This is a very useful article on all the different manufacturers who make figures in this new scale. Collecting seems to be a large part of this hobby - there's a discussion group here for 40mm collector's and wargamers. This scale seems to be appealing to two different types of collector - they either appeal on aesthetic grounds - better figures more fun to paint - led by people like the Perrys - (their Napoleonic range in particular) or to the toy soldier traditional style based on moulds or stylised traditional figures by people like Irregular miniatures. This falls into the category of Old School wargaming. To see an example of self- moulded figures en masse check out this Swedish club.
Other companies mentioned elsewhere are Sash and Saber and HLBS - who have just released a modern horror range.
