The photo above compares three metal miniatures from Garrison / Greenwood & Ball (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 plastic figures come from two sets:
B: 8017 “Republican Romans, Princeps and Triari”
D: 8018 “Republican Romans, Hastati and Velites”
Both of these boxes contain 48 figures in 8 poses.
Figure Characteristics:
8017 Height (measured from sole of foot to eyes): 20mm.
8018 Height (measured from sole of foot to eyes): 20mm.
Availability:
These boxes are currently available from HaT, and can be found at hobby shops and online retailers.
Notes on the Samples:
The HaT figures were donated by Liam Sullivan.
