If you like scenery Sutter and Stampscapes both are great. Flowers, Power Poppy is wonderful and Northwoods rubber is also good for realistic images. Sutter has beautiful animal images as well as scenery. Under Construction , stampscapes.com, powerpoppy.com Northwoods I'm not sure about.
Northwoods is a definite; such quality impression and scenes on these stamps

Ok...maybe it would helpful to give you some sites that list stamp companies-I am NOT going to swear every link is still valid, but I used them to build my own list...you are going to be going out into the internet universe so make sure you have a good virus program, just because. I have been in them with no ill effects but I have one. Some did link to total weirdness so I just instantly bailed.
They are general stamp company lists and maybe over the winter when you are stuck inside you can surf them and find more companies. I did just check them to make sure these links to them still work.
Dragonshome is under contruction. This is the new site-you can link to their blog and you would be told when it is back up again. This is one that's been around for years. Dragonhome's Place
I haven't see a mention of Deep Red yet - they have all sorts of stamps including realistic images that range from mushrooms to koalas and combat boots! Nice quality red rubber stamps on cling cushion.

I highlighted two of your links: Mostly to share information.
Rubber Hedgehog has many realistic images but they are mixed in with others that fit the particular category. I do not own any yet but the company is often suggested favorably.
Dina, tell me about Creative Vision Stamps. Are they cling stamps? It doesn't say on their website. Also can they be used on the Misti. Their images are very nice. Thanks for the link.
Stampscapes, Northwoods and Deep Red get my votes. Have many of all 3!!

Yes, they are cling mounted - perfect for the MISTI.
What are your favorite stamp companies for REALISTIC stamps?
Acrylic, unmounted rubber or wood mounts are fine.
My first question was, what defines realistic? ;-)
My first thought to answer was, I sure do love my Artistic Outpost stamps. Hope so, I own 40 sets of them! They are now sold at Our Daily Bread Designs. I have some Northcoast Creations sold there as well.

This artist is one of the best out there. He does nudes so be warned if that offends you, but they are in a separate area. He also has some truly weird stamps.
