Collector's Showcase question? (1 Viewer)

[ExRanger]

In need of some input.
How do the CS figures mix with the K&C figures? I'm thinking of getting some of the Fallschirmjager/SS to add to K&C Waffen SS figures. Will the go well with each other? Any picture comparisons?
Thanks to all.

Haven't got any comparison photos, but having seen them, I'd say no probs with compatability. They are fine scale wise. The colours are slightly more subdued on the CS figures IMO, but not significantly enough to make it an issue. The MG42 team in particular, is a class piece.

It depends on the sets I have the CS tank jumpers and they are larger scale then the king & country Waffen SS figures that I also have . The CS Panzer IV is larger than the K & C Panzer IV .

IMO they dont mix they are a little bit bigger than K+C,but just MO.

The CS figures look great but are clearly bigger than K&C. The base of the CS figures are much larger and they look a little awkward when shown with K&C.

Plus ive always reckoned TCS figures hands are to big.................^&confuse again just MO.

No problem here.
Did think of adding TGM figures at some point. Any other comparision photos of TGM and K&C figures? Thanks.

I think using the pieper set to show compatibility with K&C is not the best set to do this. some of the fighting troop sets are more compatible, these sets have the rather large they are bigger but, the sculpts and paint style are so different its better to keep them in their own range.

I think only TG fit with KC. I like the variation I am not so sure about large hands as they fit their own range other figures have small hands guns to big etc etc. Each of the main manufacturers have their own distinct style its upto the collector to mix or not. They will all work with each other if you only want a big war display and don't care about the style difference or size (and I know a good few who don't)

These are some guys I had in mind.

I am of the opinion that the CS figures appear to have larger than proportionate
hands. In addition the faces seem to be the wrong flesh color tone. Remember we are dealing with fair complexion germans,not troops from south america !

ExRanger, I have that set in your pic and like it very much. Very dynamic poses. I think they go well with KC and TGM. The best set, like Wraith said, is the FJ mg 42 team. You won't regret getting that one. I have only 3-soldier sets from CS and they all seem be smiling. What a happy bunch they are. BTW CS soldiers have great small arm sculpts, rifles, MG etc.

One can always play with a scenic base and force perspective. Not everyone has to be the same size either. Clearly the bases are a bit bigger hence the remark about the scenic base. One other note the heavier base will be a little better (more stable) on the grass mats.
