There are many figures scales out there for both Toy Soldiers and Historical miniature wargames figures and even different classifications within the same scale.   Thus, we want to provide you with this simple guide to the scale of our figures.   If this doesn't fully answer your questions regarding scale, please don't hesitate to contact us. 

 

 

As with all of our ranges, we label the range a "54mm" range for the sake of convenience and because we have to label it something.  However, because of the number of different companies making WWII figures, we have had more questions about the size of this particular range than all of our others.  The WWII figures are a slightly different style for us in that they are a little bit smaller than our Napoleonics and we've raised the bar on sculpting even over anything we ourselves have done previously.   The sculpting is extremely realistic and full of movement and character unlike anything even we have ever produced.   In terms of overall size, the figures range in height from about 57-60mm and are a bit more slight than our other figures.  The result, we feel, is that these figures look less like toy soldiers and much more like actual small men!!!   Please see the images below to clarify any sizing and figure compatibility issues.  Personally, we feel that our figures are best displayed with each other as they are a different size and style than what's currently available.  This is of course up to you, but we felt we should provide you with the information. 

 

 

 

 

 

First Legion's 54mm Napoleon's Europe toy soldiers are marketed or branded as "54mm", though in fact they are a bit larger than this or true "1/30th" scale.  We previously had a long text description discussing the size, however, as a picture is worth a thousand words we've removed that and replaced it with this image showing the figures next to a tape measure.   As can be seen, they are clearly taller than 54mm, with an average height of about 58mm sole to eye or 60mm from the sole to the tops of the heads.   Note, the measurement is taken from the top of the figure base.   

 

 

 

Conveniently enough, our figures are not completely dwarfed by the larger figures of say King and Country while not appearing as giants next to the smaller 54mm.    Hope that helps.   In addition, we've put the photos below to illustrate the size differences between our figures and K&C to help collectors determine for themselves how well they will fit in together. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First Legion's 40mm Napoleonic Wars historical miniatures are about 36-38mm from the sole of the figure's foot atop the figure base to the eyes.  From the bottom of the figure base to the top of the shako, using a French Voltigeur as an example, is about 44mm-45mm.   They seem to be compatible with most other 40mm figure ranges out there.
