I'd like to see how well they match up for a huge Impi. If anyone has a comparison pic I would be grateful to see it.
Anyone have a comparison pic of ACTA, AIP and Conte Zulus? (1 Viewer)

I have a box of AIP and some ACTA figures somewhere but no Conte. If no one else posts all 3, I will look for what I have.
I seem to remember the ACTA were smaller and had those pesky shields to glue on but they were very nice figures. I just left the brown plastic as the skin color.

I originally got the Conte Zulu's and tried to mix the ACTA with them, but IMO they are way too small. Shorter, thinner and just too much like 50 mm, particularly the crouching poses. The same goes for the ACTA 24th foot. AIP match perfectly with Conte, you mix them together and can't tell the difference. Biggest plus is AIP have the shields and weapons attached, no need for glue. Conte weapons are a little tricky to attach especially the shields. One pose needs both arms attached and the fit will take some strong glue but should hold. I for one hate plug arms unless the fit is snug. The old Britains civil war were great but Conte plug in arms are hit and miss. I am hoping AIP does another set of Zulu's as previously announced but everything with AIP now is up in the air. With AIP and Conte your Impi will have 24 total poses, not bad. Plus the "clump" of dead Zulu's if you so desire. One thing I would love is a few more Zulu poses with rifles, Conte only has one, AIP none. As has been the case for the last few years we will simply have to wait and see. Waiting. Waiting. I'm sick of waiting! I think I'll make my own **** figures. Just need about $500,000 in start up capital.
