The first and most important is that these are civil figures in my timeline.

How did you determine this?
I don't see civilians. I even don't see a humans. I see humanoid-like pieces of plastic with NON-humanoid faces:
your opinion is not so far way of mine. Maybe you are right.
I will (if they will find the way to me finally) compare it with three Airfix figures I own that you show us.
If you compare Hegemony figures with Airfix figures.
This is Hegemony his third or fourth set.

Old Airfix looks better... But remember: FIFTY SEVEN YEARS passed!!!
Airfix first figure sets are replaced back in time by Airfix.

Anybody heard about "technical progress"? Forget! Now we have a "technical degradation".
And Airfix latest set 01736 British WWII Infantry made in 2011.
Plastic Soldier Review wrote about it:
... Where we were disappointed - very disappointed - was in the general look of these figures, which are thin and weedy with poorly sculpted weapons. For a better example of how these troops actually appeared Airfix need do no more than look at their own 1/32 sets, and indeed in many ways a scaled-down version of them would have been preferable - can you imagine that? Perhaps expectations were too high - it has after all been a generation since they last sculpted figures, and the economics and realities of manufacturing today are very different from the 1980s, but there are plenty of great sets being made these days, and while like most people we desperately wanted the new Airfix to be up to their best standards they simply are not. ...
I feel not to be the defender of the Hegemony figure sets.
They fit in my timeline of modelling. I see a clear improvement to there first and second set.
I give Hegemony a try.
