    I voted 0%, I have yet to get any Finecast that has more than the smallest of bubbles, and that's an extremely easy fix. Compare that to my metal Stormtrooper Sgt., there was a mould line right down the middle of his face, and the two halves of the mould were off, so I ended up filing half his head down and he still looks like a severe burn victim. I have had far worse experiences with metal than any other medium, in my opinion getting rid of metal was the best thing GW ever did, I only hope PP will follow suit and go strictly with their plastic/resin mix.

    I have yet to actually purchase any finecast that was in perfect condition.

    I consider GW plastics to be "perfect condition".

    So mould lines are acceptable. Interesting.

    Bought 4 finecast models so far...Liche Priest and Firebelly both were acceptable, albeit with some minor problems to correct. Prince Apropas (or however you spell it) and my casket of souls both required exchanges for new models.

    I have not purchased any. My friends that purchased them were very disapointed. They were flimsy, poorly made, pieces of filth. AND THEY COST TOO MUCH. Sorry for yelling.

    My shadowseer needed the hood clearing out, both Imotek and trazyn were fine, just minor clearing up.

    ***** I just got the 25th anni. model and its banner was broken. The cast looked good, but perhaps just snapped during shipping or something. GW is going to replace it. Overall though, the finecast stuff I've gotten has been pretty good. If they can fix the "warped" issue, it might even win me over.

    I have not yet purchased any Finecast models. They're just too darn expensive.
    There is one direction: FORWARD!

    So far my stuff's been hit or miss, but generally the flaws have been pretty minor. I have to say I have seen a perfect cast once on one of my wife's models, and god it was gorgeous.

    So it's pretty obvious that for the most part so far Finecast seems to be good, but when things go wrong they go badly wrong, hence the very loud complainers.

    Keep voting.
