I can't answer all of these questions, but I do have a little info on
certain choices.

We've looked into this. I don't know about the existing minis, but I _think_

Won't happen for a sound financial reason. Individually, resin figures are
cheaper to produce, but they have an _incredible_ startup cost for the
molds. we've looked at it several times and had to say, "No way." Basically,
the cost for a resin master and mold runs 5 to 10 times that of a lead. Sure
we could crank out the figs for pennies a piece once we had it, but our
sales to date wouldn't have covered the overhead.

I can't argue personal taste. ;-)

This is a "business thing" that I really don't have the info to respond to.

Wow. From a purely business standpoint, I'd like nothing better than to see
GRW become the monster that Warhammer did. :-)

However, I see your point.
