Goblin compatability

  • VS
    Hello all, just asking for help for a future project.
    Does anyone have a picture, or even information on the compatability of the "riders" in the Goblin box and the new Horses box?
    Thank you in advance.

    @Vitor Soares I bought a sprue of the horses and a sprue of the goblins.. at the same time... but assembled them all and not together... so no. I have no idea how well they would fit.

    I would suggest if you are concerned. Buy a sprue of each before you commit. @Lord Marcus has a shop and has both of those sprues. mcdougall designs sprues

    Don't have the horses, but I can give you some measurements on the hobbos.

    First things first, there are two torsos and two pairs of legs and you can NOT mix&match them out of the box. One of them has samurai-like faulds on the torso, the other has some scrappy metal bits strapped to one thigh. You could probably trim off these faulds and swap the bodies, but I didn't try.

    The cutouts for the horse bodies are basically trapezoidal. They are 6-7mm deep, 13mm wide at the heels, and taper to 8-9mm wide at the seat. There is a bunch of bangles and baubles and armor and pant seams and straps and joints making these lines a little bumpy.

    The guy with the samurai faulds can stand on his own without a base and has a reasonably naturally sculpted pants seat, with not a whole lot of contact area to the saddle - roughly 2.5mm back to front, in a bit of a triangle (knees out front instead of splayed straight to the side). The other guy has skirt curtains hanging down front and back, forming a big flat seat area about 7mm long front to back. The front skirt is 4mm wide, the back skirt 6mm.

    @Blutze Thanks, you were really helpful. I can work with those measures.

    @William Redford I know the shop, and it sounds like a good ideia, but I live in Portugal, and the posting charges alone would make it almost better to buy the boxes. Also your idea, in theory, would be the best thing to do.

    You live in Portugal. Well I am jealous. Maryland seems smaller and somehow lesser now. :) But Seriously though... Yeah no, I really am jealous.

    @William Redford I have been to Maryland, and I liked it. Living in Portugal is very nice, except in what our hobby is concerned. 
    If you are curious, I am originally from the Alentejo region, but currently live in the Azores.
    Both are diferent kinds of paradises, both take for ever to get a package with miniatures (at least three months in the Azores, seriously).
    Come visit, great food, great wine, great beaches and loads of history. And fairly cheap.
