Are Essex and Minifigs 25mm Napoleonics Compatible in Size and Heft?

Hi folks.

Are Essex and Minifigs 25mm Napoleonics compatible in size and heft?

I am looking at putting in an order with Essex, but I also have a few single figure gaps in my 25mm Minifigs Napoleonics. I was wondering if I could fill out two projects with just one lot of international postage.

As to the gaps, I am one rider short of a full brigade of Minifigs Russian cuirassiers, one model short for each of two cossack regiments, and am missing some horses for some of my Prussian light cavalry.

Thanks in advance!

No.

Essex nicer, larger & solid.
Minifigs much bigger range.

I no longer have any of either but assuming you mean the Minifigs range from the 1970s then from memory (a) Essex are bigger and bulkier and (b) the two ranges are very different stylistically. I wouldn't mix them in the same unit.

Thanks for the good advice! Looks like I will need to do a separate order to Minifigs.
