I would say the heads and helmets are too big for the 1/18 figs.

At 6"-7" a figure, these are between half as big again to nearly twice the size of the 1/18th figures...

Oh well, not everyone can be English, I s'pose. C'est la vie :P


6 inches <> 15cm
7 " <> 18cm
3.3/4 inches <> 10cm

Using a modern BBI infantryman as a guide, his head is about 13mm high. The MacFarlane figure would be about 20mm, or slightly bigger. Is this more helpful? :oops:

About the only practical use for these in a 1/18th "display" I can think of would be to stick a whole one at the front, to make the scene look a bit bigger front-to-back than it is, by 'forced persepctive'...
