I have seen a few posts on bad 1 72 scale figures , here are some i have and they are good. ceaser, milcast , w d models are 4 mm scale slightly smaller than 1 72 but hardly noticeable if you dont mix with others, also orion look like they are the same as priser .
If you cant find them i can give you web address.

I agree, good 1/72 figs are hard to find (I don't know why. 1/72 scale has been around for so long!). If you don't mind paying a higher price for resin 3-printed figs, I've bought some of these: http://www.shapeways.com/shops/panzervstanks?s=0#more-products He has IDF combat sets, and generic Wehrmacht, and Kriegsmarine crew figures, as well as US Navy crew figures, which also are available in a variety of scales. The designer has informed me that further WWII combat sets will be forthcoming.
