Title: Copplestone and Crucible Crush Chinese bandits
Post by: Sir Rodney Ffing on September 13, 2017, 12:34:14 PM: I want to add to my Copplestone Chinese bandit band for more variety and was wondering how well the Crucible Crush Yangzee Gangs match them for height and proportion. Yes, I know humans come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but I try to avoid putting figures that obviously come from different manufacturers together on the table because I am a sensitive chap and it jars!

I am sure this is well trodden ground for the old BoB hands out there, and it would be much appreciated if someone could post a photo of the two makes together for comparison.

Many thanks.

I don't have any in my collection, but I've heard they mix fine (here's a link with some: http://www.backofbeyond.de/?p=1021 (http://www.backofbeyond.de/?p=1021))
