On size,the two anarcho guy pack from north star lines up fine with Anglian, they're only slightly chunkier. If that helps.

Tempting....

Very nice figures!

I have the earlier anarchists released by Northstar and they are superb. 1mm shorter than the Copplestones but they are mixing well with Copplestones RCW, noone can say that there is any difference.
Sorry, I do not have any Anglian to make any comparison.

We just voted and we collectively like them.

We also voted to condemn recent actions by the Adventuring Forum of Lead for splitting the movement's Solidarity. Also I have been forced out of office.

Sorry folks. See you under a new registration.  :-[

Many, manythanks for briunging this to my attention.

I didn't realize that the two Anarchist figures were limited editions.  So just ordered those along the 12-man squad.  :)

If they mix well with Anglian I'll be a bit poorer in a minute...
These are also 'limited editions' with only 250 made of each, so I better hurry.

BTW The two Anarchists are very compatible with Anglian so there's no reason to suspect these aren't.

They look fine... but I'm always dubious when I see the words 'Limited Edition' on anything.  :?

I know what you mean.  But in the case of the "Anarchists" they are not Ltd Ed prices.  It was only the comment on TMP - "only 20 left" that forced my hand.  And if they were produced again in the future I don't think it's a problem.

What I find annoying is when you pay well over the odds for a limited edition - or have to spend a small fortune on something else to obtain it - only to find sometime later that due to "popular demand" the figure company has re-released it.   :-[

I'm interested to see the 32 variations of the figures.

Sadly this release now means I have to put my EPR figures on hold, some advance warning might have helped, I could have got Paul to sculpt the mortars and crews instead of the EPR figures  :(

Doesn't really matter Nigel.
The Spanish Civil War is one of those wars where you can never have enough different figures for.

These are International Brigade or militia and yours are long awaited 'regular' EPR.
Quite different in fact and very welcome!

No man , i´m a big fanboy of Anglian, like many others here , your figures are the best in SCW, and one of the best in the market in general.
Please, no.  :) :) :)

I'll chuck the EPR stuff in the next mould anyway, there's space for them, so I might as well use it.

Nick has done the Northstar figures for a big SCW game he;s putting on around a few shows next year, sounds like its going to be a good one too. :D

Saya, are you buying Anglian figures from Spain or the USA?
