I believe that's the reality of the collectable industry. The cost of producing large scale luxury statues is only going to get more and more expensive in the foreseeable future. Tariffs make the situation much worst. Fewer and fewer collectors will have the appetite for super expensive statues. It is a losing game in the long run. Being a Chinese company in China, they know this far better than any other companies out there. It is smart of them to change course and move into something with a more palatable price point like 1:6 figures. They still have a long line-up of those which are still in development stage.

Market is crashing, Queen is gone, P1 has not put anything exciting for a while, if JND falls will be the end into a recession.

JND is legitimately the only company keeping me in the collectible industry right now. No other company is as interesting.

If they're gone, that would truly be a sad time.

Dear Fans of JND Studios.
We would like to inform you that the order for The Dark Knight Bane will be closed.
Accordingly, the final ES of Bane has been adjusted to a total of 349.
We are always struggling from various angles to maintain the possible value of the products our collectors have.
We don't think products that anyone can access are suitable for high-end products and limited editions like ours.
Rather than selling for a long time and seeking additional profits, we will choose a way that makes those who choose our product a little happier. We hope our decision can help collectors in the long run.
In the future, we will continue to examine the market response more quickly and work harder to ensure that the value of this hobby does not fade.
I hope these decisions will help you in your hobbies.
Sincerely,
JND Studios

349 makes a lot more sense instead of 599. Good pivot, JND (although I wish it was 300).

They are very active in the JND group, so I'm sure they read a bunch of comments from us saying the ES was crazy high. Good for those that ordered, but if I choose to get this, I'll be waiting for those discounts
