My sense from the financial comments shared by Finlay on another thread is mixed.  And in this case the expansion into the toy realm is another attempt at marketing their products, seemingly the one they are doing best with, into a realm that might help them, but we'll see.

Reusing art from an old starter set on a new starter with a different background story is a bit weak. I approve of reusing old kits, though. They save cash on design, we get access to ancient miniatures.
I agree with the inhumane treatment of animals.

I like that the Space Marine/Ork Starter set is available again.
