I agree the Preiser figures are good, as I have worked with several of their sets myself. However, be advised the Preiser figures are like larger figures in that they come in pieces to be assembled. If you have no aversion to working with individual kit items, arms, heads, ect. in 1/72 scale, these figures are for you. Being in kit form will also allow for an almost infinite combination of poses.
I'd also like to recommend a website to you.

I use this site a lot to see new sets, and compare figures. This is absolutely the best place to determine quality of 1/72 figures without having to buy them first.
Finally, because I specialize in working with figures of this scale, my favorites (in terms of sculpting, mold quality, and value) are by Italeri, but your taste may differ from mine.
Hope this info helps, and best wishes.
