Good bones for new coop?

I think if you've got the skill, that would be pretty cheap to make! The design looks pretty simple too. I would be careful buying stuff made for kids, the materials are usually pretty iffy and not made to last. I'm not sure I would attempt it without being able to see what you're getting first.

Put large overhangs on the roof.

and a cupola!

But how big is it?
Not sure you could stand in it.
What is your climate/location?

You're going to have to make a fair number of enhancements and modifications anyway. If you could have bought it used for cheap, then it might have paid off as a pre-made starting point. But rather than buy the kit new (which will still require considerable assembly once you get it) I'd recommend you to start with sketches and lumber and just build from scratch.
