This it appears is not the newest news about , but I havent heard any mention about it in these forums . So here it is Airfix are to rerelease the entire range of multipose figures they did about 20 odd years ago. I remember these sets fondly as they are awesome in their detail and the scope for mix and match combinations is great. The facial detail is brilliant in these figures , the snag is they are 1/32 scale so they are limited use Im afraid.
I still cant wait tho and plan on buying a crate load.

I’ve still got a couple of sets, one is the British 8th Army Desert Rats and the other is the US Army European theater set. Nice figures to go with my Airfix M3 Lee and M3 Grant.
It’s been a long time since I saw those set, but you may be able to mix’n’match with 1/35th scale figures. Remember not all people are the same size
The problem with mixing them with other brands would involve the equipment, rifles, canteens, webgear, helmets, etc. As long as you are careful to keep these constant, you could get away with it. Of course, many of the other figures will have much weaker detail.
