I'm mainly curious how Reaper Minaitures compare to Murch Pulp Miniatures and Copplestone Miniatures

They tend to be taller and slimmer than the two you mentioned. They are closer to 29 – 30mm to the eyes for most models, so more like 32mm.

Thanks nnascati.

I have a ton of Reaper miniatures, since they are practically a home town business. It really depends on the line. Some of them are fairly stout, while others are thinner and a little shorter. Most of the metal figures are nicely detailed. Some Bones figures can lose some detail and have some seams, but you can't beat the price.

Reaper humans are, as a rule MUCH bigger than Pulp by Murch.

Mark Copplestone allowed himself substantial 'scale creep' ten years ago or so, and I quit buying his product because those newer miniatures were so much bigger and beefier than his previous sculpts, or Pulp by Murch.

I pretty much use them interchangeably. Since I mostly play Pulp Alley it's not a regular thing that two minis are standing side by side--or certainly not in ranks. But sometimes the styles of sculpting clash, as well as the sizes.

Reaper uses several different sculptors so constancy varies from range to range and even figure to figure.

If you want to match Pulp Figures humans, try using the Reaper search engine to look for figures sculpted by Sandra Garrity. Of course, Sandra mainly sculpted fantasy figures, so this may be a problem. Aside from that, I'd pretty much have to agree with Mr. nnascati. There are, I think, a few exceptions, though.

They are all Bones now. Plastarific.

No they are not.
The Dark Heaven line has 1,910 metal minis in their store.
The Pathfinder line has 249 minis in their store, but 43 are Bones.
The Warlord line has 786 minis in their store, but 5 are Bones.
The Chronoscope line has 422 minis in their store, but 81 are Bones.
The Savage Worlds line has 56 minis in their store, but 8 are Bones.
The Bones line has 785 items, but some are paint with the word bone in the name or title.
