Maybe in order to even produce some of the beat level characters he would have to do more Batman or Superman or Harley Quinn etc. in order to offset the cost of doing a lower tier character

Yes.
I still have hope that some B and C will get made, even in an limited exclusive. Fingers crossed. I know a certain purple lantern would be a lovely addition.

I think wrap up of the SDCC and large shipping finishing touches and then we will get a video. Not sure if there will be a detailed mapping since so many people had mentioned that he mentions things he wants to do then peeps get excited and think it's gonna be released in a year.

With so many companies making statues and with the world economy in the toilet it's a scary world out there for luxury items like statues... Make a niche character and you might end up eating all the costs from poor sales...
With some much competition you really need to make something that really stands out...

Yes. That is on a lot of companies minds. However, in a market that is glutted with the big superhero names, I feel collectors will start looking for out of the box figures. Look at the well designed original statues SS showed.

I'm sure any company making statues is assessing what sells and what's DOA.

Being that they are big players in the JL line up and with so many companies doing versions of them, it reall boils down to finding the right pose that is not derivative. you do a running flash and everybody says, oh look another running pose. Museum pose, oh the costume looks great but the pose is so boring. It's a fine line.

More options the better.
Just hope they can deliver me a Flash, Aquaman and Nightwing.

Nightwing's ass is legit gonna break the internet.

Timing is essential. Tons of companies out there and collectors are limited just like their finances.

I know international buyers have been dealing with taxes on their statues forever but it is a shock for most US collectors. I definitely think twice about purchase once you factor in the tax and shipping on big items.

When Deathstroke gets done, I think the only costume will be the perez one.

I must say it was a perfect storm that caused a reevaluation of how businesses solicit. The spread of COVID was and is quite an eye opener on the fragility of the economy and ecology.

He did say he was thinking about folding up shop with this but then had a change of heart and pressed forward but he also did say that if there weren’t enough orders for a statue for it to be profitable for him he would cancel the orders which is something you cannot blame the guy for.
And if you look at his website the last statue that is listed as a SuperPowers line statue is Batgirl.

Lots of mediation and a retreat helped re-center him.

I asked Ant from PCS why does he bother he didn't know why i would think he got to try and get what he paid for PCS and what jerry took. I think he dosen't like this industry much
as i wrote i think
Bizarro
Krypto
SW
Samurai
WT
and who know how many others wont get made

He is absolutely honest and not a scammer. Some people phrase things in such a way to make it seem like he is absent or has taken their deposits and run away to live on an island. Not the case. We on the forums and on other social media only hear what we are inquiring about. There are others that don't belong on here that also are making inquiries, suggestions, and just plain want to talk and say thank you by email and it's a lot of work. It's tough sometimes to balance and make every one happy.

License is three years so you won't get a five year plan
