Re: [KING OF HISTORY] 1/6 custom figure 1st post updated 7-29
So I just heard prices from the tailor(Geewhiz) for the shirt, vest and pants.
Again, this is the real deal, full suede pants, leather armor vest and
brown long sleeve under shirt.
If we're less than 10 outfits, it's $100 more per their part of the outfit.
Approx $350/per if below 10, $250/per if over 10, which is significant.
I am doing the suede boots(made for feet) with leather ankle wraps, the leather belts with
accurate metal buckle, leather wraps on the shirt arms and the vest detail work = Approx $150.00
for full figure people only.
So we're talking minimum of $400 for full outfit.
We need 2 more full figure people to reach 10. Or 2 others that just want the Pants, shirt & vest to
get the price break.
Then the full figure people need to decide on body. I won't do most TTM-19 knockoffs, well, because
they are so sub par. I will do HT or World Box, both are made of high quality mats and
are perfect matches for the King's body. World Box Sub Zero body shown below.
Cost difference is significant so I guessing most will want World Box.
If you have either already, then you can save on that cost. I may take down the
chest on the sides, so the arms lay flatter.
I'm having Caine sculpt the oden's raven for the vest and I am doing the
metal rings. It will come from the tailor with the same basic design, just
plain leather, with shoulder/side ties and framing around the edges.
Which at that point, I have to do the raven chest emblem, leather patches and metal rings.
Which is a lot of labor I'm not charging for. Because this is a grail figure for me and
I want it to be for you as well.
Here's is an idea. Painting/hairing the sculpt is a big cost, if we go with unpainted sculpts on all
the full figures, then people can pick their own painters to do the paint/hair work and could save money
there. As it stands, I don't know if I can get the top tier painter that's doing the prototype for me, to
do all of them. And if he did, it would be $200/per. But I don't think he'll want to do 10+.
The Accessories will be open to anyone and you'll pay the accessory makers directly.
Shield I heard will be in the $75-$85 range, if it changes, I'm sure he'll let me know.
Axe $100 to $135. More likely $135 because they're 2 separate custom accessory
makers on axe and the $100 has a very busy day job and it's not looking promising.
Either way, we will get their paypal emails up when I get a prototype and
they're ready to take orders.
But because I'm doing a lot of work to the outfits, even when you pay tailor directly
for the main parts, they still need to ship all of them to me so I can do the work and weathering to them.
So there's a lot to take in. So please everyone read and give your thoughts on the details.
I've done all the leg work and have got everything rolling. Now I need people on the fence
to make a decision. Because the shirt, plain vest and pants will be open to anyone.
But I may not be offering up additional parts for the non-full figure people. but if I do, it
will be after all the full figures are finished.
Also, this will not be fast. 6-10 weeks on outfits, from when we get all the money in.
And once I get them, another 3-4 weeks at least.
So, some of you may not want to wait and some may get priced out.
But the big question is....
who's still in???
Because this will be a top tier figure when it's all said and done.
For sure, a character worthy of it.
Thanks
