1/6 scale full figure of O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) from the "Kill Bill" movie

[Oleksandr]

Dear Sirs,

This is an "interest check" post to see how many collectors interested in getting 1/6 scale figure of O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) from the "Kill Bill" movie.


Figure will be produced by UnleashedViper Customs Creations. Here is an example of their's work:

To be more precise about possible prices, here is the info:
USD 500 is the initial sculpt's price (will be created manually, so this is not just a 3D-print)!
The good idea is to split that price among all intrested persons.
Full figure price will be USD 250-300 w/o shipment (ofc, if we get 10+ interested).

Thus, total price corresponds to the following formula:
250-300 + 500/number_of_interested + shipment to your country
In other words, price personally for me will be (if we can find 4 more interested persons and they also will be ready to pay theirs portion for initial sculpt's creation): 250-300 + 500/10 + 55 (shipment to Ukraine) = USD 355-405

P.S. You have probably already know that some time ago 1/6 O-Ren Ishi ("YAKUZA QUEEN") figure was released by iMINIme (its price was USD 400+), but now its almost impossible to get that figure and price is absolutely terrific (> 1000 USD). We can even find YAKUZA QUEEN selling proposition from Jul 2014 on this forum (price was 500 EUR shipped).
Thus, now we have a chance to get similar figure and even for better price

P.P.S. I'm also interested in getting 1/6 scale Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) + Joan Watson (Lucy Liu) figures from the Elementary TV series, but by some reason I'm sure that there will be not so many interested as for O-Ren Ishi...

Thanks for your attention,

Interested list (1/6 O-Ren Ishi):

1. Oleksandr Navrotskyi
2. Elgreco
3. Daniel Yun
4. Ita Kibashi
5. siquisiri (headsculpt + white kimono /depending on price/)
6. davejames (headsculpt + black kimono)
7. take9
8.
9.
10.

I think you must become a 'Premium Member' to sell.

I don't want to sell anything. I want to order/buy But making such figure only for me would cost at least USD 700, which I can't afford (according to information, provided to me by https://www.facebook.com/messages/t/UnleashedViper1.6). This is interest check post, I do not "sell". If we find 9 or more interested persons, figure's price will become almost two times lower, which is still high, but at least acceptable.

Yes, by iMinime. I written about this in the initial post. And all who could afford that figure seems already got it. I could not afford it that days, now there is another possibility to re-create it by different custom figures vendor. I see only "pluses" here. Its kinda HT makes some fig. and then Sideshow and vice versa. As for me its always better to have options than just stick to smth. "classic" (especially taking into account that iMinime is not going to re-issue that figure and that iMinime O-Ren Ishi's figure had no perfect sculpt, tbh).

Here is a good example of re-design/re-issue (ofc, imho):
done yeras ago

available for pre-order now

P.S. Notice that both figs. produced by the same vendor - Sideshow

We have 3 interested persons atm. Better than before, but we need 7 more to let the project begin.

Good, only sculpt? Should I put you into the list with that remark?

 

[Oleksandr]

Re: 1/6 scale full figure of O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) from the "Kill Bill" movie

Ok, anyways. We have 5 interested so far (4 - full figure, 1 - headsculpt-only).

Re: 1/6 scale full figure of O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) from the "Kill Bill" movie

Here are some photos of the outfit (made by UnleashedViper Customs Creations before). All-white version looks authentic to O-Ren Ishi's outfit in the movie, but white/silver is also good

UnleashedViper Customs Creations gave me these pics and agreed to share with you.

I also asked whether we can do this project as "headsculpt+outfit+sword" (as I know that there are lots of collectors who prefer to have seamless body for figure - TBLeague/Phicen). Answer was - yes!

Thus, please also comment if you interested in getting headsculpt/outfit and/or headsculpt-only of O-Ren Ishi.





Honestly, I think that for this particular figure we need more tiny body than Phicen produces, smth. like this one (I have two such bodies for my custom figures and they really look tiny and suitable for an Asian woman's figure):

...or maybe that body (I ordered one, but it will be released on June/July):

Dan is a great choice for this project. Depending on the price, im in for a suit also

Re: 1/6 scale full figure of O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) from the "Kill Bill" movie

I'd be interested in a headsculpt. I already made my own white kimono a while back so don't have need for another.

Although if you made the black kimono from her badass boardroom head-decapitating scene, I would totally be up for that.

Re: 1/6 scale full figure of O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) from the "Kill Bill" movie

Full figure for me. Thank you.

You meant this one I think Ok, noted.

You're in the list (all names w/o additional remarks prefer full figure).
