Hi folks. I'm wondering what other makers of 15mm WW1 figures go best with Peter Pig models. I'm specifically interested in mid to late war French and Germans. I love the Pig lines, just looking for what my expansion options are. Thanks!

QRF matches up pretty well in my experience.

Battlefront is about the same height but a bit chunkier in build.
The style is a bit comic book but they look very animated when painted up.

Minifigs have a wide range of both French and Germans. The poses are more limited but they will add variety.

Here's a photo comparing Minifig, Peter Pig and Irregular. They're Russians, to be sure, but WWI. Irregular are often an overlooked source. That said, my Russian WWI are all Peter Pig (and very happy with them them) except for a command staff car for the general from Irregular. And although I am usually partial to Irregular, the flash and lack of detail on the figures and car was pretty bad.

That said, the Irregular Russian rifleman above looks quite good!

Thanks very much for all this guys, it gives me a lot to think about!

Those are PP Russians from some years ago. They are not those produced nowadays. The current PP Russians are those on the PP website. There are Quite a few websites that show old PP figures as comparisons. extra Crispy has old ones as ACW comparisons (apologies if they have been updated Mark!). I certainly don't mind out of production PP figures being used as comparators, but I would prefer they add the note "these are old PP figures and not the ones they make now". This would help viewers recognise what they are being shown.

thanks

Thanks for chiming in Martin, I'll take that in to account.

Out of curiosity, are there plans to expand the late war German and British lines to the extent of the late war French? That is a really fantastic line.

I have used QRF and even some Essex WWII figures painted for WWI and they fit fine for me.
