Message from Jerry Macaluso:
“As PCS nears it’s 10th Anniversary, I would like to thank all of our fans and customers for your unwavering support, as without you we wouldn’t be the Company we are today.
PCS started in my garage as a side project that allowed me to sculpt and produce small runs of my favorite Street Fighter characters. It was never intended to become a ‘real’ company, but because of the great demand and support for our collectibles, we have grown into just that. That brings me to the meat of this press release.
As many people know, I am first and foremost a designer and sculptor, so my passion lies in the art, not the business side of PCS. Therefore, effective immediately, I will be stepping down from the business side of PCS to focus on what I do best, acting as Creative Director.
I am very pleased to introduce to our collector base and the industry in general, Anthony Adams and Mark Martin. Anthony will be the new CEO/CFO and Head of Licensing. Mark will be the new VP of Sales, Distribution and Customer Service. Anthony and Mark bring a combined 30+ years of business, customer service and sale experience. Please see below a message from the new CEO.”
Message from Anthony Adams:
“I am very honored to be a part of this great Company. I look forward to handling the business side of PCS with Mark to help free up Jerry to focus on all the art of PCS. It amazed me the amount of work Jerry was juggling. Just envision a one person band playing every instrument at once, but instead of instruments its sculpting tools, accounting, customer service, etc. More than one person can handle.
Mark and I have a lot in store for PCS. There is a lot of work that we need to do that we will attack in phases. This includes more transparency to our great customers, better customer service, quicker delivery and a new website to name a few. We still have a lot of work to do around customer service and the rest of the business so please bear with us as these changes won’t happen overnight.
Lastly, I am proud to announce our new Facebook PCS Collectors Group as a first step towards more transparency and more interaction with our fans. This new page will have exclusive previews, videos (check out the new exclusive “Making of 1/3 Chun Li” video) and allow us to interact directly with our fans. Mark and I look forward to working with Jerry and to this great journey ahead.”
