On the PSR site these look considerably smaller than the Italeri & Hat figures in the Figure Size Comparison section. However, in the review the figures are rated at the correct size/height. Anyone have these and are they smaller?? Thanks! |

It does say they are 22mm compared to 23mm or 24mm. But I would think you could probably mix them in to increase the variety in the units. |

Very likely they are. Their larger scale figures are 1/35th scale as opposed to 1/32nd, so smaller than most other 54mm. |

They are. But like any scale differences that aren't too extreme, keep them in their own units & put them on slightly thicker bases & no-one will notice. They're nice figures & paint-up well. |

Mine are a mix of Esci/ Italeri and ACTA, and I can't tell which are which. I don't have any HaT Zulus yet.

I've just got boxes of Call to arms and HAT, the scale is marginally different but not outside the realms of what you'd expect in real life. The advantage of mixing is found within the shield size differences, by the time of the zulu war the smaller shields were in abundance but larger shaka-era shields were still the mainstay defence of older regiments. If you don't mind adding a few greenstuff feathers to some of the larger shield figures you can accurately portray both married and unmarried regts in the same box. Ry |

I just received a box of these recently and they look fine next to the Italeri and HaT figures. |
