Glyfair said:Plastic miniatures have huge setup costs. You pretty much have to be sure of high sales before you can produce them. Most 3rd party companies can't be sure of having huge sales.
For me, I'll be content with regular quality Eberron products. So far I've only been disappointed with Magic of Eberron (although I've only played through the first of the three modules).

rgard said:You are absolutely correct on the huge setup costs for plastic minis.
There are metal minis made by Reaper and Goodman games that cover many of the iconic fantasy creatures as well as D&D inspired minis, but they have different names on the packaging. Not dollar store cheap, but less much less than $50. Your average huge dragon by Reaper retails for around $20. The smaller figs are less all the way down to $4 for your average medium sized figure.
Thanks,
