New Romans and Barbarians from TSSD


Enjoying the new Romans and Barbarians from TSSD.  I've also thrown in a couple Conte figures and some of the Call to Arms Romans from several years back.  The Barbarians turned out amazing.  These guys are SCARY looking!  Nick has told me that more figures are on the way, and they are going to turn out even better than this first round.  Awesome.

Beau, how do these figures match up with the Conte guys? Are they taller or perfect matches? 'Been trying to find out before I went in big on these guys. Tho as nice as they look I'll probably go for them anyway. I've put them on my Christmas wish list with the Mama.

Hey Wayne,

That seems to be the big question about this set. I haven't really taken a long hard look, because I'm not real picky when it comes to size. I know that the TSSD Romans outstrip the Call to Arms Romans by a bit, so you have to work with the camera some to make sure that isn't noticable. But the Conte figures stand up real nice with them. Since both figures are "full-bodied", any height difference is negated.

Beau, thanks. I know there are two different sizes now to what we call 1/32 scale; the "traditional" Marx, Accurate, ACTA figures and the newer, larger "Full-bodied" figures of conte, TSSD, and your guys among others. I always figured these guys would fall into the latter category, but when I heard they were between 62 and 65mm I began to get a bit worried as then they would even dwarf my 60mm guys. I'm really itching to get these guys and as I've said, they're on my Christmas wishlist. Any info is appreciated. Thanks again, buddy.
