It must be obvious that having spent time and money on getting the face right, the mould seam really isn't going to bring anything good to the party.

Try misaligned moulds. Happy fixing. >:(

One of the key things to remember about sculpting and painting minis is that at 25-40mm scale the eye is drawn very quickly and exclusively to two areas: The face, and the (mostly upper) chest. If you do a good job sculpting and painting those areas, the eye will often forgive small errors elsewhere.

I hate mini's that take a long time to clean. Mantics Restic miniatures from dead zone for example are a nightmare to clean up and put together.

I really like perry miniatures especially the Samurai, they are not the easiest models to paint though.

See I found the mantic deadzone quite easy, I got the plagued box and was done in 30 minutes, no fit issues at all and not many mold lines

Casters who make mold lines that run right across faces ought to be shot.  >:(

This is something I always try to avoid as a sculptor. I'd rather sculpt the figure with a separate head than risk a mould line running through it. The faces are always a lot of work to sculpt well, and it just seems crazy to through away that work at the production stage.

I started on the marauders and they were awful.
