Dixon Miniatures Dahomey Wars figures

[Bullshott]

Does anyone have any pictures of the French Tirailleurs from Dixon's Dahomey Wars? There isn't a picture on the Dixon website and I would like to see what they look like before ordering some.

Thanks guys. Its a real pity that each of the Tirailleurs packs only have one pose and that they are such small figures (I have the Dahomey marching warriors in the same pose, so was able to check the size against my other figures). Can anyone recommend any other manufacturer for Tirailleurs (needed to be compatible with standard 'non-heroic' 28mm)?

Askari miniatures do them , not sure if they will mix with Dixons , also Foundary  in their Franco-Prussian range, again not sure if they will match .

Oops ! I'm sorry, Bullshot, I didn't see you want a pic of the tirailleurs ( I like post the Jolly Bob's photo though)

About the Askari tirailleurs, Here it is an intersting comparison thanks to WillBaylie :

Well that's weird and flattering all at the same time, having someone else post your pictures. 

But yes, unfortunately the Tirailleurs were one of the packs I didn't get, sorry.
