Ick. Aren't 10mm figures inexpensive enough?

For the life of me, I don't understand the fascination with plastic
figures. OK - maybe if you have to have Perry style at a less
expensive price...but...

I don't get it. All I can guess is that instead of 200 unpainted
figures stored away, gamers can have 300 figures unpainted stored away.

Plastic this, plastic that...it all looks like duplication of existing
lines and periods to me.

Is this what we're down to - all the lines are done, so we're reduced
to introductions of the same periods but in different materials?

What's next? Environmentally friendly "green" figures?

I'm sure there are plenty of this group's members that probably love
the plastic figures. They probably call Napoleonics "Nappies" too.
