Kingdom Death: normal humans about 32mm, detail is better than GW, has large monsters
Malifaux: about 28mm, really great detail, I don't remember anything too large. Some mounted minis and monsters are there
Mierce: varied size, lot's of monsters, nice details, but mostly resin
Prodos: usually about 28-32mm minis, great detail, resin. Best if you like Aliens (but so far shitty service, so try buying from other shops, not directly from them)

you could also try the larger minis / Busts from Scale75, Andrea minis, Nuts Planet, ... (too many to even list)

Freebooter,
Reaper,
Have a look at www.Cadwallon.com who are now producing some of the Rackham figures, not always a 100% brilliant cast but a lot better than the shoddy recasters to be found on eBay.

All of them -_- Collect ALL of them.

Kingdom Death has good, often disturbing large monsters.

Reaper has been shifting its large monsters to its Bones PVC material. They are good-looking, lightweight and flexible (not brittle like resin!), and the detail is not bad, but I'm not sure I would call them collectible.

Stonehaven makes its larger figures in resin and it has a good number of folkloric trolls and (after a recent Kickstarter) giants.
