Sadly, it does not bode well for statue companies in general moving forward. Prices have reached a tipping point with too many fans, statues have virtually no resellability, there aren't enough new fans joining to replace those leaving, licenses are too expensive, people are running out of display space, shipping prices are huge, and perhaps most importantly, there are far too many options available so there's no urgency to buy. Many people just wait for sales or buy in the aftermarket at a vast discount. The cost/enjoyment ratio is too off balance too. Would you want to invest in a statue company right now? Probably not. Harsh reality setting in, and it isn't pretty.
