Nice review.

I must admit I'm one of those "you can't mix them" folks, but on second thought I agree that if you paint them up the same, it shouldn't make any difference.

Hmm...

I hadn't realised how close in size the Denizen, First Corps and Hasslefree are  :o  8)

I always remembered the Denizen as being tiny - almost like the GZG 25mm.

Will have to dig out the old samples I bought last century  lol

Well, do remember the EM-4 figure has his legs splayed and the Copplestone figure is upon an integral base. ;)
