Re: [Scaletta] Heimdall - Dark World version

Guys, relax, it's simple - 2 variants, metal or plastic and what the guy is saying - just his opinion, like everyone else's)) there is some logic in his words, sure, I'll keep that in mind and yeah, I'm interested in everyone's opinions thanks

As for the price - $700 area is not because of metal only, it's a limited run of 15+- sets, that simple. As for the character - batman guy is right - people are interested/good, not interested - ok. Geralt of Rivia - main character - pretty same price range. It has no difference - main or not main, it's about the time spending on production (huge part of a price range) So if it's not metal - price range will not be at $150 area, difference between 2 versions is about $100+-

I'm interested in other opinions now

Re: [Scaletta] Heimdall - Dark World version

Thats just simple economics right? No one else is doing a Heimdall and there are people that are willing to pay the price he is asking. Supply and demand.

If you dont like the price, move on. I get this disdainful tone reading your posts.. Its like you have a problem with the dude and/or his business.

I get how supply and demand works. And no one is arguing that the price isn't appropriate for metalwork. But he ASKED what people would prefer, and I've stated my preference.

He can choose to price it however he wants, and I can choose to pay it or not. However, since just a couple of pages back he was lamenting that the list wasn't filled and wondering if he should just move on to other projects if there wasn't enough interest, I was arguing that he might be pricing out potential customers for a figure that is not necessarily a "grail" for most people.

He may be able to make more money by making the product more accessible and selling more units. He may have already tapped most of his market for a $700+ metal Heimdall with the first run.

You can read my posts with whatever tone you want, but that's your own projection. I'm on the list for his Ronan; I want that character enough to pay the price for it. So I have no problem with his business or his work. But Ronan is a main villain from a great movie. And Heimdall is a minor character from two decent movies. And I'm positing that viewpoint as something for woodrob to consider, that's all.

Re: [Scaletta] Heimdall - Dark World version

Lamenting is not the right word I'm ok with any variant - to produce the figure OR to go and make something else)) You are absolutely right - to make or not to make is on me and to pay or not to - everyone can decide)) Again - relax, guys, I heard both or you and yes, as I said before, I'm interested in all y'all opinions. As for sales/demands/prices - I'm grown enough to calculate it myself, please talk somewhere else about it, we all experts)))

Again - your opinion noted, thanks let's wait for other guys, ok?)

Re: [Scaletta] Heimdall - Dark World version

Fair enough. I will stay off the list for now until it is determined what the price will be and/or we see an unhelmeted head sculpt.

Ok, man)))

Re: [Scaletta] Heimdall - Dark World version

Fair enough guys.

Also, I might be more inclined to go for a Thor: Ragnarok version of Heimdall. I guess time will tell what his role in that film will be *cough Soul Stone*.

Re: [Scaletta] Heimdall - Dark World version

guys I can tell you if you are on the fence about which way to go plastic or metal. Go metal I have the original version and it is amazing. The metal work is great and the heft of it just adds so much realism to it IMHO.

Besides the cost difference is only about $100.

Re: [Scaletta] Heimdall - Dark World version

Unfortunately I will have to back out of this one. Really wanted a Heimdall but the finances won't be there for this guy

Re: [Scaletta] Heimdall - Dark World version

Hey, y`all) So, the price is calculated. I decided to make it in metal - my artist just bought a new furnace so we can try it with a good price. So, the price would be $588 for unpainted set, that will include:
- Metal Armor
- Metal Sword
- Metal boots and clothes plates
- Plastic Boots, Helmet Head
- Clothes set

Payment plan will have 4 stages:
1) $147 before final print;
2) $147 before making copies;
3) $147 while cleaning the copies
4) $147 before shipping to you, if it`s unpainted OR to our artist;
4.1) Paint job payment if your set will be shipped to our artist.

Helmetless head will be optional, it will be additional $30 to the set price. Paint job will be around $90 for a set without helmetless head, or +-$50 for a set with extra head.

I chose metal, because plastic set`s price will be around $560 for unpainted set with clothes, but there will be more parts to paint, so paint job price will be around $150 for a set without helmetless head. Plus new furnace in a test mode allows us to have a price of $588, our previous version was $661 if i`m not mistaken

PMs are sent, to launch this project i need your confirmation. If all 11 sets will be confirmed - we are in Hope to hear from y`all soon)

Sounds cool but saving my money for Ronan!

Re: [Scaletta] Heimdall - Dark World version

I'm in for this, but I do have an issue request. I've been trying to put the 1st one together, ran into an issue but I'm not overly upset. The paint on his face scratched off from the helmet. I would really recommend the painter trying to put a sealer on future products. For such high end pieces, that shouldn't happen when china factory stuff doesn't. Just my thoughts, the rest of the item is brilliant.

Re: [Scaletta] Heimdall - Dark World version

Elgreco, ronin-5 and masishadow - waiting for your reply, guys If you`re in - we are ready to start

 

[CupcakeMcGraw]

Re: [Scaletta] Heimdall - Dark World version

I'll go ahead and jump in on this list. It didn't quite hit the $700 mark I was worried about, and the unhelmeted sculpt sweetens the pot.

Re: [Scaletta] Heimdall - Dark World ver. !DEPOSITS 1st STAGE!

PM being sent.

Hey Woodrob, if it's not a biggy have your painter test out a better seal on the final coat for the head, it shouldn't take air to scuff the paint off haha.
