It would be a cheaper alternative to the expensive, heavy mono pose sisters we have now. :P

They'd also look better, even mono-pose. Have you seen plastics these days?
Definitely. Also, even with the most basic snap-fit figures like the Chaos Cultists from Dark Vengeance, it's a pretty easy to chop off heads and arms to swap around and give a unit some variety, even if there's only a handful of poses. Trying to do the same with metal figs is much harder, and sometimes there's no way to salvage the bits you cut off.
So I picked up a Canoness Veridyan over the weekend. Was pretty excited to be picking up my first new SoB miniature in years. Now I knew the figure was cast in resin, but it feels suspiciously like Finecrap material to me, and is extremely flexible:

The sword can flex real easy. I'm sure it'll be fine, but for $25 I was hoping it would be cast in some slightly sturdier resin....
O.o I thought she's in plastic. Now that's shocking me a bit that GW still does new Finecast minis...
They were very open about it being resin. Slambo released this last weekend was also resin. I'm amazed you found one of those somewhere. I want a second one to use for modding and such, but they've been completely unavailable since launch.
The new Celestine model, however, is amazing.
