O.K. I don't usually particisipate in these things, but in my quest to find the best item at the least expensive price I ran across this company in the U.K.  This probably isn't going to qualify for cost effective in any shape or form, but the examples I saw on their site were akin to small sculptures. They only seem to manufacture on order after a 25% down payment is made. I didn't see any price listing, so I'm sure it's going to run kinda high. If anyone has done business with this company please e-mail me with info that I couldn't find out on site.
