I often heard that Mantic miniatures aren't so detailed... I can't understand why, what I see is a high level of details, yes... Mantic models have few poses than the GW ones, but here we have to take the "smallest brush".

Yea I'd agree Mantic's plastics have about the same detail level as Citadel ones (I think most claims that Mantic minis are in some way lacking comes from the fixed view some people have that if it's not GW it can't possibly be as good as GW). Yea some Mantic kits don't give you that many poses to work from - but neither do a lot of more recent GW kits and what's more you get some nice optional  pieces (goggles and so on) and a few 'fun' bits as well on most Mantic sprues (something GW rarely do anymore)

IMHO over all, any given criticism of Mantic plastics can also be leveled at Citadel plastics - so any claims that GW are any better is just down to an incomprehensible loyalty to a company that charges upward of double the average price for their products.
