The China produced statues are a separate issue and I have seen the update thread on them but when it comes to the in house statues and busts ARH should consider how the customer feels when it has taken a year or two to get a statue that was originally promised to be delivered just a couple months after full payment.
As a back-ordered customer I have no issue with you over mold manufacturing and casting of the kits unless you are Abrahom's sole supplier of in house statues and my statues are put on a back burner so fresh kits can be sold and shipped before my statues. I bet all other older customers with statues waiting off of this list would feel the same. There is no reason why you or ARH couldn't get deposits for later production of the kits but fill the back orders first please......

I totally agree with you and I too am frustrated with some of the decisions that ARH has made over the years. I am coming into the issue after all those things have been done and it sucks to not be able to do anything about it.
Anything that has been ordered I have already cast and given to Arahom to now build and paint so they are all in his hands at this point. Now I am just trying to get some kits going to generate some money for myself not ARH studios.
I am painting some of the new bust orders at my own studio but all the older statues on back order are with Arahom at his studio.
Painting a statue can take days if not weeks, while pouring a kit can be done in a couple hours.
