Flash on figures

Well, for all the problems they cause, GW has set a fairly high standard
for
the flash and cleanup of SF models.

I've been buying a Foundry figures over the last year and the flash
situation has been noticeable, but not truly excessive (some packs are
great, others, like the Stealthy Tribal Archers II, are painful to work
with).

I must agree with Jon that his gentle treatment of molds goes a long way
towards keeping customers happy.  RAFM and GeoHex are two manufacturers
where I've mode a point of buying new releases because later purchases
have
occasionally been drastically lower quality than the first wave.  Bad
Dog
era AOG miniatures were notable for how bad a fit the first run could
have,
and even recent releases like the Poseidon are almost universally
regarded
as horrible to assemble.
