I would have thought that there were enough of a variety of 1:72 figures around to obviate the need for incorporating AB stuff, perhaps say, Preiser which are very good indeed.

Well...I wouldn't touch ANY of those soft plastic figures (Revell/Italeri, Airfix, etc...etc.) with a ten-foot pole! And too many of the white metal castings have over-sized heads, hands, and weapons - more like gaming figures! And if you think you can find Preiser figures anywhere, look again - they've been OOP for over ten years! I have two sets remaining of the Panzer Grenadiers jumping from the half-track which I am jealously hoarding! AB figures, if too small, appear to be decently sculpted and cast, and have individualistic poses. Although Caesar aren't bad, they still suffer from the soft plastic problem...extremely difficult/impossible to trim molding seams, occasional solid in-fill between arms and body, and, especially, misshapen helmets. I'd much rather have styrene or metal figures.
