I don't have the url's handy right now, but you can find them on TMP. Em4
produces the same figures as Nemo(Italian). According to TMP Nemo has the
rights to the former Grenadier figures. The pictures on the Em4 and Nemo sites
are of the same figures. I don't now what's up with their licenses though. The
interesting bit is that Mark Copplestone doesn't have the rights to his
original figures anymore, but he did keep the original masters. He is now
producing variants on his original figures through his own company Copplestone
Castings, which is also on the web with some nice pictures. I also have some
of the original Grenadier blisters in a drawer somewhere. They are closer in
size to GZG figures than to GW figures, but they do seem to be bulkier
overall. The ladies and adventurers do seem to have about the same proportians
as GZG figures though.
