[QUOTE="teitan, post: 9191564, member: 3457"] 100% they are and it isn't necessarily a bad thing but people need to take into account that Bones 6 is almost all superior materials that cost a LOT more than the cheap classic bones. The best example I can think of is the old metal zombies, then the bones classic zombies that were pretty much just amorphous blobs and have now been re-released in Bones USA and are back to actually looking like really, really nice models and a good alternative to the metal versions while all classic Bones were were a very inexpensive option that were not fun to paint. They needed to make those improvements though because Wizkids encroached on their territory with a somewhat superior product for the "get minis on the table" crowd with the overprimed, but not so bendy etc Deep Cuts minis. I hates them. They aren't even fun to paint but I get how they undercut Reaper on a similar product. Reaper has gone back to what they did best, high quality models that are fun to paint at a reasonable price point. Bones Black is a pretty good material and Bones USA is so smooth to paint.
