Horribly bad designs

Dark Dream Studios

Never pay more than the bare minimum for any of these space battle kits. They are essentially the worst kits I have ever seen or tried to make sense of, even though there is remarkably, very little flash and the mold seems to be holding up pretty good. THE ONLY THING good about this kit is that the infantry looks like not space, but chemical or bio-suit hazard infantry.

Valiant Miniatures

These 1/72 figures although excellent quality are too big for other 1/72 scale miniatures and vehicles

Styrofoam glue

Woodland Scenics

There is no determination if this glue is any different than Titebond Premium Wood Glue

Future

Zvezda

These are the best miniatures on the market today for 1/72, WW2 and Napoleonics and Ancients, but we are unsure about this firms future so if you are buying these miniatures in quantity, BUY UP as many of the boxes as you can find for whatever you are looking for.

Bad old molds sculpts

Airfix

There is very little redeeming qualities to Airfix figures and there MIGHT be some worth if they were priced from vendors for their value, which would be about USD about $1 per box, but sadly this is not the case. None of these figures in any era are worth time to paint up and their plastic is WAY too soft.

Smaller than 1/72

A Call to Arms

These figures sadden us that they are not actually 1/72 but closer to 20mm and perhaps even 18mm for American Civil War. Thus, these will work to augment your metal 18mm collections but NOT with 1/72 plastics
