Michael Biehn Reese/Hicks, By Sculptor

[ShadowX81]

Just sent payment for Reese. Can't wait to get him!

Hey Guys the Reese head is going to be 35 millimeter wide by 47 mm tall. No one has paid for a Hicks yet, so let me know if you want him shaved. Thanks

 

[Sculptor]

List updated, and Hicks will have a neck, since that is what most folks want. Ill try to update pics this weekend.

Jesus, I wanted one without neck to use on a TTM19, but I can only send payment on beggining of march, can I get one then?

 

[Sculptor]

Updated, thanks!

You are the only guy asking me for the neckless Hicks, let me know if you want to pay a little extra to get a neckless version.

I also want a neckless Hicks. And sure there are more people interested too.

If that is the case I can make 2 versions then. Get some preorders in and Ill make it happen

 

[kam veitch]

Thanks Rocco for that!! What do you mean by preorders? How many do we need of the neckless Hicks?

Rocco, I just sent an email to your aol account, voicing a concern already touched upon in this thread, but still undiscussed: the headset.
As I point out in my email to you, the hair seems quite long on the top (the sides are great), and that might be a problem for the Han Solo headsets (only option at a CM headet, even if it is not screen accurate as is). I guess there's not going to be removable hair with an alternate hairpiece (as Hot toys did with Han Solo), so I pretty much assume the only solution would be cutting the hair shorter. On top of that: don't you guys really think Hicks' hair-mass was as big as the head sculpt shows, compared to the actual head...? Heck... I don't remember the hair being so voluminous, especially in the rearside and on top:



Thus, independently of the headset, I really think there's too much volume of hair in the headsculpt. Sides might be OK, but hair on top and rearside is just too long. It makes the head look a bit too big.

You can even measure it yourself: in the pic attached, Hicks hair length on top is a bit more than half the length of his forehead. In the sculpt, it equals the length of it. That's why when I look at the headsculpt, I don't get the feeling of lightness, terseness and quickness that Hicks has always conveyed to me.

But even cutting the hair shorter, the headset problem will remain, unless this solution I suggest be accepted: in the movie, Hicks is either carrying a helmet (which Rocco should try and make sure the head will fit in), or a headset. Well then why not sculpt the hair with a permanent recess for the headset's band to fit into? With the helmet on, it won't be visible, with the helmet off, headset glory. Only problem: Sculptor would need a HT headset, and maybe run 1 or 2 iterations.
We could cover increased design costs.
What do you guys think?

BTW: I'm interested in a neckless Hicks, but sit on the fence right now, waiting for input on the headset aspect: at this level of expenditure ($70 only the head, then who knows how much for having it painted), I really need the HS to solve me all problems of depicting Hicks accurately, and the headset aspect is a very important one to it.

Thanks,
m.
