Great to find that Ral Partha figures are still available – it means I can reinforce my 25mm armies without having to resort to 30mm + giants!

Wow they look like mini humans instead of cartoon characters. I had forgotten how good Ral Partha were/are

IMHO,I think they are great figures, but now they are on the small side! Mike Adams

Great looking stuff for sure.

They really are good figures and beautifully proportioned. But yes they are definitely on the small side compared to today's cartoon characters.

smacdowall; Boy your bring back memoirs with those figures. I marched across a lot of tabletops with most of those same mini's!

The Ral Partha "hypaspist" is one of the best phalangite models ever made. IMO few if any model companies have created anything as good in the cartoon world of the 28mm jumbo figure world.

I still use them alongside my newer figures… I have them on thicker bases… so they can stay eye to eye with the brutish 28mm giants.

Here I needed them to fill out my line for a large game representing Panion… so I kept them on the hill :)
