Also, the Fred Moore girl was similarly dressed and was a huge hit....for us anyway. One of our biggest sellers. We're just excited to dip our foot back into the pool so to speak.
The tease is often more sexy than straight up nudity. I look forward to see how this statue develops.

Will there be non-exclusive versions of the statues? I ask as you never accept orders to international locations.

Yep got all deans statues! Met him many times too great guy, wife is great too! I agree more the merrier, but just prefer more clothed pieces so many good designs he has! Hope we see more than one or two every couple years.

Does this mean there may be more cool ET statues coming out?

We hope to do some exclusives, but they will only involve the pillow color. Yes we leave the international shipping to the pros like our distributors. It's just not practical for us to ship outside of the US in most cases.

We are testing the waters with this piece. We need to refresh our experience with factories and see if it's worth it. I have a feeling production cost has risen during our absence. Also, talented sculptors who will work within our budgets are rare. We're starting with the Mandy piece since Dean is so easy to work with. Also there are no pressures such as royalty deadlines, etc. We will release it when it's ready. I really dread getting into long licensing agreements, but I know it's part of the business. It's fun when we get to play with other peoples licenses like we've done with Sideshow on a couple of occasions.

I'm not really into Mandy however I hope this leads to more statues from ET.

All my favourite pieces in my collection come from ET.

If orders are lagging I'll have to PO this just to get you back in the game Tracy

Not that they'll ever happen, however I still drool over your Hanna Barbera stuff.

I loves me some cartoon statues

I keep seeing this Mandy character. She seems fun. Don't know if I need a statue of her. Perhaps I'll try one of those sketchbook/comics one day. But if Electric Tiki made a retro Betty Page Rocketeer version in their style. That I would get.
