They're WWII 8th Army style conversions from the regular rat range, so shorts and shirts I believe, plus helmets and weapons.  I've not got any pics to hand though I'm afraid, so I'll have a dig about for some.  We could always send you some samples as well if you like?

Would you also happen to have any comparisons between the "large" and "small" ratmen?

The height difference between the two isn't great, the small ones being around 9mm, and the large around 11mm, but there's quite a difference in the bulk of the figure.

Here's a pic of some of the larger ones:

I'd think so, they don't look that much different, only a little less bulky and a little shorter.  It'd probably give a nice variation to the base.

It's always been a little more than the Historicals, due to the figures being bigger.  But they've never been priced any higher than they are currently?
