[QUOTE="Wofano Wotanto, post: 9643892, member: 7044704"] Nothing shocking about it, Redbox has always been known for their metals and always charged around $10 per fig - which gets them razzed by a lot of the historical players I know, because a lot of their stuff isn't particularly fantastical. Even Wargames Foundry (who works in the same medium, has some stunning sculpts both in and out of historicals) doesn't charge that much, and they're one of the more expensive casters in the field. If you're willing to go for "cheap and cheerful" options like Old Glory your price per figure is down around $5, and you can save a whopping 40% off that (and most of their catalog) for a year by spending $50 to join the Old Glory Army program - which comes with your choice off a menu of "figures of the month" packs that sell for almost that much. At that point they're cheaper than many of best modern plastics on the market - and Frostgrave (plastic or metal) would definitely be another thing worth looking at for generic guy with sword or bow figs. Short version, the historical market tends to be cheaper than stuff aimed at the RPG market, in part because the folks who play them refuse to pay as much per fig. OTOH, it harder to find individual figs versus packs of 8-20 models, which is a negative for many roleplayers. [/QUOTE]
