Arch has been doing the rounds on this making a good point as how Amazon could be behind this:
With any character changes or introduction in 40k, GW follows up quickly with a new figurine to buy since that is their primary product.
Where are the female Custodian figurines?
It seems the fact they outright gaslit their customers has pissed off even the whales that buy their sets, if they aren't buying 3D printers by now, they are buying from those that HAVE 3D printers.
Even twenty years ago when I was still doing the tournament and painting circuit, a ton of people used bootleg and third party miniatures. Only time you didn't see it everywhere was official stuff since GW banned it from official play like the turbofags they are.
Outside of say, Golden Demon competition? Everyone was using knock offs.
To be honest, the greater importance GW has given Sisters of Battle, female inquisitors, how every Eldar main character these days tends to be female -- They're already pandering hard.
I'd much rather they play their hand this way, it clarifies the situation.
There's good reason to be livid, because Leftists don't care about canon in franchises. Woke infestation basically signals the end of the franchise as we've seen with Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, Witcher, Marvel, etc.
There's no point in caring about the IP if the rules of the IP can be changed on a whim based on some Leftist's personal feelings.
The correct action in this time is for fans to simply draw a line in the sand. No more GW products, no more GW books or lore are canon (most of the recent stuff is shite anyway since they decided that Belisarius Cawl can just magick do anything with no rhyme or reason).
GW don't appear great at their own lore so they'd never come up with a plausible reason.
I kind of liked the Primaris marines purely because they advance the story and correct the power creep of SM's getting overshadowed. Their implementation was garbage though, my head canon is that "Bellisarius Cawl is just a cover story"

Tbh I kbew a guy that's been featured in white dwarf and displayed in Nottingham Warhammer world.
His entire army is from chyna. Either the stuffs so good now GeeDubs can't tell the difference or as I suspect, he was sucking off the judges.
If they openly took bribes in the 90s I can't imagine it got better.
Were they any good, though? The 3D printed stuff? Or are we talking Chinese imitation from actual factories?
In the 90s it was Chinese knock offs yeah.
This would still be diversity pandering and bad.
