Here is a copy paste answer to a question posed to us by a fellow Jaws fan. My offer for suggestions extends to all that wish to share their ideas with Cathy & I. We want the best for everyone, help us out with your thoughts friends☺. Here's my initial response below: Not sure how to make things even more affordable than they already are for these massive custom [shark] displays. But we are ALWAYS open to good ideas. Here's what we have done so far over the last ten years, feel free to jump in and help us out to know better what can be done. Because more sharks out the door is truly GOOD for everyone☺. ** Foremost we are still FAR MORE affordable than anyone else copycatting us. I still use that term 'copycatting us' since I have in print actual screen-grabbed admissions by the actual copy-catters to me that they have indeed used our products & business style, and our products name & accessories etc all... to make their own stuff more 'marketable'. Pretty much just about every single thing I have been saying since April 2015's been dead-on truth...☺ **Also we have offered Layaway plans all decade called Interest-Free Flex Pay Plans for those that find it difficult to simply save up for things. Not much fun for Cathy all that extra work every day keeping up the books for people and communicating with them, but we try to do what we can for folks that need the added help. ** Also we have been hovering at late 1990's to early 2000's prices [as compared to SideShow and other producers prices for similar sized products in the early 2000's]. Yet I must add we don't outsource to Mexico or China slave labor like the other bigname producers. We do it all in our FX shop ourselves. We create and design and mold and cast and assemble and paint & detail and ship each and every item ourselves. That's 7 days a week, 12 to 14 hour days. **Also we have lowered prices all decade as we have upgraded equipment and learned new techniques; instead of getting any raises. Another win-win for everyone else☺. **And we are even lowering our prices on many of the 2019 sharks about to release. Over the last 10 years close to 6.4 thousand people have discovered us and now own their own customized sharks. IF you [or ANYONE] has any realistic ways to make things more affordable for customers and for Cathy & I then believe you me, we are sure interested in hearing them.☺ We know that we have not discovered everything possible just yet and are not yet perfect. So this is a standing offer for anyone that has any suggestions for us. The goal of more sharks out to fans is a win-win-win for EVERYBODY☺.

Further info will be released once we go to molding and run a few of them to nail down materials and labor expenses to then price them up for everyone.
SUCH FUN! What a joy to run BIG Sharks again☺! |
