I
regret to open our regular feature with some very bad news: Figurines magazine is
no more.

The unexpected closure (though something had been in the air for at least a year) was
due to the adverse financial condition of publisher Histoire & Collection.
This may sound like good news for Soldatini, at least in terms of sales. Maybe those
who find themselves deprived of Figurines can decide to buy our magazine... Nothing
further from the truth.
My words may surprise you, since I am part of the competition, yet they are weighed
and heartfelt to the last letter.
From a professional point of view, the news is a bad omen. People no longer buy books
and magazines and this is bound to negatively affect anyone who is part of this world.
Having "rivals" means that the market is vast and vital, that there are many enthusiasts
that support our passion. It is not a good thing to be the last ones standing with a maga-
zine in print, it means that the readers interested in figure modelling are reduced to a
minimum.
True, Figurines never wanted to translate its magazine into another language, sticking
solely to French. It also refused to "go digital". Yet it is also true that it had a giant of
the scale modelling word as a publisher, and now this publisher has shut down.
From a personal point of view, I am sad. I have all the issues of the French magazine
from the very first, all bound in the smart green collectors with red lettering. I shall miss
reading its latest issue and consulting its plates.
It really is terrible news, I have lost count of all the magazines I have seen cease publi-
cation over twenty years of my passion. Every time a piece of our magical world came
falling down, but we and our French cousins weathered every storm, trying to find new
ways to survive.
Perhaps it is time to move on, to let the web devour the old publishing houses, this web
that constantly offers new information and input for free. Then again, we may risk
losing some professionalism, especially as far as the depth of content is concerned.
I hope not, I hope that the two things can find a balance and coexist, I hope to receive
input from the web and enrich and enhance it on a magazine.
Speaking of which, I want to send an appeal to those who collaborated with Figurines
or any other magazine and to anyone willing to contribute. Soldatini is open to all, there
are no filters except for the quality standard we work very hard to pursue in order to
offer a product that is worth buying and to give the contributions we receive their due.
Whether you are painters, writers, illustrators, manufacturers, collectors, please send us
emails and letters, contact us through our Facebook as well. We are here ready to listen
to you and to welcome you.
I want to end on an upbeat note. H&C's official statement announces that the publishing
house will probably reopen soon with a new management and some restructuring. I
hope so, and we all hope that Figurines will be part of the future plans of the new owner.
Vive Figurines, long live Figurines!
Un abbraccio
