Re: Matrix Neo sunglasses UPDATED, UP FOR ORDER

Thanks for the sunglasses and for the updates.
I am looking forward to receiving them!

Thanks for doing this for us. I know it was a lot of work and really appreciate it all. Looking forward to these.

At the end it was more work than I expected, but it was still definitely worth it. My original plan was to offer these as a 'thank you' to everybody who participated in the thread. And without all of your input I wouldn't have got the Neo I have now: I probably would've never got the Sarah Connor pants without seeing all of your pics, and the boots comission wouldn't have been created.
So as we say in german: Das Vergnügen ist ganz meinerseits (the pleasure is all mine.)

:1-1:

You took the initiative to start the Neo thread, brought a bunch of adrift bashers together, and now I'm close to having one of my most wanted 1/6 figures. You're the man, Yannick :rock

Agreed!

I truly love "The Matrix" -- first film only, and maybe the second half of the 2nd film.

One of the very first 1/6 figures I got was the Famous Type Neo. It was always my goal to bash a set of Neo, Trinity, Morpheus and Smith. I even got the GG Smith bust to make the Agent years ago.

I would love to get an HT quality set of the key four. But I'm so excited to have this rockin' NEO to start.

Here's hoping maybe all you guys will join together again on the next Matrix figure. Trinity anyone? Seems like most of the parts are out there and available. Same with Smith. Morpheus is the tricky one, unless you're one of the lucky ones who got that incredible custom from Kato and Adam.

Re: Matrix Neo sunglasses UPDATED, UP FOR ORDER

For me, Lobby and Priest neo figures would be enough to represent the franchise. Though if I was going to do any other figure it would probably be Smith!

I would love to make a Smith. There's certainly suits out there and at least a reasonable sculpt available besides the GG bust. With the bust you do get the glasses though. Holster can be made. Plenty of Desert Eagles abound.

Anyway, back to NEO for now... but I know as soon as everyone gets those boots -- probably the last piece for most -- everyone's gonna want to build the next for their shelf.

Re: Matrix Neo sunglasses UPDATED, UP FOR ORDER

I can't wait for them too, something needs to reignite my lobby neo passion! I just don't feel the need to get him finished, even after seeing all the amazing work in this thread. I think it's because I don't like the headplay head (too small for me)

You could try the GG bust. Neo's Neo is also the GG bust like Seb's, right? Looks pretty damn good to me, although I think you'll need a repaint which can raise the cost quite a bit.

Re: Matrix Neo sunglasses UPDATED, UP FOR ORDER

Try it I will! Marfmaster is hooking me up. Yep that is the one seb used, I really like it, so i'm going to give it a shot!

No problem, take your time with the money. I'll be on vacation starting tomorrow till next tuesday anyway, so I won't be able to send them until wednesday at the earliest.

As for other Matrix characters, I personally won't be part of that. Neo is the only one I want, as he perfectly portrayes everything I like about the Matrix. All the others don't interest me that much visually (which is a big factor for me when I buy a fig).

Re: Matrix Neo sunglasses UPDATED, UP FOR ORDER

Got mine today! :rock

One eyeframe is slightly flattened but I think I can bend it back to match the other side. Lenses are nice and shiny!

Once again, Yannick, THANKS so much for doing this! :bow

Re: Matrix Neo sunglasses UPDATED, UP FOR ORDER

Glad you like them. Pm sent BTW. :duff

Re: Matrix Neo sunglasses UPDATED, UP FOR ORDER

Got mine today too. Super fast shipping (less than a week, stuff from HK sometimes takes longer) from Germany all the way to the other side of the world.

It's really very well made and both sides are matched perfectly in shape and size. This totally blows my locally made shades away (which is the right shape but too big).

Mine have some paint rub on the left lense but a small dab from black permanent marker fixes that immediately.

My frame arrived unscathed and I can't wait to try it on my Neo tomorrow. I will post pics ASAP.

Thanks again agonistes86 for making these. I can totally see the effort and time you have poured into these for us.

Re: Matrix Neo sunglasses UPDATED, UP FOR ORDER

Very glad that everybody who's received theirs so far is happy with them, seems like my first group project here was a success.
Cool that I could contribute a small part to all your Neos.:yess:
