Probably the best thing I would like to see is figures designed with common sense. For science fiction figures, this seems very rare. I must say that many of the 25mm Star Grunt figures I have seen are actually well done, if slightly on the thin side. I have a great distain for radical figures which have giant weapons that a human could never properly carry, let alone fire. Powered armour aside. Perhaps some thought on webbing, or load bearing vests, as ammo and other essentials must be carried somewhere. Again I 've seen figures without such and therefore suitable, at most, for Star Port security rather than the Front Line. As for what I would like to see; just a series of well sculptured combat figures, in a number of various poses. Give us something we can be proud to put on the table. (if GHQ can produce such detailed 285th scale armour, it should not be difficult to achieve a similiar level of detail on a 15mm figure. Maybe I am incorrect)
