MG2065 – Interest in my past sculpts? / Casting Services - Gauging Interest

[mg2065]

I’m considering opening up my previous work (head sculpts only) for sale. Please let me know your interest and what character/sculpt/Quantity you would like. I will open a for sale thread later if there is enough interest.

Casting services – I would like to gauge demand for this type of service. I am an experienced mold maker/caster and I’m considering offering this service to those looking at short runs (20 castings max). Please PM me if you’re in need of a mold maker. I will open a for sale thread later if there is enough interest.

My past sculpts that will be available:
Leo (no back bandana), Grinch 1, Grinch 2, Rick Moranis – No Glasses/collar, Lloyd 1(no hat), Lloyd 2 (not pictured), Harry 1, Popeye (head/hat only – No pipe)

**Head sculpts only – Sculpts will come unpainted - No Accessories will be offered - Est. $45 per sculpt shipped in USA. International shipping would be a little more.

I thought Dumb & Dumber sculpts were only offered if you bought the tuxedo, not to start anything but if you said we didn't have to buy the tuxedos as good as they are I probably wouldn't have got them, still waiting for my blue one.

Grinch 1 & 2 (does it include hands) and any ideas on a body and costume for him.

Sorry man, I think we're on different pages. Here is the story: I had a lot of pm's in the beginning for just the head sculpts. my standard answer was to say no, because we needed to get the min. quantity tuxedos sold. My goal was to protect Moe because he was the one who stepped up and agreed to do the tuxes. I didn't want to undercut him and just sell the head sculpts to anyone who wanted one. I even gave away the Harry sculpt for free to encourage more orders of the blue tuxes. I was hoping to sell the sculpts down the road to make back some of the time/money lost from redoing the Lloyd sculpt and offering the harry set for free.

I'm Certainly glad the grinch extras etc aren't being offered because then the guys who got the sets might as well of waited.... Glad it's only the sculpts I've wanted another grinch sculpt for a while so I can mod the curl to be seamless with the sculpt. But I don't wanna touch my sculpt :rotfl

Here's how I see it rainman offers his sculpts in limited runs so why not? MG is no different.

Lloyd 1(no hat), Lloyd 2 (not pictured), Harry 1 all the way man, no brainer for me Thanks for considering this

 

[CrAzEBoNEsz]

I understand and really appreciate that you gave the Harry set for free, it was super generous of you, its just that my original plan since D&D is one of my favorite comedies was get the sculpts $90, and bash the clothing, but since you were only offering the sculpts as kits and with the tuxedos I had to pay $150 for Lloyds Kit and $520 for both tuxedos, thats $90 versus $670, so you can see my disappointment in this offering, I spent a lot of money on the fact that the sculpts weren't being offered alone...

It will just be the head sculpts. I'm not sure about the costume but the head sculpts were designed to fit a narrow shoulder truetype or truetype slim.

I completely understand. I should have made it more clear what I was trying to do from the beginning. The number of people who have both sets of Lloyd/Harry is less than 10 so the value should be there if you want to sell them and go the kitbash route. The sequel coming up will probably spur some more interest in the original characters/tuxes. Sorry again and hope it works out for you.

I think you will move a lot of Lloyds and Harrys once people see this thread, I know I read a lot of buzz about them a few weeks back

What do you mean pure business? Something was offered *only* through a package and now its open to everyone seperate from the package people purchased to get it, not sure how that's pure business but ok
