Dear Edorta,
I personally agree with you about the fact that the production goes too much on the mainstream subjects. On our personal history, as you can see by looking to our catalogue, we have produced not only french and english subjects...but also Italians, Austrians, prussians, Bavarians, Brunswick, Russians. I'm speaking about all our productions, specially the "old" 54mm one.
Well...our personal balance from this experience is that, at the end, the "answer" from the modelers is different. We, sadly, do not have so great possibilities to make "experiments"...and all the times we stop and think about to make, just for example, a portuguese or a danish subject instead than the "usual" french one...we go everytime back on the main road.
Years ago we have made a small serie of Brunswick figures in 54mm....3 or 4 figures....well....none of them, despite their very good artistical and technical realization, reached the same sellings of a french or english subject. I arrive also to write the following "strong" words eh eh eh.......sometime also from the producer and the sculptor side could be boring to realize the same or similar subjects. But what you see in the end is always the consequence of "market feelings" that right or wrong are the result of every producer's experience and possibility.
This point of view can fits with all the historical periods, not only the napoleonic. Despite this Pegaso tried a lot in the past to make "alternative" subjects. Sometime we try also now....
Zero "polemic" willings from my side
....just a friendly consideration that not always we choose in a complete free way what to produce.
Pietro
