Are the Victrix Gaul cavalry significantly larger than Victrix Gaul infantry?
This issue isn’t the end of the world. Luckily Roman armies don’t need much in the way of cavalry anyway. A sensibly sized army will include 2 or 3 units at most. If you want more then you are going to be looking at allied Numidians, Greeks or Spanish. For just a few units the price difference with metals will make less of a difference. There are plenty of choices in 28mm metal Romans that will work well with Victrix infantry. As usual it is a case of looking at all the options and not getting hysterical about what is and isn’t possible to get in plastic.

As I have said, I love the Infantry Victrix makes.. but I think I'll avoid their Cavalry. Curious to see if their dark age infantry creeps up along with their oversized cavalry.
Do they have the same issues with their Macedonian or Greek cavalry or is this just an outlier?
No, not the end of the world. Personally I always felt Roman Cavalry were not that great at their jobs
The last thing I want to be in controversial but how large a people were the ancient Numidians? There are often stark differences between peoples even today. I've spent quite a bit of time working in Asia Minor and South East Asia and the Pacific and the averages in size between peoples is significant and rather obvious.

The Numidians mounted their horses and began to ride towards the enemy's outposts without showing any aggressiveness. Nothing could at first sight look more contemptible than the appearance they presented; horses and men were alike thin and diminutive...
