I don't know if this is old news, but I just learned that Peipp Miniatures has closed.

Their website now just shows a page announcing that proprietors Helmut and Marianne are retiring and closing the business:

I don't know but I hope that they sell their molds and masters and the line can continue. They have an excellent catalog of figures in their unique style. It would be a shame if they're gone for good.

That's sad, if - as Nap pointed out - understandable after 45 years in the business. I've always liked their really unique figures and topics.
