I would say that the FIW is quite popular right now, both from what I read in this forum, from what I see on E-bay and from what several manufacturers are doing at the moment, that is bringing up more and more new product for this period. I have no hard data though.

Let's hope there are enough collectors that will buy all the new product coming onto the market, and I am not restricting this comment to JJD as there will soon be a glut of sets the way the manufacturers are spitting them out. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing.

At my local shop where I went hundreds of time, there are dozens of JJD sets.... and those are collecting dusts... I have never bought even one of those JJD guys because... of how their face was looking..... yes they do like prehistorical guys... but then I agree that they re very expressive.. more than vast majority of K&C figures... However, I've bought hundreds of K&C figures and not a single JJD ? Why... only because of the way the faces were depicted... but then I'm the kind of collector who will buy or not a figure depending on how well the face is done.. also if the proportions are off (like a forearm same length as an arm)... I will not buy.. I'm sure I'm not alone in this basket.. But then JJ has many years to come to improve and and I will have many $$$ to spend on those when the faces will look more realistic... more realistic doesnt mean less expressive... it only means that there are some proportions in homo sapiens sapiens that sculptors should follow if they re into making something realistic.. However, poses of JJD are top notch !

Mark,

It's Boutique D'Artagnan located in Montreal but they don't have a website and you can't order online.

Cheers,

Alex
