I really wanted him to do the Ken 1/3 and lifesize bust. Ah well what will never be.

Basically, that PCS was their 'favored' producer... that Capcom wanted Jerry to represent them in statue form... etc.

What do they think now that Jerry is gone? Do they care? Are PCS still favored? What do they think of ant's art direction?

Who sold more Street Fighter statues than PCS...? Exactly.

In investment banking, we have a term for that, and most people who did this are in jail, not starting a new company.

Oh my, can't believe I missed this!

I bet he's after the premium 1/12 scale action figure market, in the likes of Mezco and Storm Collectibles ($70-120). There's profit to be made there. For a guy that hates business, he can't help himself in starting new companies, eh?

Would Capcom just hand him a SF license like that again? I'd like to see these Darkstalkers figures dusted off and produced.

But no way would I ever buy direct from this guy again. I'm not taking on the risk anymore.

Found this interesting link. SDCC 2006 SOTA toys booth, with some interesting insights from the "big kahuna" himself. As usual blaming the factories.

If Jerry is selling the company because the future of statues does not look too good, then it is not so good

The English in this thread is hurting my head.

So to sum up the answer to this question;

A) Big shot Jerry
B) Makes plans for his next company
C) Holds meetings with China factories
D) Takes preorders for new product, buys next Ferrari and misses product deadlines constantly
E) Tells customers it is China's fault
F) Sells off company to part ways over creative differences. Has better plan to start fresh with a brand new company to make it look like things have changed....

Reaction of former customers.....

I'm sure he's doing his best. Can't be easy when English isn't your first language.
