Makes you wonder what?

80% of the items are listed as 0 in stock.

Did you ask Matt from HB at the show this past weekend about this, he's the sole US Figarti agent.

These figures have been out for a long time now only on the Chinese Market. The Rommel is redo of a previous figure, the others are what they are. I have said this til blue in the face - the ship left the port, these guys are going to make 1 or 2 things a year at this rate and that is not even guaranteed. Honestly, IMO it is a waste of time.

And to cite an example of why I say that. I was contacted about 7 months ago about buying a K5 b/c they had me on an old list of Rick's to buy one. I kindly replied thanks ,but in the interim I had already bought one on the secondary market! However, they had a number of other items I would like to buy listed in China and I would be happy to buy them. 1 week goes by crickets, emailed back 2-3 more times..............crickets..............crickets. SO, my conclusion, if you take the time to try and sell me a K5 which is made to order, it certainly would not take any more effort or time to process a $1000 plus order for DEAD STOCK you are dumping in China.

End of story - no business sense Equals NO BUSINESS.

These figures are not particularly attractive and the odd mix makes me think that the new management thinks like the old.

Agree these figures have been out for a couple of years now but you got no chance of buying from them

George:

I talked to Matt at the show and he says that Figarti continues to search for money/capital/investors in order to produce more "new" items.

Always a good idea to buy a company when you've got zero working capital behind you.

Who in their right mind would front them money for anything; if they can't do it themselves, then maybe it's time to call it a day.

Figarti has never been good at making figures that is not their forte.....But... They are VERY GOOD at 1:30th scale WWII AFV's.....Figarti's latest Camoflage Panther sold by Hobbybunker is simply EXCELLENT and reasonably priced as well:salute:::salute:::salute::......Don't Miss out on that latest Panther i believe it is still available from HB for under $250.....I bought 2 of them....Simply Excellent.

Agreed, I just bought a Figarti Panther from Matt at Texas Show last week and it's terrific! Well detailed and painting scheme is hard to beat! The product photos suck! The panther tank is truly one of there best and compares with anything on the market.

Okay, that's where my complements end! As a "going concern", it lacks anything resembling a business today. We all lament the good old days when Rick Wang ran things there; it's only been 3-4 years since then but seems more like 10 years or more. He was a visionary and showman with integrity...Alas, those good old Figarti days are in the past.

Yup, nail on head Carlos! As I said, my post is very telling of what is going on. I wish Steven Chong was posting, boy I am sure he could put it in a few priceless words!!!!!!!
