Here are a couple of comparison photos showing a miniature from Newline Designs compared to several other manufacturers' figures.
First we have, from left to right, figures from Newline Designs, Gripping Beast (plastic), Crusader Miniatures, Renegade Miniatures and Artizan Designs.
This photo has, from left to right, Newline, Foundry, Redoubt, Tanatus and West Wind.
Looking for 28mm historical miniature figures? This blog is a database of manufacturers showing who makes what. I am also adding photos showing figures from different makers side by side. The 'Directory' tab has a list of manufacturers showing what ranges they make and a link to their website. The other tabs list what figures are available for that period.

Front Rank Figurines Napoleonic Range
Front Rank Figurines produce a large range of Napoleonic miniatures. As well as British, French, Austrian and Russian figures they also make Spanish, Portuguese, Polish and various German states. In fact the only major thing missing seems to be Prussian troops!
The figures sit at the larger end of the 28mm spectrum and are a bit 'portly'. They have plenty of well-defined detail which helps with painting. Some may find the style a bit too caricatured, but for most people Front Rank provide a wide variety of nicely animated figures. I found their service was very fast, too!
The first comparison photo shows, from left to right, Front Rank, Perry and Offensive
Next up, from left to right, Front Rank, Warlord plastic and Victrix plastic
And here is Front Rank compared with the slightly smaller Alban Miniatures
