Hi to all
Its great to be able to introduce to you a new Russian company the name is
As the name implies they like busts but ones that tell a story and ones that really do come to life in your hands , that's where the name came from "Bust" and "Story" ..simple but effective.
Where does the ideas come from ...cinema , books and many other human cultures.
The choice of the 1st release is the subject of the film

I present:
The streets of New York were rife with gangs and gang warfare no more so than in the mid 19th century , amongst one of the most famous is William (Bill) Poole .
But who was William Poole
William Poole (July 24, 1821 – March 8, 1855), also known as Bill the Butcher and Bill the Butcher Poole, was the founder of the street gang the Bowery Boys and a leader of the KNow Nothing political movement in mid-19th century New York.
Poole trained as a butcher as was his father but gang warfare was born into him and after a bitter feud with the irishman gangster John Morrissey he was shot on 25th Feb 1855 dying of the wounds on the 8th March that year.( a new tombstone was erected in 2004 )
His lifestyle was the the subject of the 2002 film directed by Martin Scorsese called Gangs of New York , he was inspired to direct the film after reading the 1928 book by Herbert Asbury "Gangs of New York" which led onto the sequel "All around the Town" he has also written other crime/gang related books.
The film set in 1863 starred amongst others Daniel Day-Lewis as Bill but for the film the name was changed to Bill Cutting with him living past the actual day Poole died , an action packed film , rather bloody for obvious reasons and a good watch.
