Stay safe out there.
Cheers!

Thank you, Will.

I believe that i expressed the feelings of the whole forum. I love you, your work and your humility, Will. You are like a Bernini or a Michelangelo. No need for cockiness, your work speaks for itself.

Ahhh and if you ever going to sculpt a Red Sonja on Throne the likes of Ian MacDonald's art print (check below)

Sideshow better preset the ES of the EX at 1500. Yes, it is not a mistake. Forps never makes a mistake. If Thanos on Throne sold 750 pieces in under an hour,

this Red Sonja on Throne sculpted again by the magician himself, Will, is going to quickly sellout, even having an enormous preset ES of 1500 for the EX.

A Harbottle's Red Sonja on Throne following Ian's art print style?

It is going to be a bloodbath!

A bloodbath, this hobby have never seen before!

Mark my words!

Given your delayed response, there was a concern that you had a heart attack after seeing Harbottle actually respond to you.

Love you, Phoenixblazes. You are also in my heart being a LSB collector. You and gz33 are in my heart as fellow LSB lovers. Life Size Busts collectors have a strong connection.

Nevertheless, the rumours were wrong cause as you all know....

Forps ain't got time to have a heart attack

and of course

Forps ain't got time to bleed.

Dude sounds like Trump. “A bloodbath the hobby has never seen before.” And always speaking in the third person.

Next post possibilities include:

“CINOS (collectors in name only) are ruining the hobby.”

“Nobody knows statues like me. I know more about statues, than any collector, maybe ever.”

“Collecting interference!”

“The new Ghost Rider statue is a hoax.”

“We’re not gonna have a hobby soon, the CINOS and radical hot toys collectors are destroying statue forum! SAD!”

Etc. etc.

Well, this is your opinion, pal and a biased one cause i never said i liked a politician or that i mimic anybody or his/her style.

Majority of people read Forps to get what is REALLY going on in this hobby. They are bored of pushers, hypers and Tubers pushing their "agenda".

Do you also like XM, LBS, Tweeterhead, PCS? Then you can go write in those threads.

Forps threads do not suit you. So go play in other threads, pal. Simple as that.

It was a joke dude, get over it. And I’ll post wherever I want, I got more time in the Sideshow section than you got on this forum.

You, little weasel....

Well, as i clearly stated in the first post, i aim to provide Sideshow with suggestions of how to weather the storm and then get even stronger.

I love Sideshow. I also love Prime1/Blitzway, ECC and Infinity Studios.

Some years ago, i gave EXCELLENT advice to Sideshow (regarding of how to stop Prime1's ascending, of how not to bother herself losing time thinking about XM, XM was always an artificial creation of hype and pushing. Sideshow thought at the time that XM was her competitor when in reality Prime1 was).

I insisted back then that Sideshow should immediately get onto 1/3 lines to contain Prime1 (the ONLY real competitor) and that Sideshow should also go FULL in on Life Size Busts (Queen Studios and Infinity Studios "caught" the upcoming LSB trend with deep-pocketed collectors who love, LOVE, LSBs. Nevertheless, Forps "smells" problems nowadays with Queen and his "nose" never faults).

The market BEGGED for size and quality. Also MANY deep-pocketed collectors got into the hobby and Sideshow lost the opportunity to appeal to them.

Sideshow became the Walmart or the Ford of the hobby leaving room for eg Prime to become the Mercedes and Infinity Studios to become the Lambo of the hobby.

At the time, Sideshow had atrocious management, atrocious art direction, too much slack and too much cockiness.

Now is the time to listen to Forps.

The current downtrend in the hobby allows Sideshow to regroup itself. I gave detailed advice (also after the online Con).

I can see in 1.5-2y time, the market having Sideshow, Prime1/Blitzway, Infinity and then some "niche" companies (PCS, XM but XM's fall is obvious to all, LBS i won't say anything, cause her online army of pushers are going to attack me in hordes).

ECC, one of my beloved companies, is in danger, Steve's latest moves are rather bad. Hellboy's stuff WON'T sell (at least to the point to make a profit) and JP stuff also won't sell after next 1-2 releases.

I believe that Sideshow has a golden opportunity to reclaim her throne by utilizing many of my suggestions

Harbottle and Canale to approve sculpts in order to save us from ABOMINATIONS the likes of new Ghost Rider or Batman Beyond or the latest Joker PFF,

Panfilova to sign an exclusive contract,

bringing back Andy to work along Will and Martin and also restart with Peterson a new wicked, deranged LSB line,

Sideshow should STOP going to Cons, its a waste of time and resources,

her CEO should leave decisions on new lines to experts,

2 new comic 1/3 lines in the future to KO her competition,

Sideshow's South American sculpting clan should be controlled by Canale and make some tough decisions there,

creation of a 3-headed monster having 3 DISTINCT groups of GOATs inside the company,

Harbottle-Panfilova-Grassetti for the elegant, refined sculpts and characters.

Canale, Peterson and Bergholtz for the more "primal", more testosterone-driven characters eg Hulk.

And Peterson along with Bergholtz to restart a new wicked, deranged LSB line for the ages, eg a LSB of Two-Face sculpted by Bergholtz is going to create havoc or a Lobo LSB by Peterson.

This new, slim, working like a well-oiled machine, this 3-headed monster is going to destroy, to OBLITERATE competition, ONCE AND FOR ALL.

Forps' insight is second to none and i bet that nearly all companies (besides Sideshow) read me and write down things for themselves.
