Their Premium Format Figures are all statues. "Premium Format Figures" is the name the line for their 1/4 scale mixed media statues.

Companies don't hold onto licenses perpetually, unless they are the originator of the brand. The reason you're not seeing 12" horror action figures from them is likely because they don't hold the license to do so. A license to make statues doesn't equal a license to make action figures.

As new people are brought into companies and modeling and sculpting techniques evolve and change, they like to revisit earlier characters to offer new takes on them. Also, with older items out of circulation, it makes good business sense to offer those characters as new items. Not all customers were around when the original came out and this gives newer customers and older fans alike the chance to get Sideshow's version of a character, in this case Jason.
