Hi guys,

Looks like Wargames Foundry has the best range of Mexican Villagers I have seen  - would like to buy  BUT....

Need advice as to how they will look as compared to Knuckleduster and Dixon figures.  Anyone have the Wargames Foundry Mexicans?  What do you think?

Is there any other manufacturers that have any Mexican Villagers?  The peaceful kind - not the kind Trump (argh!) wants to wall out (LOL);  Looking for male and female castings without weapons in hand.

Thanks,

Frank

Which Knuckleduster figures?

Older hand-sculpts were much more original 25mm, with the later digital stuff being 28 and 32mm, so varying quite a bit.

All knuckleduster figs bought recently - but only a few noted as digital design when I bought them.  All were advertised as 28mm.

Hi,

The Foundry scultps are closer to 25mm than most current figures, so will match up ok with Dixon. I don't own any Knuckleduster figures so can't comment on those.

You can get around the height difference by slipping a spacer under the figures base before you mount it to give it a bit of lift.

In these picture you can see Foundry Peons mixing with all sorts of different manufacturers





PS can you remove the statement about Trump from your thread, we don't encourage any political discussion here, whether in jest or not.

If it matters you can pretend all of the Mexicans are from Oaxaca...they're notoriously comically short.

The Old Glory Mexicans are some of their best ranges IMHO and I use them together with Foundry, Pulp, Dixon among others:

Thanks Malamute! 

Elbows - LOL - sounds like a good plan!

Traveller - thanks for the link - but am looking more for family size not a whole village.

I have Foundry mixed with Dixon, Pulp, Deperado, & Knuckleduster, Plus a few Old Glory & others too. They look good together. The more you mix, the better the mix looks.
