Don't remember the Matchbox figures, but it would appear that similar molds were used for both (scale obviously changed up).
The stature of the figures is a very good representation of actual poses, although the PSC figures look a bit better overall.
Carry on.
Think the Matchbox postures edge it (especially the standing rifleman's supporting hand), but the overall detail on the PSC is excellent; will definately get some of these...
I don't think they are up-scaled in any way as the detail is different on both ranges. It's more likely that equipment was worn in set positions and the men were trained to shoot in particular stances too... just like today.
The Matchbox and Plastic Soldier Company figures are totally different figures, but the style is the same. They look like they may have been done by the same sculptor or by someone inspired by him.
Matchbox are were 1/76 so smaller than 1/72
if Revell decides to redo maybe the Anzacs and Japanese or any
WW2 British, German , U.S, Japanese, Anzacs, 8th Army and Africa Korps
