The photo above compares three metal Romans from Garrison (A,C,E) with a pair of plastic figures from HaT (B,D). Click on the image for a larger version.
THE METAL FIGURES
Manufacturer’s Designation and Number of Poses:
I believe that the metal figures come from Garrison’s “20mm Ancients” range, and were previously produced under the Greenwood & Ball name. Within the Ancients range, Garrison currently offers 23 different poses for 1st Century Imperial Romans. However, the poses shown in this image do not seem to be currently in production.
Figure Characteristics:
Height (measured from sole of foot to eyes): 21mm.
Availability and Cost:
As mentioned, these figures are not available from the manufacturer at the present time. However, other Roman figures are in production, and can be purchased from Garrison directly. Foot figures are sold for £0.60 each, while mounted figures cost £1.50
THE PLASTIC FIGURES
Manufacturer’s Designation and Number of Poses:
The HaT figures come from box 8087 “Late Roman Heavy Infantry.” This box includes 40 figures in 8 poses.
Figure Characteristics:
Height (measured from sole of foot to eyes): 21mm.
Availability and Cost:
This set is currently in production at HaT, and available through online and local hobby shops. Sample cost: $7.50 (US) at Toy Soldier HQ.
Notes on the Samples:
The sample figures were kindly provided by the manufacturer.
