Seems this hasn't been featured here, so you might have a look at some very nice creatures and monsters:

Some nice pieces there.
I picked up a few figures in the Orcs/Trolls campaign they ran.  Amazing figures, best quality resin models I have ever seen, really good value.

Other than Hercules the heroes look not at all like what they should be imo.

Other than that all I need is the Medusa, and she is lovely but a tad expensive for my current budget.

I would have to disagree with this. I picked up a single goblin piece to assess and it was one of the worst resin figures I have encountered. It's quite a soft, rubbery resin, bit like Blood Rage , not quite as soft as bones. Nowhere near the high quality harder resin stuff like Mierce, Twisted, etc.

My advice would be, before committing a large sum, try to get yourself a trial figure first, see if you like it.

That surprises me as I got a dozen models including a couple of the large Trolls and the resin is really tough and holds detail superbly. I could barely even bend one of the short  sprues that my Orc leaders arms were cast on.
It is extremely difficult to tell apart from styrene plastic and nothing at all like Bones or even the softer resins used by Mantic.

Absolutely! Very hard resin, superbly detailed, great sculpts.

Those are rather impressive may even be tempted.

Some nice looking miniatures there.  But one of my house rules is not investing in a Crowdfunding campaign from a company that owes me figures, and I have not received my dwarves from Atlantas's last KS yet, so I will have to give these guys a miss for now.
