I'm going to order several boxes of the recently released Caesar sets soon. Height-wise (as stated by PSR) they seem to mix very well with my Esci, Revell & Italeri DAK figures. The named sets offer already many rifle, heavy weapon & other poses. To be honest, I like the new Caesar set for the excellent sculpting & anatomy (as usual) and especially for just that reason: the many "action" & advancing poses, because the other sets contain a lot of non combat poses already (the water drinking guy from the -otherwise excellent- Revell set comes immediately to mind). Therefore the Caesar figures are an highly welcomed addition for my Panzergruppe Afrika.
That's were the new Caesar italians will serve as well, together with many of their Waterloo 1815 comrades.
The italian, commando & 2nd US sets look very promising as well. Good size, 12 poses each, fine details on uniform & gear, excellent poses & anatomy, good choice of weapons, authentic & well animated actions and the best is that they're quite a bargain here (considering the given quality) imho.
