How well do they match up? Anyone have a side by side picture? Are they at all compatible? I picked some up at the end of last during the Tin Man sale and was looking to add some more variety. |

Bronze Age Martians are bulker and taller. Tin Man Martians are shorter and not as bulky. Physically the Tim Man martins are closer match to Burroughs's descriptions but are lacking height wise. It really is a personal choice, but they will not match up if used together. I have both but have not yet decided which I will be using. |

Cool. Thanks for the info. I have the Tin Man ones, but the Bronze age ones are tempting. I though of maybe using them for a different Green martian Tribe or something. |

I heartily endorse Bronze Age Miniatures; I've used them for many John Carter games & the company's owner, Mr. David Soderquist, is the best of the many wargame figure dealers with whom I've done business. |

I went to the Tin Man site out of curiosity, having some interest in the Green Men. Their "not John Carter" is named Jack Carson. Jack Carson was a well known Hollywood actor in the '40's. |
