Man, those are some incredible pics! $300 is alot, but I think if the opportunity arose I'd get one.

The texture of the sculpt looks great on all the pics everyone is posting lately.

Most amazing shots are of Interrogation paint version, it really brings all the best of the sculpt.

I would like to thank some of the guys here for:

Threatening the artist with paypal disputes because they felt cheated. Panicking and being disappointed by the paintjob before receiving it in hand, Nicely justifying and being 100% sure that the recast has a better paintjob, and also loudly announcing your intent to buy the recast as a way to 'get back' at the artist. Chiming in about how some of the sculpts you have seen (though never held in hand - including this one) is miles better hence your reason for not ordering it. How the recast is again a much better deal, and people should buy it instead of this. How this is such a massive scam that Darklord Dave (the site owner) should try to mediate this 'mess' and get everyone their money back.

You have all contributed immensely in shaking the artist into actually having a moment of questioning his own ability!

I know its an expensive sculpt hence so much worry.I know that really well, thats why I couldnt afford it myself. But some of the reactions I have seen is just off the charts. Ironically NONE of the complainants emailed to the actual email where they communicated during the whole ordering process to see if they could get their issues fixed. Most just threw their two cents hear and were already lamenting, plus a lot of guys who never ordered too left their little baits of negativity.

Feels like a slap on my face after all this effort. We have come over a lot of things and tried our best to take all type of input to tailor this for everyone, from getting everyones input on the sculpt, later adding another hair option, then we faced issues like recasters getting ahold via a customer and then being blamed for 'leaking it purposely' etc etc. But inspite of the project being a success financially for the artist, all in all for me it feels like the most draining experience... and a bitter one too.

Its a shame I wasn't around when this project got started. I would have loved to get my hands on one of those mob scene heads!

You can still try email the artist at [email protected]

Just to reiterate what I said yesterday, thanks again man for seeing this whole thing through the end.
Lol, dont know what it is about the joker that makes even the collectors act insane.

I must admit, with the RECAST issues, I was gutted since this is not exactly cheap.
But having the sculpt in hand now, I'm a firm believer of "you get what you pay for", and
I'm a happy where my money went. The sculpt is definitely worth it.

After finally seeing his work on Bill just yesterday, I hope this experience doesnt discourage MJ from making more sculpts here.
I think he is an asset to this community, so I hope he continues to provide more quality work here.

 

[Ebeneezer Jones]

More quality work in the future indeed, and hopefully of the fedora and bullwhip variety.

Your very much appreciated Axe. I don't have the Joker head as the Joker is not my thing, but it looks pretty amazing to me of the pictures i've seen. I do have a couple of Bill heads coming soon though, so will be posting pic's in the other thread when they arrive.

 

[chilipep66]

It sounds like he's pushing full steam ahead with future projects, maybe he just won't cater directly to SSF but his Facebook and site will still be booming with new products.

I already think Bill was an improvement over Joker, which is a great sign of things to come, and despite all the issues and complaints, has already turned out positive for MJ in terms of improvement as an artist

 

[Ebeneezer Jones]

Don't suppose you know if the Indy head is one of the heads he is moving forward with chili...?

 

[Hydeous]

He should consider Two Face next. And maybe even double dip and offer a Harvey Dent.

Wow. Just Spectacular. Got my two sculpts today. Very excited. Once again, thanks to you and MJ for this great opportunity you've provided us.

 

[bruin1773]

if anyone is looking to sell their sculpt, painted or unpainted, PM me

 

[CaponeAl]

I'm actually very jealous at the picture above my post because that's at least somewhat what the proto looked like...not mine...the paint is horrendous!!...I'm VERY pissed about this..!!

Any photos to show what your talking about??

 

[chilipep66]

Don't suppose you know if the Indy head is one of the heads he is moving forward with chili...?

i sure hope so! so far on facebook hes polled people about Dirty Harry and Alex from Clockwork.

 

[Levit05]

Capone...I took some pics a few hours ago and sent them to MJ....but to take some of the fuel out of the fire I decided not to post them here because I think it was an isolated incident...either way...if you want to see the pics....send me a pm...

 

[TheOwl]

if anyone is looking to sell their sculpt, painted or unpainted, PM me

Axe mentioned that you may still be able to get a sculpt directly from the Artist if you email him at [email protected] Hope that helps :wink1:

 

[Ayumiwill]

How could I post pics earlier without showing any gratitude to both Axe and MJ12.
Under bright lights I can totally see Ledger's likeness.
I would like to thank you two to make my dream come true: to own a custom Joker head so now I can throw HT's away.
Time for me to go quiet again.
