Pedro / I just want to be honest and upfront! There are a lot of pms circulating! Most people are **** scared and worried but no one wants to raise it here with the fear of some retaliation when it comes to their shipments etc. (but that would be a ridiculous worry right?)

Anyways I am going to say it here cause many people sent me a pm and are scared to say what they want! I myself have been very concerned so am going to (without offending you) put it as is:

1) there re 5 threads which are struggling on updates and progress
2) in each thread there are at least 20 figures and
3) each figure is anywhere between 500-800 / give and take!
4) that amounts to 50k to 80k of investments from all of us!
5) The confidence from all of us is falling apart because a simple thread like a gas mask thread is struggling for updates.
6) the communication here has a response rate of 3 days to 10+ days for simple questions!

My suggestion is / can you pls ensure you give us some assurance from all the people involved in these projects like yunsil , sculpt casters etc that these WILL be completed and we won't lose our money!

Can you engage a neutral party like a mod cause I respect your transactions with each stake holders. We are not worried about who gets what cuts! We are now worried about the investments made.
It's also not prudent for us to back out cause we waited for 1.5 plus years and these can easily be sold as mark up on aftermarket.

All we need is a third party assurance that the money is safe and has been sent to the manufacturers of sculpt / clothing and that we will get these figures!

I know once again I will be the most hated guy here for this but for the ones who have been worried and pming me and face book messaging me. I will take the heat!

All I request is a neutral party like a mod be involved to make sure these are safely moving forward and some accounting to be established for the funds sent to you and thereof to independent artists!

Ok, also without offending you or anyone, this is what I have say about your post:

1) If anyone else have the same questions, concerns or thoughts as you are saying they have, they can PM me directly, I have always answered all questions sent to me and I have never offended or persecuted anyone for asking questions or asking for updates.

2)Your are not involve on the gas masks thread but I will give you a reply on this just to make you happy. Everyone there know that we have an issue with the person doing the masks, that was my first project and I had to hire another person to start working on them instead of sending crap product. People not happy with the wait and asked for the money back have been refunded. So they know where things are.

3)The only threads where people is desperate about updates everyday are the ones where you and other guy that I'm not going to mention his name here are involve. I remember back in the day you posting everyday about opening a 2nd run for the Calvin project when the project was already close, and I thought, hey let's help this guy (and the other guy pming me everyday) out to get the figure, what can go wrong. I can now say it was the worst error I have made since I joined this forum.

4)With your points 2,3 and 4 you are pretty much accusing me of stealing 80K from people, and that's something I don't like. I'm not Moe and I'm not running away with no one's money, and it is absurd to say that I'm keeping all that money for myself. Do you think that, if I was keeping all the money for me I could get the outfits from Yunsil?, hire the sculptors to do the sculpt and show the prototype?, pay Robbie to complete the accessories for Calvin run 1 and 2 even when there's people in the 2nd run that have not sent the balance? Complete Calvin 1st run? I don't think so, you don't know how much of my personal money I have invested so that I can have people happy and keep the project going. I'm NOT getting rich with this projects, as I'm not Rainman, I'm not an artists doing the job, I'm just a producer, I'm not getting the money for all the work, and I'm not making all pieces so I can't give you an exact date on where the job will be completed as I'm just passing the info from the makers.

5)I have helped a lot of people in this forum, and I have been very accessible regarding payments, you can ask them. And I'm not posting about it and PMing them everyday saying that they are BAD costumers and that they never paid just because they have some issues to get the payment or deposit in time.

6)I don't know what kind of intervention you are looking for, but I'm not running away, I'm here; the only thing I can assure is that the figures will be completed and the only 2 options I can offer is to wait for the figure to be completed or to get your money back. If you or anyone want to reach out to an admin/mod to get a different resolution you are welcomed to do it. I will also check with them to see if I also have the right to refrain from selling a figure to a person and provide a refund instead.

7)Again, if you want an specific and personal resolution, I'm here to talk with you about it.

Thanks.

Everyone needs to chill a bit I think. I've been doing this for a while and I know it's tough from both sides. And there have been more than a few deals that have gone sideways. I probably have a couple out there right now. But I haven't seen anything that causes me concern that this particular project is going to fall apart. There are solid folks involved with reputations that extend beyond this project. This is a complex custom with several moving parts. It's also a independent project so it's not like it's a company piece, and even those are fraught with delays. anyway the only thing I will say, which is a reality, is that when another company produces the same character it tends to take the wind out of these commissions. And I'm not saying it was done faster, it just came a bit out of left field. That seems to be happening more often these days. Not just with this character, bit other expensive commissions that suddenly have one or two other companies or producers offering the same character. I think that might be contributing a bit to the anxiety. Anyway I'm looking forward to seen more updates.

I understand the concern with the buyers, Cultking teased making this same figure soon and it's will more than likely be released before ours. Ours was commissioned 1.5 years ago. I know both Pedro and Leon and I see both sides especially with the shadiness in the past with other people like Moe. I talk to Pedro a lot and I think that's why I haven't been so vocal but I do at times wonder what's going on. With that being said I am glad everybody is speaking their mind that way we can all see this thing get done. I wouldn't start getting angry at one another, but I think this update will help. I do trust Pedro he does have a lot going on but personally talking to him I think he is doing all he can.

Remember I like big butts I can not lie, other brothers cannot deny! When a girl walks in with a itty bitty waist and a round thing in my face!!!

Pedro -

1) since I had literally begged Jake to do my sculpt and got it done separately for Calvin (he has a 5 + months plus waiting) and due to the fact that you are shipping my Calvin stuff soon I will wait for it! And proceed towards its completion! I am too invested in that both from time and effort perspective!
2) As for Marshall and Shultz I don't think I have faith that they are moving in the right direction and u can refund me for the same!
3) also I have stayed away from rest of your lists so we are good and you don't have to worry about me in the future!

Hope the above works for you!

Just so people are aware, I'm still on this project and plan to get some updates when I get a chance. Unfortunately for my projects I'm slow as hell. But I always strive to make the best something can be. I have some strong ideas on this gun and box that I think will make it a fantastic peice when delivered. There are only a few of us on here that use mixed media for accessories, and to me, it makes all the difference.

 

[greatlakes6]

Good to hear from you Robbie, always a pleasure. Looking forward to your updates.

A spot became available in case someone want to jump in.

 

[greatlakes6]

I can't remember, what body are we using for this set?

 

[greatlakes6]

Help me out, Pedro, what body are we using?

 

[Origami]

Sorry, we are using a TTM21, but I have tried it on a TTM18 and with some futzing it looks better in my opinion. I have a TTM18 here, let me try it on again and show you some pics.
