I can understand the 10 green Medusas that were fixed. But I think the jump from 50 to 70 rattlesnake editions was kind of odd. An ES shouldn't even be posted if you are going to change it. Most people on these forums are more willing to jump on a statue with a set and low ES. Personally, and I am sure this goes for others, even you Averone, I get very disappointed after ordering a limited edition statue and then find out that the ES has been changed.
Who here thinks that the addition of another 20 is going to make a huge impact on how rare this Rattle is?
I collect too, and am very experienced collector. The edition of another 20 is not going to change the demand on this statue at all. If we did another 100 or 200 maybe, but in reality it matters very little.
Lets take an example from the SS page, if Hulk PF was announced at 200 and they only made 100 for some reason and a few years later came back to make the rest, would we be upset? Yes, we would but thats their right as they told us they will make 200.
Now SS, would never do that, they have money and security.
ARH Studios is in its infancy right now, and we learn as we go.
We did this ES for our fans, Im sure many of them are more than grateful.
I am not saying what your saying has no validation, but we value the gain of these new customers and/or supporting of our prior loyal ones much more than worry about those who do not wish to buy from us because they do not like this practice. We are acting within our means and right to make the rest of our Medusas.
I have said it many times, its a struggle for a small company to gain momentum, and we must take advantage of what we have to gain strength. To bring out new statues is not easy, money is tough to come by these days as everyone know, and we are no exception to the rule of making it.
Arahom and I set our standards high and we bend over backwards to make sure that each and everyone of you who buy from us are taken care of at the end.
I want to see any producer come on these forums and stay in touch with their customers like I do, I think many of you know we are a very resilient bunch and we are not going to discount our customers in any way, but at the end of the day its about staying alive and profitable so we have to make the tough decisions.
I hope you understand that this comment was directed to everyone and not directly to you Blackqueen. Thank your for stating the fact, I am sure Arahom will read this and take note in our future endeavors.
This will be my last explanation. From now on, direct your questions direct to ARH Studios email: [email protected]
