No pictures sorry, but they are quite large, I have some Iron Brigade and Berdan's Sharpshooter figures in my stash and they fit well with Redoubt.

I have some, but can only match them up against redoubt and adventure time miniatures ACW range (Mark Fenlon sculpts)
They are much larger than Foundry, old glory and Perry metals and plastics, particularly width of shoulders, weapons and facial features.

The very few 1
st
corps figures I have in my ACW collection are in part with Old Glory/Sash & Sabers for poses and general style, with Redoubt for bulkiness and with Dixon for the large heads and hands…

To be fair it is a bit of a complicated range to judge - the first figures were not excessively big, and had some lovely poses - I suspect they would work well enough with some of the other ranges mentioned… if a bit more raggedy and dynamic…
As the range grew so did the figures - the Berdan's, the US Marines are two that spring to mind as having been at the Baby Bio and Growth Hormones.
The cavalry are very neat - and the horses mix quite nicely with for example Foremost or Connoisseur ! (I used to know a lad who pronounced that "Kon-oy-ser" - didn't get out much!)
The tough bit is working out which were the early figures! The lower code numbers I think and the bog standard units not the specialist ones.
Oh and the gun team was something pretty exceptional - although not as dynamic as the superb Perry ones!
Hope that helps...

i'm back with a comparison scale pictures from my own.
I have just received my 1st Corps order last week.
Here is a sample : From Left to right :
1st corps' ACW confederate cav officer
Redoubt's engineers (painted as old west convict)
Perry's Cape war officer (painted as US dismounted officer)
1st corps' ACW confederate cav trooper
those ones are quite good for being mixed, i think
hope that could be helpful
cheers
