And if they are going to keep selling both. I like the new one better than the old one anyway.

For the old one, it was also easy to remove/cover up/not glue on the Blood Bowl bits, making it more practical/flexible for other purposes. (From memory, I removed the branches with the sprite on and helmet hanging from it, simply didn't add the thorny face protector, and covered up some trophy hidden in the hollow trunk.) The new one would require some more sculpting work (none of the non-tree bits appear optional based on the sprues), although admittedly bark isn't the worst texture to roughly sculpt.
(New one is confirmed to be plastic by the way.)
And now that I'm finally allowed on the webstore, I notice the new one is also €34, versus €25 for the previous one. That's quite a difference for minis that are so similar that at first I wasn't even sure if it was an add-on sprue instead of a fully new sculpt, but then noticed that its pose was mirrored from the older sculpt.
