IMHO the Dark Star range are very good - the infantry are excellent
little replicas of the larger 25mm Denizen figures. I don't have any of
the tanks apart from a couple of little scout walkers, because I thought
they were too expensive to collect in any numbers (in the order of £2
(c.$3) for a single vehicle). However, what I saw of them impressed me a
great deal.
There are pictures here :

which are straight from the catalogue (IIRC even that was overpriced -
£1 for a single photocopied sheet !).
Stone Mountain sell them in the US

and interestingly the prices work out cheaper in the US !
