My favorites metal miniatures tend to be those made by Dark Sword Miniatures. They have several lines and most of the figures are useable as either PCs or NPCs but they also have an decent offering of dogs and anthropomorphic animal characters. Their selection of monsters is unfortunately limited. The figures are 28mm heroic scale, but they are a little taller than the WizKids and Reaper minis but not so tall that I would not use them together on the table. Prices for the minis range start around $10-12.
The Female High Elf Warrior (DSM7414) is a good representation of Dark Sword's offerings. Dark Sword Miniatures are pricier, but most of their minis are works of art. This mini from their Visions in Fantasy line is no exception. The figure is clad in elven armor and wields a sword and shield. Her cape is billowing behind her and she looks ready to act.

This high elf reminds me of the high elves made by Citadel and is clearly inspired by Tolkien. I wish Dark Sword Miniatures would produce more variety of these elves as an elven army in this style would be a much appreciated addition to the table.
