I think GB is doing the cheapest plastics. When you only want masses, ok, but when you want quality, keep your fingers away. I was very disappointed about all these plastic from GB...

I think that Gripping Beast, Fireforge and Warlord calculate that you will just buy more of their stuff, which I guess is how they operate, but to be honest, I think in as many cases it actually directs consumers away from their products towards the sprue sellers on ebay, so in some way they lose that brand/company loyalty by shortchanging us.

I can't talk for other companies, but for Fireforge Games we are working in the way to offer the possible we can with the budget we have. We made errors in past, we taken questionable choices for sure. But all what we did in past for us was useful to learn a lesson and to offer something best. There are also production matters to see. We are quite happy about the evolution of our production, seing the past and watching this year with Birger Jarl and Byzantines

Actually Nurgle they aren't the cheapest - cheap for them possibly but not the cheapest figures. The Perries probably hold that honour when looking at price per figure (and all round goodness per box) - what a shame the Perries aren't currently excited by the Dark Ages.

And while I'm all for kitbashing it shouldn't be a necessity if you want variation like in this box.

So, it is become more non-understandable, what GB is doing. But the customer can vote with his order, if he wants quality or Gripping Beast.
