The figures look really nice, prepainted?

they are prepainted to quite a stunning standard but......
$50 EACH.
They are however simply stunning.

i've seen prepainted figures from a russian company, St. Petersburg, i think they're called, that are a lot more than that. Some run close to $100 for a 54mm figure. Apparently quite popular.

First Legion soldiers are fantastic but pricey..... Extremely well painted and detailed. Their vehicles are nice but not worth the price in my opinion.

a nepoleon set turned up on ebay in the UK just before christmas and it ended at £760 ($1200).i think the UK 1/32 market has gone mad.king & country fetch big prices as do figarti,though collectors showcase are still my favourite (great poses) (good prices).well thats enough nerding the net,i got some TSSD to paint for the kids so i better get on with it.

I just noticed that there are a few conversations about our figures on this forum and I thought I would pop in and make a few comments.
First, our figures can certainly be viewed as expensive by some - it all depends on what you're used to. But when you consider that an unpainted figure kit can cost up to about $30 for a high quality sculpt like ours, our figures are a bargain at $45-$50 or so for a foot figure with our sculpting quality and painting quality. In fact, our company is pretty known at this point for offering the best price to quality ratio of any painted figure company in the world.
Second, just to clear up a misconception - our vehicles are not plastic, they're resin with a few plastic (or copper, photo etched) parts where resin isn't possible or not strong enough. Most companies who make vehicles like ours make them in Polystone, which is an absurdly heavy, cheap, and very low detail material. Using resin we can achieve a much higher level of detail and accuracy. As to whether or not they're worth the money, our customers seem to feel that they are as they are extremely accurate 1/30th scale vehicles painted to an extremely high quality.
That's it, I'll leave you guys to your discussions!
Best,
Matt

I have to agree the figures may be a little out of my price range but they look to be worth the money.
