What a great idea.
Let go back to the inferior likenesses and sub-par paint app's of the past. Let's go back to the cheap [both in cost and appearance], black, generic bases of the past with the creative and artistic appeal of cardboard. Let's go back to the ridiculously high, or even worse, open editions of the past. Let's go back to the part-time collectible company that produces about a dozen collectibles [across all lines!] per year.......now that is great thinking.
So let's see if I have this straight. The company you want to take over the 1/6 scale statue line has:
1]. Released
one statue [Gandalf] in their own 'character' line in two years....and they butchered the colour scheme.
2]. Released
one minishield/lapel pin in last two+ years.
3]. Released
zero John Howe middle-earth statues in almost two years.
4]. Released
zero crowns/tiara's from a line they announced two and a half years ago
5]. Released
five environments in just under two years.
And this from a company that only carries a handful of licences to begin with....does that about sum it up?
