For sure. They can make a lot of great figures out of this base armor.

I believe it. Certain die-hard fans always get angry once their favorite license tries something new. They fear they'll lose what they like most instead of seeing the possibilities change brings.

The insults I’ve seen towards action figure collectors from miniature folks though - it still baffles me how people who love vanilla can hate people who love chocolate instead of agreeing that both tastes great in its own right, sometimes even better when mixed.

It seems like Games Workshop is finally realizing they can just print money by letting other companies make stuff for them. Apparently that's due to a recent change in management and I'm all for it.

I don’t expect this to be too expensive, they want to sell it towards a huge crowd, I’d say something in the lower to upper 30 is a possible price.

If the paintjob is basic it could very well be something like 29.99 too.
