Erick, will there be any kind of a flex payment plan for these more expensive pieces?

I hear you, these won't be for everyone, at 75 -100 I don't think so.
To be honest we can't do Flexpay, we don't sell in so much volume ( for now
) to afford to offer that option.
To be honest we may never go into mass production, the business model helps is simple and it is a win win type of model.
First of all it benefits the client/collector, as they get technically a one of a kind first generation figure (Once painted), it benefits painters, as they get steady work, and we make a living, don't know how to feel about the whole factory thing... too many issues these days with QC, and with companies making upwards of 10k pieces... well that's not a statue it's a toy... the logistical nightmare that would ensue..oh no...
We want to keep things simple.
Maybe eventually manufacture more resin kit brands ( Dragon Ball Z, etc etc) here, in the U.S to cater to those that want true collectibles with paint quality done by Pros,maybe somehow keep the hobby alive a few years more... it is a dying hobby sadly.
The statue business is not a way to become rich, If I wanted to do so I'd start my own Mexican Burguer company company and I tell you this, I'd be 100% successful...
who knows maybe that's next after this.
