I understand the the quality will improve once the new minis come out.
But
the ones currently in my local shop are all made by Bad Dog. I raise
dogs,
and it looks like one of mine chewed on the minis before they went into
the
pack. Flash is a way of life with these minis. They have poor detail and
a
bad case of mold marks. The hole for the stand is about 3 times to big
around and not very deep. You have no choice but to glue the minis to
the
stands. Back when I used to play STFB (18 years ago), at least the minis
fit
on the bloody stands.
