FW's been rumored about that for a long time. They also were rumored to be added to the GW online store, which would have been easy when the new software was set up, but didn't happen.
If you want to mention the past, we can also note that was a time WD was a monthly magazine worth buying, they ran sales, they were coming out with multiple games even if they didn't have monster profit potential... that Games Workshop is not today's Games Workshop. We can't look at what they did with something then and assume they'll do it now.
If FW's making the stuff and it's resin, it'll end up direct order. That'll kill the games, which in turn will kill the sales of figures, and GW will pull the plug again.
I hope the rumors about resin are wrong. It's all just rumors, but we're allowed to be pessimistic about certain rumors just like we can be optimistic about other rumors.
