Well done on the new site Jerry - looks good and more importantly gets you to the product detail quickly.
Visually I think you have such rich imagery that a full width header and hero image, at least on the homepage, would give more impact and is a shame that this hasn't been hit as a target for the design.
From an end user point of view, and because of the nature of your product range and how infrequently it increases, I also would have gone with a meganav similar to Amazon for the nav, separating everything into obvious sections under one roof.
This would resolve the redundant duplication of the few products you have on the site for the interim, as every nav link pretty much leads to the same landing page of items. So you could really minimise the redundant links, tweak the layout of the elements and reduce the height of the header area to pull the content further up the page with ease here.
And the email sign up is too prominent in the header as it stands, taking the same weight on the page as the search feature.
The homepage could have a carousel of new products rather than 3 rows of them, allowing you to add much needed reassurance elements on the homepage, like how to buy, payment security or even featured articles/reviews of your products.
Finally, why I understand the simple layout approach of not including the product title, as most of your customers will know exactly what they are looking for from the image alone, having the name and its format, i.e. bust, premium format etc, makes it even more obvious to the consumer to help them narrow down their browsing time on the site, especially as your catalogue expands.
The product detail page is really good, though the price/exclusive tag and title are all competing for space at the moment, when you have a lot of space underneath with the tags/edition size/pre-order status etc so think that could be refined. But the way they've put together so much content on one page is great, because its necessary detail so they've given it a good structure, i.e. title/price/status > payment type and add to cart > description > specs and finally backstory is the perfect order.
The basket and checkout however seem pulled straight from a template in style and layout, so these could definitely do with some work and at least on the checkout process, some reassurance/payment methods etc info would be useful.
All in all though a marked improvement for sure!

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet?
A 360 degrees view of the statue like Sideshow do or still do? Haven't gone on their website or brought from them in ages!

Coincidentally, they haven't done that in ages.
It was a really nice and useful feature, though, if time-consuming, I guess.
