In this pose the figures are 25mm from foot to eye, if standing at attention they would be approx. 28mm.

I bought a 4 figure bag ($7.99/£3.20) of French Marines (FL5). These figures will work best with Old Glory’s Boxer Rebellion line. Unfortunately, these are the only French Marines Dixon offers. The four marines are advancing, well posed with great faces. Their equipment includes haversack, canteen, ammo pouch and bayonet.

The figures from left to right
1 Clean-shaven, bayonet, looking to right.
2 Rolled blanket over right shoulder, goatee, no bayonet.
3 Long square beard, bayonet.
4 Reaching for bullet, no bayonet, looking to right.

There is some minor flash on the rifle/bayonet ends, but that’s it. Overall, I am impressed with these figures, except for their boots, they are perhaps the worst looking boots I have seen in a long time.
