in size:
kingsfordminiatures.biz One thing to note about the OG figures is the armour is a mix of eras, which may or may not be of concern for you. Chris |
