I Have Seen On Ebay Uk That There Have Been A Few Ats Figures For Sale. They Look Really Nice. My Question Is How Close Or How Well Would They Go With Trophy Figures. Especially In A Big Display. I Found Their Website And They Have Alot Of Cool Items. Can Anybody Enlighten Me?
 
Yes, I should think they would work very nicely together. They are very similar in size/style to Little Legion figures which go very nicely with Trophy. He does have a great menu to choose from as well and it sounds as though he is willing to take requests on specific items in some cases. Also then consider adding Little Legion to your display. You might find both ATS and LL are just a shade taller and leaner than your average Trophy figure but not to a problematic degree.

To me Alexander's infantry figures are slightly taller than Little Legion's or Trophy's. But I do display them all together and they look fine. I find the cherry on Alexander's cake comes from the mounted figures: they are fantastic and I am collecting them. Little Legion's infantry, for my taste looks just a little better than Alexander's. I'm talking Napoleonics, of course... But all those Napoleonic ranges can complement each other, none of them has everything.
 
I've only seen Alexanders figures from their website so you can take this with three grains of salt as you can't always get a good read from photos but, based on what I've seen, I prefer the Trophy and Little Legion figures (the faces seem better).
 
Thanks For The Input Guys, I See They A Mtd Gen Friant Which Looks Great As Well As Some Artillery Carriages Which Would Compliment My Waterloo Display Which Has About 1300 Figures. Now If I Could Only Figure Out How To Post Pictures You Could All Share The Joy I Get Out Of My Display.
 
For my taste, the Alexanders mounted figures are second to none, and I mean gloss or matte;)
 
I bought the highland dancers and officer from the waterloo series,
to be honest I thought they where just ok . I wouldnt personally
buy any others without seeing them first hand [I,ve never seen their
mounted figures] I much prefer little legions foot soldiers to Alexanders.
 
Aside from those listed at David Hazell's superb toysoldierstore,there are a number listed on eBayuk as of 26th,28th-some of the photos are too dark but the French Line Grenadiers,the Enniskillings & the Bavarian Officer are well-lit and not over fuzzy.I've only a couple myself a Captain Kid & a 60th R.A.R. loading-the puckish expression on his face as he reaches into his cartridge box is exquisitely painted,handsomely English and gives me the impression that he's bemusedly eyeing his next target(I try not to stand under his gaze)Regretably no cavalry.
