Walter Bishop Fringe John Noble?

[justinbf]

Well, we've waited long enough! I finally convinced my sculpting friend Nikolas Dresios from Greece to start on this for me. I've got to have a Walter figure for my collection! I've also asked him to work on Olivia and Peter when this one is finished. I'm trying to convince him that there is interest for this head within the collecting world. Please help me show him that there are people pout there that love Fringe! If I can swing it, I would like for him to offer Walter by himself and a twin pack with both Olivia and Peter. Also, Walternate and Fauxlivia. Think of the possibilities.

Here's a WIP photo. He says that there is still a lot of work to do, but I think it looks fabulous so far!

please let us know what you think and post if interested so I can convince him to mold and produce some heads for us! Thanks.

I need a Walter too! I'm in for sure. Definitely have been wanting to get a thread going for a Walter.

[Tekkaman Blade]

I'd have to see a final version before deciding, but I'm interested in the character. Wouldn't mind Peter and Olivia as well.

[dwing]

So far it's looking good.

[ChibiSchmoo]

I'm definitely interested. Any chance he could do a long haired version so us LOTR fans can have a Denethor? That's likely where I'd be putting this to use (much as I love Fringe).

You could just dremel down the hair and get a grey wig to do that. I'd prefer the fringe version myself.

[dwing]

Just noticed but it it bigger than 1/6?

[justinbf]

Here's a few more pics he just sent me! WOW! Yes, it will be 1/6!

[neo]

wow the likeness is already dead on! :)

[justinbf]

When the sculpt is complete and molded, I will start taking names for a list. This may be a limited run unless there is greater interest.

[marker2037]

WOW!! That is just amazing so far!

Sooooooo good.

[justinbf]

Glad you guys like it! I'm so excited about this one! I'm expecting new pictures soon! I will post them as soon as I get them! He let me know that it will be the correct size when finished!

Looking good. Sometimes I really hate this hobby. I don't need this sculpt but in case I do I might get one even just to have it.

[marker2037]

I need it! Walter Bishop has quickly become one of my favorite TV characters of all-time.

And to think I absolutely HATED John Noble's Denethor.

Just goes to show how good of an actor he is I suppose :lol

[hanouman]

awesome sculpt any news
any list ?

[Buttmunch]

Hano, I'm surprised you haven't tried making one yet. You seem really enthusiastic about this and Fringe in general.

[hanouman]

oh well because i have too many thing to do and not enough time

and i'm an absolute fringe fan and i want the figure not made them

its strange i know :D

[hanouman]

it's difficult to explain in fact , it's something i want to have not want to do
be amaze when i see the final sculpt, when i'm sculpt a head i see it growe in my hand and i'm generally not amazed by my staff

so a character like walter bishop, i want the pleasure to discover him, to say WWWOOOOOOWWW what an amazing sculpt

i can't say that or feeling that if i do it by myself, maybe i can sculpt with eyes closed but not sure of the results :D

hope you understand it's difficult to explain in french so in english:slap

[Buttmunch]

I understand. I sometimes feel the same way when making customs. There is just a wow factor when you just get a finished figure instead of slowly making it yourself.

But trust me, your sculpts definately have that WOW!

[hanouman]

But trust me, your sculpts definately have that WOW!

well certainly ;) i hope :pray: :rotfl

by the way where is the update hmmmm??

[justinbf]

Working on an update guys!!!! Also, watcher and broyles are on the sculpt list also! Nikolas has been busy with other projects so please be patient! Thanks for the interest!

Aren't your sculpt more stylized/animated anyway Hanouman? ..could it be more the case of your just not as interested in doing realistic portraits?

it's also a reason yes ;)

[marker2037]

That's true. Your style is so distinctive and stylized.

The watcher :rock :rock

[F_seb]

I'm not a fan of Fringe, but this sculpt will be awesome.
First pics make me curious.

[Tekkaman Blade]

It needs some cleaning up, but that look very nice.

[Cheungkinmen]

Looking real nice!

[marker2037]

Yup that's a great start so far. Excellent.

[F_seb]

MAke me curious to see the next pics !! Excellent !!

[-jay-]

wow that looks great. :rock

[yruh8n]

Watching this thread with interest. The Fringe team would look great displayed with the X-Files characters. The sculpt is looking good, but one thing concerns me. Unless this sculptor has very small hands that head looks like it could be too big for 1/6th scale. Any way of getting a picture of the sculpt next to a familiar 1/6th scale head to get an idea of scale?

[marker2037]

Maybe he shrinks it in the casting stage, but I see what you mean.

[justinbf]

Yes. Nikolas let me know that he sculpts in a larger scale in order to capture more detail and then he uses a special shrinkage technique to make the head perfect size for a 12 inch figure. Trust me, this guy knows his stuff. He has done special effects for several movies and sculpts for a living.

[marker2037]

Yea I figured that. It's smart actually. Real clever.

[Tekkaman Blade]

Any updates?

[rhaykal]

I am definitely interested. Any updates on whether or not this will be casted?

[justinbf]

Quick update! Nik had to take a break while working on the new 'Riddick' movie! He assured me that he will update me as soon as possible.

[marker2037]

No worries bro, thanks for the update. Walter is just taking a pause to have a strawberry milkshake.

[marker2037]

Any news on Walter justin? Don't want to see this awesome project get lost :lol

[marker2037]

Been a while in here.

I need this head!

[TheEnemy]

I'm in! Any updates?

[justinbf]

Updates soon

[stricky345]

Very nice can't wait for the update! :)

[dareon]
