Are all the CS WWII figures compatible? The site seems to say some are 1/30 and some are 1/28?
 
Brian said it was a boo boo. Or so I thought. Sure do like the 14th Brooklyn. Thank you Brian!

Depends what range you are looking at? The earlier releases are not , but the latest releases like arnhem are.
 
Having seen the different sets in person, I would definitely say NO, they are not compatible. Thats a pretty noticable boo boo.

When we started out we created figures in the wildly unpopular scale of 1/28th. Most collectors of WWII toy soldiers were quite dismayed at the scale difference between our first release and available products in the marketplace at the time. Needless to say we got quite a bit of negative feedback.



Since then we've created a true 60mm figures or 1/30th scale figure. These new scaled pieces have been embraced by the collecting community and we find ourselves just about sold out of these first truly limited edition pieces ( Arnhem to be specific ).



Unlike other companies in the market we will not change our scale, that is make our pieces a bit smaller here and a bit larger there just to compel collectors to buy new sets. This sort of " planned obselecence " I think is tragic. Instead we will consistantly limit our runs to 300-400 pieces, and use imagination and innovation to stay keenly competitive.



On another note I am taking great pains to ensure all of our ancillary equiptment such as armor and sp guns are perfectly scaled to our 60mm sets. Keep in mind that our armor is made from scratch, that means from the ground up. We certainly don't borrow from off the shelf kits or canabilize old models. We design, prototype and manufacture completely original product. Our products are made to fit well in one large family of products scaled correctly to the collectors needs. Our newest release: Arnhem is the archetype of that scale. Purchasers of our MarketGarden sets will never need to fear reductions in scale or any other deviation to simply enhance sales.

Can't wait for the next round of Arhnem stuff
Would love a British 17 pounder with crew & a mortar team
 
No, they are closer to 1/24th scale, way too large to work with K & C.......
