I see the primitives are different than the originals but as you can use the originals as the primitives and the primitives as originals I see them as kind of a resculpt, as there are lots of things that do not yet have any sculpt I do not plan to put money towards resculpts tell they are done.
I see your point, and I've got enough Unseen minis myself that I don't "Need" the Primitives. However, I
DO like the looks of them enough to buy them,
AND there are
MANY people out there that either don't have
ANY Unseen, or that don't have enough of them to suit them. One of the Complaints about the Unseen/Originals after all is that they're just
NOT available anymore. The "Secondary Market" for them is being polluted with fakes, so that makes buying them chancy also. :-\ Even the Reputable sources for them generally only have 1 or 2 for sale at a time, then it's weeks or months before they have any more, if ever.
But like you, I'll not be funding Resculpts, Clan or WoB stuff. I'll fund what I like, and nothing else. ;)
