I got my Thebans from them years ago at that clearance price. Sure beats regular $5.49 price. I got 10 packs of Hoplites in linen cuirass off ebay for £20 .  |

That figure on the right is one of the middle year codes - ANC20057 - Persian Levies in Median Dress. That is distressing news..... that means there is severe scale-creep within the EAP range itself. I really want to use Xyston figures for an EAP army but am not keen on having some packs be unusable next to others. Grrrrrrrr....... |

They do make a great Army, pitted against the Xyston Greeks they look fab. |

Grrrrrrrr. does make three two other Levy figures, ANC20058 Persian Levies in Eastern Dress, for example, but who knows if they also suffer from Giantism? Forcing players to buy packs single packs of everything just to see which types are usable, and which must become fishing weights, just rewards these purveyors of scale-creep. -- Really unfortunate. The Essex EAP range had looked really promising too (judging by the awesome pics Ian Pain recently posted on FB), but it seems there's an awful mold-line which runs right thru the Sparabara shields. |

Actually, the ANC20057 code is from the Achmeanid range rather than the EAPs and I believe, based on the code numbers, the EAPs may be a newer line with the reported 'return' to 18mm scale.
The question then would be whether the same sculptor did the entire range and as a block. Or whether different sculptors added new codes to the line and creeped it out...
I believe my Thebans are an early code in the Greek range (and compatible with OG15 and others) and some of the psiloi I picked up later make them look like adolescents.
