Figure Characteristics:

Height (measured from sole of foot to eyes): 23mm.
Height (measured from sole of foot to top of head): 26mm.

Notes on the Samples:

The Saxon figure was kindly provided by Rob Young at Garrison.

THE PLASTIC FIGURES

Manufacturer’s Designation and Number of Poses:

The plastic figures come from set 6006 “Saxons.” HaT experimented with a reduced size set when this was released, so the box contains just 24 figures in 4 poses. They are part of a substantial commitment to the early middle age on the part of HaT.

Figure Characteristics:

Height (measured from sole of foot to eyes): 21mm.
Height (measured from sole of foot to top of head): 22mm.

Availability:

Although this is one of the earlier releases from HaT, figures and boxes can still be found at hobby shops and online retailers.

Notes on the Samples:

The HaT samples were kindly donated by Liam Sullivan.
