Who makes the figure?

That's a Reaper Miniatures Bones figure, I can't get over how amazingly well priced those Reaper Bones figures are:

Overall, I rarely have to wash my bones figs, although I have washed a few. I find that sometimes when I try to undercoat the figs with watered-down cheap acrylic craft paints it takes a few coats to get total coverage. But when I just paint with quality miniature paints, I don't have a problem. The thing is, I typically always paint from a black undercoat, so I do have to undercoat my figures! Reaper, please make black bones figs for me! :)

Really, they are totally worth it, excellent value, very good quality. I have had one case where a normal-sized human figure was missing a nose, but then I've had that in metal as well...
