They donŽt look much  attached to the sprue but with a bit of paint they become pretty usefull

How are they size wise? Similar to These (same height as Zvezda figs) or towards the HO end of the scale like Airfix figs?

I posted pics on my blog but didn't think to size them against anything.....Plastic Soldier Review put them at 24mm.

Thanks. There wasnŽt too much Flash on the sprue i got, but still a bit more than was fun and the plastic they are made of is quite soft which means if you get the angle and pressure a but wrong the wrong bits get sliced off.

Thanks for the pics, the first clear ones IŽve seen so far. :)
At PSR they also say that the Orion pirate set has an average height of 24mm but alongside the Mars set they look like children. IŽll take a comparison pic of the mars and Orion figs and post it .
