cheap/affordable figure case

They are essentially video tape cases.

The only difference is the depth.

The foam included is pretty thin. Its more like the kind of foam you get as a topper in cases than eggshell foam or anything thick.
Edit: those cases look different actually. They seem to have better foam than they once had or that comes with the boxed releases.

The foam isn't super thick, but i've walked 5 miles with an army full of these things in a loose swinging bag and not had a single model damaged. certainly for the cost they're the best cases i've ever used, and much easier than lugging around a custom mini case which was never designed for long journeys.(also, no strange looks when you get on the tube with an Aquila embossed suitcase.)

Personally I think getting some off cuts of foam and cutting them to size would be a great way to make them a lot better. Would certainly work out cheaper than any other manufacturers. Even if they would be lacking individual custom cut outs.

I don't know that the cases have a lot of additional space for thicker foam.

yeah they could take thicker foam with no problem.

How many 28mm figures do those mantic cases hold as I can't see any dimensions on them.

I'v managed to fit 20 corporation marines in a small case, and you could fit double so in a large one.
For small vehicles and big cavalry/support weapons, the large cases should be perfect for 2 or 3 units.

I have seen a few pictures of each case holding 15 gw marines with room for the odd character.
