In this case, with the Owlbear miniature, there is no problem with the plastic whatsoever. It’s a lovely chunky sculpt – no flexing, he holds his pose perfectly. And what a pose! It’s a gorgeous model, and an iconic D&D monster. I was incredibly excited to get some paint on one, and the deep sculpted detail made doing that easy and a complete joy. It really lends itself to the newer paint types (Contrast and Speed Paints), or more conventional washes over base coats, as the deep recesses allow the paint to really flow away from the raised areas. Some progressively lighter drybrushing over that really makes the fur and feathers pop. This edition of the D&D game included its own owl bear, in the Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set (1981 and 1983).
