The picture in your link is of one of the Schleich line medieval knights and they are all pre-painted vinyl. Althought the company is German, the figures are hand painted in China.
Since discovering these wonderful figures a few months ago I have collected almost all the medieval figures in the their line including the castle, catapults, tents, and jousting items. It's kind of embarrassing, but I have easily spent over $500 on these things.
Here is the original thread discussing these back in March.

While the Sierra Toy soldier company carries this line along with a wide selection of the more expensive high end hand painted figures, you can find the Schleich figures at much better prices on the net. Sierra sells the standing figures for $6 and the mounted ones from $14 to $15, but several other toy companies that do not specialize in only toy soldiers sell the same Schleich figures for $4 and $10 to $12 respectively and quite a few have free shipping if you buy over $35 worth at a time.
Here's are links to several:

I bought most of my stuff from this place because at the time they were selling the standing figures for $3.50 and the mounted figures for $9.50. I also bought two of the castles sets for $104 each, but they have raised their prices slightly since then.

Here are a couple more with competitive pricing:

And finally, although I haven't really attempted to model a real diorama like I plan to, here are a couple of shots of my stuff simply set up on some model railroad grass paper. I also have all the mid-eastern figures, but unless I get more they they don't really mix in.
