Warning! Warning! Warning!  
Talking about Heavy Gear miniatures is a "Hot Button" topic! :-)

OK, now that I've gotten that out of my system - be warned that the
"new"
HG minitures produced by Dream Pod 9 in the small boxed sets with full
color box art are 1:144 scale (12mm), while the Jaeger that you bought
in a
blister pack is OOP from RAFM and are 1:87 scale (20mm).

If you have located the larger boxed sets that are labeled "Azure
Devils"
or "Desert Sharks", then those two particular sets are the older OOP
gears
at the 1:87 scale.  Look for RAFM as the manufacturer to verify.  If you
are looking at the "Northern General Purpose Gear Squadron" or similar,
in
a smallish full-color box, then those are the newer 12mm Gears, and
would
only work if you play SG2 at 10mm or 15mm scales.

I have a *lot* of the RAFM Heavy Gear miniatures, but I use them for
playing Heavy Gear! <g>
