Re: [Scaletta] MoS Nam-Ek

... From the story of a Dredd figure, started with some misunderstanding, we are communicating with Xensation...

So now when you and Xensation "understand" each other what will be with full copy of a Dredd figure? Xensation will cancel it?

Sorry, But I feel like i received a kick on the nuts.
But seeing that a 3rd party company releases the figures your team makes, a few months later, might lead some collectors out of your track and wait until this company or others bring the same figures for less. I like exclusive stuff (who doesn't), but in this hobby you can't find that anymore.

Re: [Scaletta] MoS Nam-Ek

i'm actually ok with that....sometimes the work has to be put in to be recognized to be able to grow in a whole different level....if Xensation can bring us the rest of the figures we want at a fraction of the cost...why not?...specially is Scalletta is designing it for them(i presume)....i would certainly have loved to have gotten a cheaper Faora(s) but i didn't because Scaletta wasn't really recognized when the project started....i mean they had gotten their Dredd but essentially its a compliment to Scaletta at the recognition they are getting...and if that means that other projects that never met the 15 figure minimum now get made at a fraction of the price and still helps Scaletta and us out....i think its a win win for all....maybe not the "custom only" collectors but many of the complete collectors like myself...

Yeah. Every cloud has a silver lining.

Re: [Scaletta] MoS Nam-Ek

Thanks for your reaction, guys, I will back to you with all the info tomorrow Plan is to bring Scaletta's quality and Xensation's production an investment potential on our shelves)

As for Dredd - instead of making a straight copy they are making the improved 2.0 version now - diecast parts etc. So yes, we do understand each other and I will let you know how we will build a system of limited and mass production sets for a future projects)) -9- you know the story, why are you so upset? Ok, let's sit and cry together, **** happens, but what if we can make it work instead? I'm ok with my Dredd on my shelf, but if diecast will be released I will be glad too, but it's impossible without the previous version (sure it's possible for a price of both kidneys). If it will be released you know that you are the one made it possible (only if your goal of collecting is to have something top OR unique - and your Dredd remains hand made figure in any way), but if your goal is to have something while others don't - well it's not the best way, bro, coz these days recasts are something like bad tradition - just a matter of time. I choose to control it instead of waiting and checking who's gonna shoot from my list)))

As for Exos, Heimdall, Witcher, Dracula - we will not re-release em as mass, coz as I said before this story started from misunderstanding and the only way to move forward is to work on something original, but as my man Levit said - sometimes you need to check if we have something proved already to yell "hey, Scaletta in da house!" Well ummm who? Lol

Stay tuned, bros, 2017 will be full is surprises if me and my boys will not **** up Again - it's all bcoz of all y'all support, let's try to make something good happen

Re: [Scaletta] MoS Nam-Ek

Sounds awesome to me. Really looking forward to some Kryptonian armor MOS figures, like Jor-el, Zod, and Faora!!!!!

Re: [Scaletta] MoS Nam-Ek

I'm okay with my investment in both Faora and Heimdall, if it means that you guys have been able to reach a level where you can now provide us with even more custom collectibles. Great job guys, hopefully you can throw your initial supporters a boNE in the future, I'd love to be able to suggest a custom or get a special exclusive. Either way, happy for you all.

Re: [Scaletta] MoS Nam-Ek

woodrob glad for you but my opinion will not change
first you sold prototype to SSF members then you sold design to mass-produce company
That's not cool

With every purchase, you always have the chance to *not* buy it. There is zero use spending money on something you might regret. And also the chance the value of something will go down.
I know, for my part, i bought the Scaletta Faora because i thought it might NEVER get done buy a mainstream manufacturer. I'm still glad of my purchase, even though i haven't put it together yet, lol.
But if you were sour everytime you bought something and either a better version came out, or a cheaper version came out, you'd never spend money on anything. You'd be too angry all the time.
If you are tempted to buy a custom next time, maybe the best bet is to hold off for a year or two and see if anyone else makes one.
If they don't, and you can't get the custom any more, then you can moan about that.
:lol

Re: [Scaletta] MoS Nam-Ek

With Xensation's manufacturing capabilities it would be great if we could also get this look...

Re: [Scaletta] MoS Nam-Ek

Any custom has the chance to get mass produced or knocked off and resold cheaper...just part of the game.

Exactly.
I used to make patterns for a model kit seller in the US, and all my kits were bootlegged by chinese recasters.
You either take that chance, or never put anything out there at all.

very true. See it a lot with "custom" sculpts etc from Hong Kong.

I still love my Faora and think it looks better than what the mass produce prototype does. Without us supporting Woodrob, there would be no chance for the mass production. I'm excited for the figures that I wanted Woodrob to make that there wasn't enough interest to fund the project like a kryptonian armor Jor-el, Kryptonian armor Zod etc. Now we can have a lot of these types of figures and they will be in the normal $200 range.....BONUS!!!!!

Re: [Scaletta] MoS Nam-Ek

Please make also Lara Lor-Van. This is good if it will be collaboration with Scaletta but i felt like this 3rd party got funding from us without much benefit. I support artists like you guys but dont want to be charity for third parties. Anyway you still got my support. Please bring more from MoS line. I really like the baby Kal diorama and Lara lor-van will be really cool.

Re: [Scaletta] MoS Nam-Ek

How about some others neglected by Hot Toys i.e. Villians!

Malekith
Nebula
Ronan the Accuser
Batroc

 

[ronin-5]

Re: [Scaletta] MoS Nam-Ek

I customized my own Batroc but I would love Malekith, Ronan & Nebula.

 

[nexus]

Re: [Scaletta] MoS Nam-Ek

I think HT will end up making Nebula and Yondu for GotG2, however Ronan would be a great candidate. I hope HT eventually releases Yellowjacket since they showed the prototype.

When is there going to be an announcement?

Re: [Scaletta] MoS Nam-Ek

Hey, guys Eventually long holidays are gone and we are making our first steps in 2017 Something HUGE is going to happen, lol



So here are some WIPs of Nam Ek - low res printed parts to check all the sizes and some height works - i think we are pretty close to make him look right as planned. Right now we are using this body - https://www.ebay.com/itm/HaoyuToys-...678496?hash=item2111b029e0:g:034AAOSwepJXZ0tu Pretty easy to find with a price of $40-$50.

Now, about the ways to release this one - there are 2 variants: 1) Limited edition stuff 2) Mass produced figure that will allow us to start MoS line we previously talked about. Our primary goal is variant 2), but it depends on the interest and stuff. If we will end up with variant 1) i can 100% guarantee it will not be re-issued in a couple of years, coz i know for sure how Dredd and Faora showed up. I had a lot of conversations with some of you, thank you for your support, means a lot to us and let`s hope we`ll have a chance to play BIG

To those, who still thinks about some shadow moves and has some interesting theories - sorry, guys, i`m not interested and simply have no time to change your minds, coz it`s simple - all things you think you may know - i`m the one who knows for sure. Check our Dredd thread, i said it all about a year ago. I have couple of guys who said they can`t support us - it`s a pity, but i`m ok with it.

So, first coop. project is only about to happen, i hope it`ll work Oh, btw, y`all can check our Ciri thread - there is a possibility that she will become mass produced project either, so fingers are crossed. Geralt will remain a limited edition figure, but maybe we`ll have a chance to produce some nice line of characters with a reasonable price. She`s now on hold, refunds are made - this is how we roll, no games in shadows. That`s exactly what i mean when i`m talking about taking control, so any conspiracy theory is pretty stupid - i`m making moves, not talks.

Aight, gang, keep rolling - a lot to do in 2017) Again, thank all y`all for your support

Re: [Scaletta] MoS Nam-Ek

I'll have to know if the custom price is worth it...meaning are we getting anything special with the custom set that the mass produced set won't offer? What's the time frame between release dates custom vs mass produced?

I don't mean that it aint worth the price, cause they are...just if I want to spend that kind of cash on this particular character.:huh
