I hope everyone is being overly pessimistic, but.. it is possible.
It was amazing seeing Wei's development from an artist into such a skilled sculptor. And some of the sculpts of Luis Royo work were unbelievable. I am not a 'collector', I just buy what I like and it's telling that the only sculpts I have ever bought have been Yamato. In addition to the Yamato sculpts, I have wanted to buy some of the David Goode sculptures (that may be seen here:
http://www.david-goode.com/ ) but as I'm not made of money, all I can do is think 'If only...'. No other company's offerings have ever really struck that chord with me.
If Yamato has gone down the tube: There'll never be a Uranos Drops statue, which is devastating.
In the UK there is an online register of all companies (enterprisingly called 'Companies House') maintained by the government that logs the official status of companies (Trading, inactive, insolvent, being wound up etc). Is there any such organisation covering US companies, so we could actually re-assure ourselves of the status of the company?

Richard.
