This collection also goes to show that if DC got their act together there'd still be a valid place for them on the scene. They tried competing with the big boys by producing museum statues and it didn't quite work, but when you can make smaller statues as pretty as that Martian Manhunter/Aquaman then why bother?
Not everyone can afford to spend $300+ on a regular basis and by producing smaller scale good quality statues they'd easily corner that end of the market and catch the sometime/less serious collectors.
Unfortunately while they seem to be concentrating on small scale now, prices are going up and quality is going down. (and this is someone who's always defended them in the past) They should have gone to Tim Bruckner on bended knee and begged him to take control. Maybe someone there can at least take inspiration from him and drag them out of the toilet.
Still, at least the B&W's are nice. Could keep them going for a bit until someone sees sense.
