figarti vs first legion (1 Viewer)

I would guess that is what motivated TCS too. So what is motivating the move to 1/28? TCS has been their for awhile and now K&C is joining the bigger is better club! W. Britains moved up to 58-60mm and if Figarti standardizes their figures at 58-60mm; that will have 3 manufacturers including First Legion making true 60mm products. Plus TCS, K&C and Thomas Gunn making 66-68mm. Looks like an even split between 58-60mm and 66-68mm groups. My question is when do the 66-68mm figure group acknowledge reality and label their products 1/28. The figures get much larger it will be 68-70mm the old Hausser-Lineol size figures. I can than use K&C figures with my excellent 1/25 scale Hausser artillery pieces!

I have asked the same question many times of both TCS and K&C. TCS contends to this day that their products are an accurate 1/30 scale and their figures are 60mm. I have the recently released George Patton figure and it measure 68mm with the base removed. The Sepp Dietrik figure with the removable base measures 69mm. The Arnhem Stug III measures 1/28 scale. TCS transitioned to 1/28 scale about when the Stug III was first released. The earlier Tiger I and Panther
circa 2008 were an accurate1/30 scale. I belive the reason for the size increase was to be compatable with the the large K&C figures. TCS has alienated customers by taking the position that TCS WWII figures and vehicles are 1/30 when many customers have measured them and proven this not to be true. The only thing a customer can do is return it if you order a 1/30 scale item and receive a 1/28 scale item. Enough returns may convince Toy Soldier manufacturers to produce what they say they are producing or change their labels to reflect reality!
