All quiet on the forum front so here's a question for you Imperial collectors:
From an earlier thread it was clear to me that people agree that David Cowe is an incredibly talented sculptor, (and Kay an equally impressive painter), and that it would be a "good thing" if he could concentrate his efforts on sculpting rather than production/manufacture of figures, especially given their limited capacity and sunset situation.
My question is this, if a new range were to be in the pipeline (don't read anything into this, I do not have any information and do not know the Cowes well enough that they would share it with me if there was any) should David concentrate on Military or Civilian figures?
Example - expanding town and around or C18th civilians, or say an extension to Napoleonics, or even a new range (Nelson at Trafalgar?... NW Frontier?...) retiring out some of the old ones?
My preference would be for Military as I consider them to be two quite separate markets and don't see myself in the civilian collecting zone, but its something that clearly has some demand.
Of course my ideal solution is that the Cowes continue for a practically impossible time period into the future and do everything fabulously but we need to visit planet earth from time to time.
Interested in your thoughts.
