Re: Candyman & Friend! Monty productions! Sculpts by MG! SPACES NOW OPEN!!!

How about if we get a total of who wants the sculpts sent directly to them in the USA. Also, were are the Oompa bodies currently? If Jake has the Wonka sculpts and the Oompa bodies, then it is much less expensive for them to be sent to us here than it is to send them overseas. If there are any others who want these items sent directly to them, will purchase their own bodies, and don't need the boxes, then the clothing sets and certificates can be sent to me and I will mail them out to you guys. Putting a handful of clothing sets in a small box and sending them here is inexpensive. Mailing out individual packages with all the items is expensive going overseas.

From my point of view, we started out expecting to come out of this at about $600. Then we had the issue with the Rocco sculpts and are out that money. Getting the sculpts re-done was another added expense. Prices have been going up and combined with the initial payments to Rocco, we are nearing $1200. Boxes, body, and shipping will save me about $100.

I'm not trying to convince anybody to follow my way of thinking, just explaining my rationale.

Sounds like a good idea however clothing will not be sent out too anyone to ship that will go direct via me for a few reasons...... The guy making the COA is Uk based so they will be shipped with the clothing.

I will be the only person handling the clothes anything else if you want sent direct that's cool with me I'll run up a list when the proto is shown :) no that's cool with me bud I'm all up for saving you guys a bit if that's what you want to do. :) thanks for the input. :) will certainly save on shipping :)

I didn't mean have the tailor send them to me, Jake, etc. What I meant was that if you put all the outfits in one box and sent them to one of us, we could mail them out here which would be much less expensive than if you sent out individual packages to each person.

On another note. Has it been decided what body the clothing will be tailored to?
 
Re: Candyman & Friend! Monty productions! Sculpts by MG! SPACES NOW OPEN!!!

Also curious about how the Oompa Loompa shoe Pom poms are getting done and will the shoe castings and head sculpt come all drilled and ready for foot / neck pegs?

I remember earlier you had discussed kumik slim... Just a warning they sometimes do not come with the adapter for the long neck.

Hey man I think Jake is doing the poms.... I could be wrong.
I'm pretty sure they will all come drilled with legs etc :)

As for the body I am on the fence about it I'm waiting to hear back as Mike found an awesome body and I wanted to change the kumik before they start the tailoring. I'll keep you posted as soon as I know :)

This set is going to be sick ;)

Is the new body still a slim of some variety?
 
Re: Candyman & Friend! Monty productions! Sculpts by MG! SPACES NOW OPEN!!!

Yes it's a decent body no need for hands to be swapped or body tone to be off it's a good stiff body :)

Are you guys supplying your own bodies ? If so I will link it too you I will let you know which we've got as soon as I find out :)

Not sure about the self supplying yet. I will sort that out once we work out the logistics and see the proto.

If you are having the sculpts sent to you that would be the best way todo it especially as you will also get the ompa bodies mailed to you along with the sculpts.

Proto is due for September 1st week of October :)
 
Re: Candyman & Friend! Monty productions! Sculpts by MG! SPACES NOW OPEN!!!

Yes, please send a link for the bodies.

Me too. We've come so far on this project, it would be a shame to miss out on the detail of this integral piece.
 
Re: Candyman & Friend! Monty productions! Sculpts by MG! SPACES NOW OPEN!!!

Not to mention that if this cane is anything like the Wonka Accessory set... it will be spectacular!
 
Re: Candyman & Friend! Monty productions! Sculpts by MG! SPACES NOW OPEN!!!

Hmmmm...I wonder if mike has any more of those sets...I signed up for one but backed out when I didn't like Rocco's sculpt and everything seemed to be in limbo....always takes some one reliable to get me back into customs...yunsil and mike did that for this one...:)
 
Re: Candyman & Friend! Monty productions! Sculpts by MG! SPACES NOW OPEN!!!

With everything being top notch, the cane is a must have.

Maybe there will be a second run? The craftsmanship on them was insane, it's the only way to put it. The cane I imagine would follow suit.
