GREAT NEWS!!! As many of you know a hostility has been growing between our two companies since April 2015. An unnecessary rivalry that has heaped stress and anxiety on both sets of artists. Well we are DELIGHTED to announce that following private conversations things are going to change. Apologies have been exchanged and an agreement has been made to move forward with a healthy, positive and honest relationship towards each others creative designs. We are coordinating many of our soon releasing product ideas with each other so as to avoid any further friction. What that means for the Jaws Fan community is more amazing products, greater variety and, who knows, maybe even a collaborative piece! We four all thank you so much for your continued support and we earnestly encourage any division among friends, fans & collectors to also be healed. If we can bury the hatchet then just about anyone can☺. THE FUTURE'S BRIGHT!!! Mike & Cathy, Martin & Matt

First let us share that more than just Cathy & I are about to rock almost every corner of the Jaws Fan Community with NEWS that is almost COSMIC in scale! This news may be releasing as soon as days, maybe even next week. All corners of known Jawsdom will feel the impact.
Secondly, in addition to said coming news, we would like to now reveal just what Top-Secret activity that we have been up to these last few years in order to be able to SLASH PRICES on ALL SHARKS beginning in 2019!! For the last few years we have worked pretty much every single day towards one single-minded goal. This being the ability to kind of semi-retire while still supplying shark collectibles. In a nutshell, over the last 9 years we have purchased, renovated and flipped multiple fixer-uppers. And starting just a few days after wrapping our part of pre-production for providing Practical FX Sharks for a feature film releasing summer 2019 we again packed up our belongings and workshops/storage buildings and moved away from Texas. We now live only a few miles down the road from Cathy's parents in BEAUTIFUL North Carolina. Incidentally they are our newest sharkcityozark help when needed! Everyone please welcome Jerry & Sherry. Also, they happen to be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this week too friends!☺! So back to the point, our logic of the matter I am explaining is this. When you create and mass produce products you have to factor in ALL expenses. When it costs months and months of invested labor and thousands of dollars in development and materials to release a Bruce Shark product then you can't just sell them for $5 each or you go broke. So, you add up investment + labor + materials and arrive at what you must sell each shark for to earn a living from your work. EVERYTHING about creating and providing our Bruce Shark Collectibles is expensive. We purchase boxes and bubble wrap by the truckloads here. Palettes and pallets of boxes. Thousands of feet of tape. Bubble-wrap rolls as big as a car! What we have accomplished over the last decade, by the Grace & Mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ and some good old fashioned elbow grease, via restoring and flipping houses + 6 Film-Credits, + Shark Sales - - - is to ELIMINATE one of the TOP EXPENSES in producing Bruce Sharks. As of 2 weeks ago we can now live DEBT-FREE! We now own where we live! So no longer do we have to figure in HUGE mortgage payments into our monthly survival budget price per shark! Bottom line for EVERYONE is that we can now DROP PRICES on ALL BRUCE SHARKS starting 2019!!! We still have to earn a living. We still spend MANY thousands of dollars monthly on materials. Everything still takes time for us to create from scratch and provide, but now we can do so far more affordably! CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE, WE ALL GET A RAISE!!! The only drawback folks is that our new home, workshops and storage facilities are a mega-serious set of FIXERUPPERS left sitting vacant since early 2015. To summarize, this is our second week living here and only now do we finally have power, heat, and for short periods of time, water to most areas. We have a great deal of repair work to do before we can live here normally instead of under these “camping” conditions. Rest assured the delay on the release of our ALL NEW 2 & 3 foot long Bruce Shark products looks to be only a matter of weeks or less from today. A small delay for a HUGE win-win for everyone. We will lose out on the Holiday sales for the first time in 11 years, but this chance to live debt free and be able to SLASH ALL OF OUR FUTURE PRICES will more than make up for our losses in the long run. But wait there's more. Don't forget there is another IMPEDING STELLAR NEWS RELEASE about to hit all Jaws Fandom. Don't stray too far from your favorite social media Jaws Fan page, you really don't want to be late to the party for what's about to be shared next. Thank you friends, Mike & Cathy Schultz SCO  As advertised for a long time now we have some most EXCELLENT New products FINALLY releasing. From the ALL NEW Open Sided Bruce Shark[s] promised since 2016 [in 2 scales], to the ALL NEW 3 Foot FULL ATTACK POSE Bruce and Meg-White Sharks!
-- As reported earlier we were delayed this year with a floating schedule change moving up our Practical FX work for a feature Shark film releasing Summer 2019! Also, we promised info on the BIGGEST SURPRISE of all, our ALL NEW LOWER PRICES combined with our ALL NEW 2019 dozen new Bruce & Sequel Shark products on mechanical arm display stands. ** Can some of you out there PLEASE remind us all how long we have been advertising the All New Open Sided Bruce Sharks? - The primary reason for our 2 month delay in revealing this information about our new lower prices is actually the full reason how we are able to LOWER our shark prices in 2019! Everyone will see soon enough. This is to be the MOST EXCITING detail of our next post. Coming up soon. You guys will love it. What's not to love? All New Sharks, All New LOWER prices, another FX film credit..... Things just keep getting better and better and better and better☺☺☺ Stay Tuned friends!
"Well, he’s finally arrived after a week in UK customs! Thank you SO much Mike V. Schultz and your wife Cathy for such a piece of absolute awesomeness (Jawsomeness actually) It’s fantastic that you guys made this possible. This will be my most treasured piece of Jaws memorabilia. He’s perfect in every way and worth every penny. These photos don’t even do him full justice (so much better in the flesh and a real sight to behold) Now all I need is my Quint model to go with him (hopefully scale) a couple of barrels (just ordered) and another Jaws poster as a backdrop (on its way).
Stunning!! Every Jaws finatic should have one of these." Thank you Mark! Your display looks incredible!! |
