Well, I don't pretend to nail it down, but I think it's the reasons that tend to produce that nostalgia for me. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly we recommend using Citadel paints. So, the plastic craze can be perceived as a kind of narrowness of mind, since many of the younger generation are barely aware that there are other mini companies out there, many of which produce an incredible variety and quality of goods. This kit comprises 4 resin components with which you can assemble one Big Mek With Kustom Force Field and is supplied with 1x 40mm round slotta base. Plastic production requires a very expansive set up, and Grandma Wendy is still the only mini manufacturer with extensive plastic mini production. The plastic miniature realm is also the exclusive realm of games Workshop. I don't choose my miniatures according to this, but I do still have a bias, and very lightweight mini still seem somewhat 'cheap' to me. Nowadays, the best plastic miniatures is about equal with metal or resin production, but a kind of nostalgia remains for some people. And when plastic was first introduced, generally plastic miniatures were of inferior quality (metal held better, crisper details), and the light weight of plastic minis felt 'cheap'. I think it's because when I started the hobby, many years ago, the only miniatures available were metal.
