Yea. I was referring to the previous ones they used to do, but yes, these last ones have been larger in size. I imagine these new ones appeal to larger statue collectors. I just don't see why they can't do both. Keep doing one 1/5 scale a year and add a couple of the smaller scales diorama, so we can get more than one Diorama a year and some character variety.

Size doesn't really dictate speed with most sculptors going digital, unless it's life size which in some cases is still done traditionally.

I think it's more artists available vs projects in the pipeline.

I get it, that's not quite where I was going though. I was Just saying more of all it. More Dioramas in general, more of the other scale Dioramas as well, and more other characters in all these Dioramas.

I get you. Believe me I like Life Size Busts but they haven't made as many of those as they used to either.

The Layaway Plan is what used to be the Flex Plan, yes. Still works the same way. You get the piece once every payment is made.

The new one is called the "Get It Now" plan. It's like a credit card ...you get the piece now and you pay for it monthly until paid off. This works only with pieces already in stock.

I noticed that some time ago too.
Can not lookup older sold out products on their website anymore, even when you know the exact name or art.number.
That was helpfull feature in the past (you could vink "search archive / sold out statues", but can't find it anymore and searching old art.nr doesn't work either on sideshow website.

For about two years im using specific google search description to get linked to webpage and then some of the quite old statues still can be found on original sideshow website. But alot of them are gone??

Old information about all products of the past is still helpfull to collectors.
Like measuments/ES/switch-outs/original price etc..
