[MASTERWORKS] - The Master of Deduction 'Curly Fu' *SCULPT REVEALED*

[Commtech]

As if the ebay prices aren't annoying already, you still need to pay even more for a repaint.

What do you mean yodasan?

 

[Lawrence]

After seeing Silent Surfers repaint, I don't think I'd want anything less.

 

[Ebeneezer Jones]

Maybe Denny could offer the clothing set for you guys, or at least the coat. Then like you say already, get the BBC one and repaint it. All of this will still be half the price if not lower than buying the full figure off the bay.

 

[gido]

Yeah-coat will be great!

 

[paramoremcr88]

If Denny could just offering the clothing that'd be awesome.

 

[**16k**]

And how about just a coat and unpainted sculpt?

 

[chubbyman]

yes, Omar can you please talk to Denny about the coat or just the clothing set? Sculpt will be great as well

Whilst we actively encourage customisers both here and on other forums, at this time we will not agree to any increase in this run, either in whole or part. As an officially licensed company we are bound by a number of criteria that must be met. First and foremost any vendor that we work with must comply with ethical code of conduct audits, to ensure safe working practises. We have no contact with the factory being used for the production of this run so we cannot comment as to its suitability to meet the requirements imposed on us. In addition we pay the licensor a royalty for each piece sold, for the rights to use trademarked names, logos and intellectual property. This is something that we know will not be possible given the high costs to produce such limited runs. Furthermore we consider the timing of this release particularly poor, given that our official product has only recently been released. After speaking with Denny we kindly agreed to allow the small run to proceed, given the amount of work that had gone into the figures. We cannot however, agree to any additional units being made and sold and so therefore request that no further solicitations, or interest be pursued.

It sucks guys but it seems that BCS has already said no to the individual parts being sold. Hope you guys are able to get it but it seems they are keeping a close eye on Denny.

I think folks need to buy the BCS figure and have it customized. All things considered.

I think the fan edit model is appropriate for situations like this, in that you're not supposed to own the edited version unless you've purchased the original movie.

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, if not for the safety audits comment I was thinking a good option might be Denny selling them, alongside an official BCS figure, so folks would be forced to support BCS if they wanted the Iminime one. That way, BCS would only increase business. But. . .maybe best for a fledgling company not to set that kind of precedent. It was generous of them to allow Denny to sell a small number the way they did.

 

[meth head]

Exactly like Croozer pointed out above, BCS are not willing to allow Denny and his team to sell a full figure nor individual parts. If you want Sherlock, you need to buy the BCS version or go to ebay for this limited release.

 

[Levit05]

good luck guys...sucks...i actually held this in hand and thought to myself...i'm sure i will see this in my shelf one day...well not at the ebay prices and now with no inclination of selling more...i'm SOL....:-/...oh well...maybe i needed this....too much spending....

 

[chubbyman]

But it's a coat for someone that looks coinsidentally the same as the one sherlock wears...

I think the best way to do it, would be for Denny to purchase 20 Sherlock figures from BCS (and even Watson), just repaint them and make new clothing. And re-sell them from there.

That way it would clearly be a customized figure, and there's not really any grey area there.

I think Denny needs to be out of the equation 100% to avoid getting in some sort of trouble with BCS.
The same could be planned and done here within the community. Get a list of freaks who bought the BCS Sherlock and who want new clothes and then commission them from someone like Yunsil. Then have Surfer or Rhamier repaint the group's head sculpt. This way iminime is not involved at all.

 

[axecutioner18]

Great... something I expected though.

no shame admitting Im ******** about this... thanks BCS, I mean I really was looking forward to the licensed figure. And in all honesty, it was just not good enough for a character I love so much. I had some hope and renewed Interest with this one, but now thats gone to the bin.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

It's sucks to not be able to have the opportunity to get one but congrats to the 5 people that got one and are keeping it. Screw the people on ebay. I don't care how much I want the figure, I'm not supporting the scalpers.

........and then just imagine how pi**ed off you would be if you had acquired the license for this collectible for then somebody else to come along and bootleg it essentially. A typical entitleist perspective on this matter, Axe. If you can't understand and sympathise with the stance BCS are taking on this, then shame on you.

If you love the character so much, and want to support the artists. . . then buy the official licensed merch that supports the people that created the show, character, series, etc.

Is anyone able to see if any tailors (not Related to iminime) would make a run of clothing? I would absolutely buy the bcs version and customize that of so. May. E the only option since this won't get a realized release.
