I'm looking to pick up figures for SAGA as my local group appears to be ready to start play soon.
While I like the Gripping Beast line, there are other lines; Fireforge Games, Saxon Miniatures, Wargame(s?) Foundry, that may have some particular units that I like the looks of better.

Do most of these "match up" for size? I was reading somewhere at least one manufacturer has some really nice figures, but they were significantly smaller than most other lines.

I'm sure this has been brought up before, but I didn't see anything in a quick search.

Thanks for your help…

If you like the Saxon Miniatures look for the Gripping Beast sculpts done by Colin Patten. They match perfectly. The stuff from Footsore blends very nicely as well.

I use Wargames Factory plastics, they look skinny and tall compared to GB!

Regardless of subject or scale, I find it is style that matters more than "size." 15mm Minifigs, to my eye, don't mix at all with anything else, because of the style of their poses. I still own a bunch but the height is not what makes figures "fit." YMMV
