Has anyone had a chance to compare these two ranges yet? Are the Curteys figures on the slim side like the GBs are or are they a bit 'chunkier' like the Musketeer ones are? Also, are they a match height-wise?

Yes, I have figures from all three the ranges and they are a very good match for both Gripping Beast and Musketeer.
I've never thought of the GB figures as much slimmer than Musketeer however so YMMV.
The height is almost exactly the same as GB and Musketeer and I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the same unit.

Keep an eye on my blog. I will hopefully have some comparison photos up in the next few days….

That's great, Cerdic; just what I was looking for. The Curteys figure looks slightly shorter than the GB metal, and the GB plastic looks shorter than them both!

The Newline figure looks quite slim to me; perhaps a good match up with the GB metals? I quite like the look of him.

That Redoubt chap looks like something from Noggin the Nog!

Really great photo comparisons with some of the "lesser knowns" included. Definitely bookmarking this!
