Hello, everyone.

This is the new thread for the Halloween '78 Laurie Strode project. The initial thread was started by Amstel (SSF), but things have changed and it is now being run by myself, and my good friend, Papasmoak (SSF).

This will be a limited run of H&C (Head and clothing) sets, accompanied with a COA (Certificate of authenticity). It is also in the plans to have a few extra unpainted head sculpts available for those who might be interested in just the sculpt. At this point in time, I am not opposed to the idea of a full set release, but it would largely depend on what artists we end up getting on board for accessories and such. Aside from making this as great as it can be, I want it to also remain as affordable as possible.


CAINE PRODUCTIONS:

Caine will supposedly begin working on the sculpt around March. We are going for ONE version of Laurie, and it will be sculpted bald for the addition of real hair. Once Caine finishes the sculpt, the pics will be posted here. Once I get the castings in hand, I will begin work on a painted prototype complete with real hair.


PAINT AND HAIR:

I have stated before that I am down for painting and hairing a limited number of sculpts. I initially said I didn't want to do anymore than 10 myself, but those 10 spots filled up very quickly, and so I said I'd do a few more. I do not want this number to exceed 15, otherwise I'm gonna want to put a gun in my mouth. I'm only one guy, and I simply don't have the time to commit to that amount of work on top of my regular commission work. With that said, I have plans to recruit another artist to help me handle the workload. It will be someone who's skill I stand behind.

*Heads will come unpainted unless specified otherwise
*Unpainted sculpts will come as BALD ONLY!



YUNSIL/TORIBOX:

I have spoken with Yunsil, and we can submit an order as soon as we have a deposit ready. I will leave this up to you all when you want this to happen. I know some people feel better throwing down after they've seen a finished sculpt. We could also say "screw it", and start collecting deposits in order to reserve a better spot with her. Seriously, I am pretty lax, and I will leave this up to you. This outfit needs to be perfect, so we are of course opting for a prototype with room for revisions.

The estimated cost for the outfit per set will be determined once the deposits are in. This will ensure you have secured your spot, and the run will then close. In my email exchanges with Yunsil, it appears for 10 sets the price would be around $315usd. This price lowers with the more people we have on board. It would be ideal for us to get around 20 or so solid, dedicated heads. It was also mentioned that the price is subject to change, depending on the quality of the fabric and what is available to them. For now, I hope this is enough to give you an idea.


OUTFIT:

-Navy blue sweater
-Baby blue shirt
-Bell bottom jeans


H&C:

*Unpainted head sculpt will be $75usd.

*Deposit for the outfit will most likely be $100usd, with the remainder due once Yunsil is ready to begin production. At this time, the run will be closed.

*Prices DO NOT include shipping costs.


ACCESSORIES:

I'm afraid this is up in the air at the moment. I will update as I iron out the details.


PACKAGING and COA:

Amstel previously spoke to Ironhed577 about helping us out with a cool finished package and COA's. He provided all of this for the Dr. Loomis run, and it was pretty fantastic. Truly the icing on the cake. I'm so happy to have him on board as long as he can fit it in his schedule.

Still in for everything pal. And thanks for taking over the order.

Decisions, decisions regarding the painting of the head sculpt...was always going to send it to 8-bit but seeing as that would be three head sculpts that I would be sending to him I may lighten his load and ask that you paint and hair Laurie.
 
Hey, folks. Little update... I've spoken with Caine, and he's working on our Laurie sculpt. Soon we will have pics, and if you are all on board with the sculpt, we'll start collecting an initial deposit to get a spot in line with Yunsil. If you haven't been sleeping under a rock, you know she's very backed up. Regardless, she's the only one I want to make the clothing for us. I'm willing to wait for perfection. I hope you are too.

You know I'm stoked! :hi5:

Here's the expression Caine is going for: strode sculpt idea.jpg

He may also be sculpting the platform shoes she wears with this outfit, here are some photos of the shoes I gave to Caine for reference: strode shoes 2.jpg

If this is still happenng, I'd love to get just the head for a Trading Places custom.

Yes, this project is still happening. A body is being sent to Caine so he can sculpt it to fit and be proportioned correctly. The body we are going for is the Pepper Potts body which can be a little tougher to aquire but felt it was the best choice for Strode.
 
Thanks for updating, Papasmoak! Yeah. Sorry, folks. Things are moving slow. But it is still happening. Caine will have the body shortly. Sorry for the delay and lack of updates. Yunsil is so backed up anyway, that it got a little discouraging. It's not like she's gonna get any less busy, so as soon as we have the sculpt, we'll start getting the outfit squared away.

No problem. This project will start moving forward in the beginning of the new year.
