Do JJD Vikings go well with FL Vikings? Pics? I like several from each brand.
 
FL Vikings are FL Vikings and not meant to match with any other figures other than FL figures. We have never catered to trying to match our figures to other MFR's as other companies have. In fact, nowadays, it seems more MFR's are trying to be compatible with US. All of this being said, generally speaking the figures are roughly the same size and JJD figures are pretty good and have a nice aesthetic to them, so on a table with a large display for example, no one would have issue with mixing and matching. It's only when you take one of each figure and view them up close that the differences are noticeable.

Thank you for answering! I wouldn’t expect any of the brands to purposefully blend together, but if they do it’s a plus for the collectors. I appreciate you taking the time to be the one to answer, that was very unexpected and appreciated!
 
I've got a large collection of Vikings but sadly only 3 FL figures. Probably because they are a bit dearer than other brands. The quality of FL is very good and they mix well with Brittains and Russian made figures as I have them in one diorama.

Yes the look great together. I am like you, have heaps of Vikings, especially JJD, and have 3 or 4 FL and they just pop. Will take a photo when i have stronger afternoon light
 
In pic 1 the FL guy is on furthest left with raised shield and a few arrows in the shield. In the other pics there are 2 FL and they are the vikings on the right side of bridge.

I am usually pretty picky but have my FL, JJD, and a few Russian Vikings altogether and think they look great.

JJD & FL usually blend well enough. Same is true for other manufacturers. Don't be afraid to branch out!
