Thank you.
The last time I saw them was years (decades?) ago, possibly at the Triples in the Octagon Centre, but I seem to recall that they were fairly big figures. Back then, most folks were using 25mm, so do they still seem big figures now (compared to more modern ranges of 28mm+)?

Sounds interesting... Happen to have any pictures of the figures? (The website doesn't).

Hi, I too don't have photos of the figures but I concur that they were "big".  I would think much bigger then even today's 28mm. Probably OK for "immortal Gods" but less OK for "mortal human" types.

Poseidon with 28mm Crusader greek

Hermes


Loki


They're on 50mm bases I think.

I'd say the models are around 40-50mm tall. Chunky and stylised. Not especially realistic, but great for gods with 28mm models for games of OGAM.
I really like them.
The "mortals" in the packs (Hercules etc.) Are the same size/scale

thank you.
I was actually looking for gods to interfere in the Trojan War, so large and "Laurence Olivier" style is ideal.
