Other than Xyston and Old Glory 15s, does any other manufacturer make Seleucid pike figures with wire (not lead) pikes, and a pose where the pike is held vertically? The Xyston are larger than the OG15s and Essex in the rest of my collection, and I'm not sure I like the size/shape of the OG15 shields.

I've just discovered the Black Hat figures. I like the figures, the the shields are plain flat disks - which will look strange. Still looking for other options.

My pikemen are a combination from Old Glory officers, Xyston rear ranks, Lancashire and Warmodelling medium ranks and Warmodelling front rank. Here you have the link for Lancashire

I don't think that Macedonian and Seleucid pikemen were that much different, except for the pantodanpoi (pikemen with trousers). I prefer pikemen that are holding the pike with both hands, in a marching position rather than a static one. If you wonder about the size of the pikemen, here you have a small comparative:

Essex pikes are easy to cut out and replace.
