I have to say that I've been very impressed with the figures I've
purchased from Old Glory, which includes figures from their American
Civil War 15mm and 25mm lines, their WW1 25mm line, and their samurai
25mm line. The castings have been very nice. I never had a problem with
any of the Essex 15mm historicals I purchased, either. In contrast, I
remember some really poor Citadel figures from the late 80s where I had
to paint around the fact that the mould halves had shifted around the
figure's face. 

I have seen some pretty pitiful 15mm historicals, though. I suspect that
there is so little call for some lines that bad quality slips through. I
think historical players are more forgiving as they often have trouble
finding obscure figure lines. Fantasy miniature manufacturers have more
demand, too, which drives drives up the price and the sales margins.
