Replacement jacket and whip for Indy

[SovereignStudio]

There was a lot of interest a while back in getting me to do a run of jackets to replace SSC's jacket. Looking at their whip, I figured I would off them, as well. I can do posable versions, too that match my regular whips exactly. If there's still interest, I want to build a list to go into production in late January. I may take a few orders now for early January. Jackets will be $65.00, whips will be $20.00 each (either style) or $35.00 for a pair.

[Wor-Gar]

I think you should offer up that holster and gunbelt too!

Great stuff. My original Indiana Jones from you is still one of my prized pieces...and that's saying a lot considering I got him back in 2002. It was my very first custom 1/6th figure that I ever bought. A real treasure.

[SovereignStudio]

Thanks, Wor-Gar! That means a lot. I'll offer whatever pieces people want, I guess.

[ToddG]

I would definitely be in for both! I too have one of your Indy's and the jacket is awesome! The fedora you'd made is equally impressive . . I would be up for one of those as well!!

todd

[pjam]

Best 1/6 Custom Indy Jacket made. Anywhere... nothing even comes close.

It's even better than the PF Indy jacket! More accurate too.

[SovereignStudio]

Glad you like your Indy, Todd! As far as the fedora, it would never work with Trevor's hatless head. The hair is too fluffy for it. But, hey, I still offer the whole figures for anyone who wants to go that route :naughty. I still want to do a Special Edition that comes with the Map Room disguise, staff and headpiece. That was the project that got me going on the whole removeable head thing I seem to be using for everything now. I needed a practical way to do a turban head. I even did another Ford sculpt about a month ago that I've yet to cast. How freakin' stubborn am I? :lol

The List:
ToddG (jacket)

[dwing]

Will the jacket be leather or the rubber version?

[Cryoguns]

I might be in for a poseable whip! I loved the coiled one that came with my Soverign Indy!

[SovereignStudio]

Will the jacket be leather or the rubber version?

Neither, really. It won't be cast. It's an extremely leather-like fabric that I actually make myself. You want labor intensive? Try having to make the fabric before you can make the jacket! :lol

[Ultramanimator]

PM sent! I gotta have one of these jackets! Beautiful stuff!

[Kuzeh]

I'd be up for a Jacket, looks amazing!! Wow!!
When do you think you would have these?
Just so I can plan my expenses and be sure I can get on board?

Thanks!

[Sachiel]

How well does the jacket fit on a Hot Toys body?

Or even the ACE body?

Either way, put me down for one jacket.

Thanks.

[DarkArtist81]

HELL YEAH!! I was hoping you would do this Shawn. You can count me in! Now I have to save up for your Maximus AND one of these coats. :rock:rock:rock

[FlyAndFight]

I have your whip, gun belt and holster on my custom Indy and they are the highlight of the figure. The whip, in particular, is a work of art, period. Beautiful craftmanship.

[bwayne]

Put me down for a jacket please.

[uscmhicks]

put me down for a jacket please... :rock

[Promising Galahad]

Could you post pics of the posable whip? I already have one of your Raiders holsters and whips and immiediately substituted Sideshow's with them. This holster appears to be a new and better design, however, so I'm definitely interested in the holster, but I want to see pics of the poseable whip too.

Count me in for one of each: a poseable whip and holster.

[Cryoguns]

Agreed :D Would love to see some pics of your poseable one!

Also, does the price include shipping?

[screamingmetal]

Neither, really. It won't be cast. It's an extremely leather-like fabric that I actually make myself. You want labor intensive? Try having to make the fabric before you can make the jacket! :lol

Have you been making these types of jackets for a while?
Because I have an Indy jacket I bought off Ebay that's pretty much the same exact thing. It's almost like the oiled cloth they use for Australian Dusters.
What's the color of your jacket because it looks black in the photos?

[Big Duke 6]

I am in... Looks great !!

Ive been making them for 8 years. It's pssible you have one of mine, though I've never sold loose jackets on ebay. But Im sure someone has parted out my stuff. The jackets are really dark brown, nearly black. Same as the Raiders jacket.

[DarkArtist81]

A Shawn jacket is the BEST anyone will ever see, his work in this area is second to none. I stand by that statement. Anyone who does this will not regret a single cent, I ^^^^ you not. :rock

Yeah, what he said :lol If I have some time on my "day off" this weekend I'll try to throw one together and test fit it with a HT body. Les did some test fittings with some outfit pieces between a HT body and the Prometheus and he's told me both can wear the same clothes. However my jackets are cut with SHOULDERS, so it might look goofy on the Pro :monkey1 I've still got my buddy's HT Joker so I can test my jacket on that. It should fit. I cut them with really long sleeves and a long body, as it is in the opening of Raiders.

[JustinLuck]

Some padded to the Prometheus shoulders should make it look fine.

[SovereignStudio]

Some padded to the Prometheus shoulders should make it look fine.

Yeah, that works. I had to do that with my Rob Zombie Myers figures after I "over engineered" the trap muscles, trying to cheat more height from a SSC body.

[SovereignStudio]

I put the list together in the first post.

[brassmonkeyart]

That jacket is amazing. I would love one as well as a set of the whips.

[Indiana Fett]

That jacket is amazing. I would love one as well as a set of the whips.

Me too! I'm IN! :gun

[Ultimate Weapon]

Is there a cut off date to get in on one of the jackets for January? It looks awesome!

[Cryoguns]

Actually, I've tested out your Indy clothes on a Pro and they look pretty good. Pants are just a hair shorter than I'd like, but everything else fits well.

Hello, picture please!:D. We need to see the SS with Sov's clothes.

[Cocoboloboy]

I've still got my buddy's HT Joker so I can test my jacket on that. It should fit. I cut them with really long sleeves and a long body, as it is in the opening of Raiders.

I'd like to see that. I'm using a HT TT and wasn't sure if it would look right on it.

[Cryoguns]

Hello, picture please!:D. We need to see the SS with Sov's clothes.

I'll try to take some later tonight. No head though, as I've sent both of my Indy heads to DarkArtist for repaints.

Really though, everything fits suprisingly well. Shirt is not quite as tight on the Pro as it was on the DML body, and pants could be just a hair longer, but otherwise looks pretty darn good.

[commandernarra]

Hi, pretty new to the board, but would love to own one of these jackets.

[SovereignStudio]

Actually, I've tested out your Indy clothes on a Pro and they look pretty good. Pants are just a hair shorter than I'd like, but everything else fits well.

Awesome! Thanks, man. And here are the pics you guys wanted, the poseable whip. Sorry the pics aren't that great. They came from a client after he got his Indy about three years ago. Now, this particular whip was permanently attached to a hand with a non-posable wrist pin to keep it stable. My whips are light weight and won't be a problem with your figures. But I did notice the handle seemed to rotate a bit in a stadard hand, depending on how I posed it. I won't be offering that hand. You guys will be using different bodies with different wrist set-ups, they have to be painted so there's the whole skin tone not matching thing.... unnecessary pain in the butt for everyone :lol It may not be an issue at all. You guys know how picky I am over stuff like that and I wanted NO slippage. My advice, get an extra grip hand and just Super Glue that sucker in there.

[chapuchi]

I've been waiting for this day to happen for about a year...Shawn, how much would it cost for the gun rig? In the mean time, put me down for a jacket!

[screamingmetal]

Ive been making them for 8 years. It's pssible you have one of mine, though I've never sold loose jackets on ebay. But Im sure someone has parted out my stuff. The jackets are really dark brown, nearly black. Same as the Raiders jacket.
Looking over your pics, it seems almost identical. Though the zipper isn't painted on mine but it does have the wrinkles pre-formed into the jacket. I also got an Indy shirt and there were other Indy items available. But when I asked if they could make anything requested, they seemed like they could. The shirt by the way is a off white (brighter white then yours), and has no fasteners to close it, it does have non-functioning painted buttons on the front. Not sure if you ever made one like that or in that color.

I'll see if I can find more info about who I bought it from and PM you.

[Snake Eater]

I would like to provisionally put down for a jacket if still possible please. :)

[MaulFan]

Dammit, how'd I miss this thread, Shawn am I too late to get in for a jacket?

[Cryoguns]

The poseable whip looks great! I'm definitely in for one of those!

As requested, here's the Sovereign set (tailored for the DML body) on the Sideshow Prometheus. Sleeve cut is slightly longer, but it works. The pants are really the only thing that would need much of an adjustment, IMHO. They ride a little low in back, and could be maybe 1/4" longer to sit properly over the shoes. BTW Shawn - could I hit you up for a pair of new pants if you do a set more tailored for the Pro? :D Everything else is great.

[Cryoguns]

Oh...for anyone who is curious...my planned final figure will be:

Body, feet, hands, heads, revolver - Sideshow
Everything else - Soverign :D

[dwing]

Yep, that looks great but I don't know if I could swing an extra $60 right now as I want another Indy for a Map Room and working on more LOTR stuff. We'll see.

Wow, that Sov jacket on a Figure makes ALL the difference.

btw, Shawn told me it is a very labor intensive piece, takes him a full day just to make one.. and he wanted to charge more for these a ways back when we intitally discussed doing a run of these, so you guys are getting a hell of a deal.

[TheObsoleteMan]

http://webpages.charter.net/cryos/images/DSC04662.JPG


That looks like a 1:1 costume. :google

[SovereignStudio]

Looks great, Cryo!! Thanks for posting those shots. They answer a lot of concerns I had and put them to rest. I'd be happy to make a pair of pants for you to fit that body. No problem, just need to lengthen them a bit; 1/4-1/2 inch maybe.

Screamingmetal, that sure sounds like my stuff. Looking over some stuff, there was a guy on ebay that bought like three Indy's from me over about a year's time. I thought he just really liked my work, turns out he was using my stuff with his own kitbashed Indys and reselling my stuff, claiming he'd made it :mad: You may have gotten some it there.

I'll comb through the post in a bit, update the list. I'll start shooting out payment requests today. My plan of getting five Scarecrow and five Maximus orders for December isn't working out, so I'll do this instead. Bad time of the year to sell complete figures, I guess. You'd think I would learn; happens every year at x-mas time :lol I'll start putting together a list for the other parts, too.

[Snake Eater]

Shawn, tried shooting you a PM, but you have no room!

Very interested in what parts you can offer, esp the awesome jacket.

cheers

[JacktheRipper]

that jacket is amazing. Can't drop $65 for it right now, though. But, that truly looks like a fantastic jacket. Cryo, those picks are making me cry in their greatness.:clap

Sounds great, and glad I could help! :clap Hit me up for one of the poseable whips and a pair of pants then. Thanks, Shawn!!

[JustinLuck]

Is the shirt custom made too?

[SovereignStudio]

Is the shirt custom made too?

Every bit of it is custom made. I bend my own belt buckles, too. :whip

[JustinLuck]

Your jacket sleeve length looks perfect.

http://www.theraider.net/information/indy_gear/gallery/jacket_03.jpg

[SovereignStudio]

OK, got the list updated. I'm sorry my PM box is full and I didn't have time to respond to everyone on a one-on-one basis. Rest assured, if you've chimed in here on the thread, or by PM, you're on the list! I only put people down for the parts they confirmed, though some of you are expressing tenative interest in other gear. If you're name is missing anything, let me know.

I'm going to do a loose gear break down price list later on today and post it. I may even do a complete outfit set, minus the parts that aren't needed (head, hat, revolver, etc.) I think I'm going to offer boots, since SSC's are integrated into the body. That should cover you HT TT guys. I'm casting them from the Hasbro boots. "HASBRO!?!" :lol When it comes to Indy stuff, TRUST ME! Hasbros' boots, surprisingly, are the best produced in 1/6. Not even the McCoy are better. Hasbro's even has the individual stitching around the moc toe!

Oh, I also have a Grail and proper scale Grail tablet. The Hasbro version is far too small. And if I can get my printer up and running, I can do Grail diaries with a full 48 pages of accurate printed material.

How much might that whole set run?

[JustinLuck]

I'll be interested in pretty much everything depending on the price. :D


Sign me up for the whole set if possible.

[JediMike71]

Hi Shawn. Please put me down on the list for a custom Indy jacket. I like Sideshow's jacket okay I guess. But yours looks MUCH better! :whip I'd also be interested in one complete grail diary. So put me down for one of those too. Thanks! :D

[warrior038]

Your work on indy clothes are amazing.

So can you ship to france.

[elvis1976]

Man put me down for a jacket if its still available!

[paulcarson]

Shawn, how much would the jacket be shipped to the UK please?

[Snake Eater]

Thanks for adding me to the jacket list.

I would also like to know how much for a full set up if poss please Shawn, won't have to get SS Indy then. Ta.

[bluechalice]

I can't tell but is the whip real braided leather or is it casted in rubber?

[Snake Eater]

Thanks for adding me to the jacket list.

Sorry to bump my post, but don't want Shawn to poss miss it. :)

[amarcord]

Best way to update the Indiana Jones from Sideshow is by using the outfit from Souvereign Studios.
When the trousers are adjusted, this must be the best complete outfit available.
Love that jacket.

[JustinLuck]

Cryoguns, Can you post his head on top?

Nope...as I posted earlier in the thread, both heads are on the way to DarkArtist for repaints :D

[drbrad1975]

Shawn,

How much for a completed outfit? I would like to get the complete outfit if that's possible. I PMed you but I never got a reply.

Thanks

[SovereignStudio]

I can't tell but is the whip real braided leather or is it casted in rubber?

Neither. Casting them isn't practical and real leather version just always look like those Western bolo ties.

Shawn,

How much for a completed outfit? I would like to get the complete outfit if that's possible. I PMed you but I never got a reply.

Thanks

Sorry about that, man! My PM box fills up faster than I can empty it. I've got the list made out for all of the parts, minus the head, hat and revolver. Everything will be available individually. A full kit of everything being offered will be $180.00. The itemized list will go out with the payment requests, but I can say there is a $40.00 savings with the full kit.


Hey, Cryo..... does my holster fit the SSC revolver OK? If not I may need a volunteer to loan me revolver so I can adjust my pattern.

[JustinLuck]

Sign me up for the full kit ASAP! ;)

[Snake Eater]

Full kit for me too please Shawn!

[elvis1976]

Can you put me on the list for the jacket please?
thx

[IndianaPaul]

Hey Shawn,

Not sure if I missed it, but how much for the shirt? Does it have hidden snaps to take it on and off? Just let me know when you can. Also, let me know how to get payment to you for the jacket as well as the shirt, too. Thanks!

[FlyAndFight]

I would be interested in a breakdown of parts and their pricing. I would like to get just the gunbelt minus the holster, if possible, as I already have your holster and whip. Thanks!

[paulcarson]

Shawn, how much would the jacket be shipped to the UK please?


pretty please ?

[Cryoguns]

Hey, Cryo..... does my holster fit the SSC revolver OK? If not I may need a volunteer to loan me revolver so I can adjust my pattern.

Fits perfectly, in fact! Originally, I expected it may not fit because the Sideshow revolver was a little larger, but it went right in without stressing the holster.

[Snake Eater]

Cheers for updating the list Shawn. Sweeeeeet.

[Cryoguns]

Yup - but don't forget to add pants to mine :D

[SovereignStudio]

pretty please ?

UK shipping would be $6.00.

Fits perfectly, in fact! Originally, I expected it may not fit because the Sideshow revolver was a little larger, but it went right in without stressing the holster.

Sweet. So all I need to adjust is the length of the pants then? How are the shirt sleeves? They should cover the wrist joint, with just a bit of extra length so they don't pull up when the elbow is bent.

[warrior038]

Can you add me for a full kit if its not too late ? (shipping to france)

and i think it will be good if you add more lenght to the pants, after i can cut as i want.

Amazing work.

[drbrad1975]

Shawn,

Put me down for the full outfit please shipping to Georgia. Could you give me a complete breakdown of what will be included.

thanks

[SovereignStudio]

Invoices sent, guys. The price break-down is in there.

[MaulFan]

Payment sent Shawn :rock

[Ultramanimator]

Payment sent. Can't wait to finish my Indy in style:gun

[commandernarra]

Payment from me too. Thanks for making these available!

[Cryoguns]

Sweet. So all I need to adjust is the length of the pants then? How are the shirt sleeves? They should cover the wrist joint, with just a bit of extra length so they don't pull up when the elbow is bent.

For the revolver, the barrel pokes slightly out of the bottom, so it may need a slight length alteration if it's not supposed to do that.

I guess maybe more pictures would work better. I took some of the holster, and also some of the figure without a jacket. Pants may need a little more adjusting in the hips - the Pro has big gaps on the back of the legs and it causes the fabric to bunch out funny. Sleeve length is fine, and I like the slightly loose shirt.

[dwing]

Man, I wish I could get in on this. I have to much going. This looks killer.

[Sachiel]

Are you going to lengthen the pants? They do look a bit short.

Also, any pics of the boots?

[warrior038]

Payment sent for a full kit Shawn :joy

[Snake Eater]

Payment sent for a full kit please Shawn. Grateful if you could confirm receipt.

Thanks. :)

[Haddock]

Can you put me on the list for only the jacket please? Can you ship it to The Netherlands?:whip

Thnx!!!!

[Peteskywalker]

Dam just noticed this was about .
Any chance of getting on the list for a jacket shipped to the uk?
please please please

[Ultimate Weapon]

Shawn-

Can you add me to the list for the jacket only? Looks even better every time I see it. Thanks - I appreciate it!

[Indiana Fett]

Just sent payment for the jacket and whip set Shawn. :whip

[drbrad1975]

Shawn,

How well does this outfit fit on the Hot Toys TT body?

thank

[Snake Eater]

I can't believe I am in on this, looks incredible.

[uscmhicks]

Shaun , gonna shoot you a pm regarding this now.
Its all looking awesome. :rock

[drjedisith]

i too am going to PM you :)

[JustinLuck]

Does the kit include the maroon belt with golden buckle?

[SovereignStudio]

Shawn,

How well does this outfit fit on the Hot Toys TT body?

thank

I haven't tried it yet. I've got a HT Joker, I'll do a test fitting on that, hopefully this week.

Does the kit include the maroon belt with golden buckle?

Yes. It's not listed because it's part of the pants. Belt loops large enough to actually pass it through look really goofy. The loops are formed to fit the belt properly, then the whole thing is attached.

List is updated, for the last three guys that have got on board .

[JustinLuck]

That is good to know. Proper scale is definitely preferred over functionality. One other quick question...did Indy's pants in the film have side pockets? I notice Sideshow's pants have them. How hard would it be to simulate them in 1/6? I like the material used for Sideshow's pants as they have a real kaki feel to them, but overall all yours look to fit nicer and the back pockets look more accurate as well.

[Haddock]

Just sent payment for the jacket!:gun

[JustinLuck]

Cryo or Shawn, can you post pics of the clothing on a HT True Type? The proportions, shape, and articulation are just so much better than on the Prometheus. Oh, and have you thought about adding bits of fabric on the shoulders of the shirt (what are these called?) and cuffs on the sleeves?

[Cryoguns]

I'll let Shawn give it a go for the TT fitting :) The pants and shirt are "buttoned" shut with tiny drops of glue, and I don't want to keep cracking apart the old glue and putting more down on the one I have.

However, I expect it'll fit pretty darned good. Aside from the shoulders (which the TT fills out better), overall proportions of the TT body are fairly close. The shoulders are a non-issue with the TT since the set I have is tailored for the wider shoulders of the DML.

[Snake Eater]

I would also please like to know the fit for a TrueType.

Ta.

[small_studios]

Def down for a whip. If possible please add me to the list! :whip

[small_studios]

Oh and PM sent for a regular whip! :whip

Whoa! I hope I'm not too late to get in on this. Hey Shawn, I just you a PM for a jacket.

Eric

[small_studios]

Has anyone heard back to see if the jacket fits the Hot Toys bodies?

[Caohanach]

Shawn, just sent payment for the jacket. :whip

[SovereignStudio]

A memeber is sending me a TT body as well as a Pro body for fittings. I'll have pics soon. Everything should fit fine on the TT body. My jackets fit a Buck body, which are really tall and lanky. If it fits those those, it should fit anything! I've added length to the pants and adjusted the holster a bit for SSC's revolver, as well.

[Snake Eater]

Sweet! Just bought two HT TrueTypes, one of which is for this!

[small_studios]

Shawn did you receive my PM about the whip i may be in for a jacket as well if it fits a Hot Toys body :D

[SovereignStudio]

Shawn did you receive my PM about the whip i may be in for a jacket as well if it fits a Hot Toys body :D

Got it, man. I put you on my list, must not have updated the public version. I'll put you down for a whip and jacket.

[small_studios]

Thanks Shawn you are the Indy Master!!! I appreciate it :whip

[MisterToyNYC]

Got it, man. I put you on my list, must not have updated the public version. I'll put you down for a whip and jacket.

Hey Shawn:

Did you receive my PM as well about the jacket?

Eric

[toyadventurer]

I'm interested in the jacket!!!

[SovereignStudio]

Sovereign Indy jacket on a Hot Toys True Type!!:whip There are a couple minor tweaks I'm going to make to the pattern. I'm going to bring the collar in a little closer to the neck (these have VERY broard shoulders). I'm also going to give a little more room for the neck at the back of the collar, other wise it will bunch and won't seat properly. Other than that, it fits perfectly.

WARNING!! HARD-CORE PLASTIC NUDITY

Both ends of the spectrum I see here, TrueType too broad, laying down Prometheus, bit too narrow.

[carbo-fation]

Nice work man. I can't believe I haven't jumped on this yet. Did you ever post a price for all items individually? Just curious to see the price for the holster and belt. Thanks.:)

[small_studios]

Yeah def down for that TT jacket and whip Shawn! Just let me know when and where to send payment :gun

[Snake Eater]

Looks excellent. I will require mine tweaked for a HT TT please.

PM sent :D

The Indy gear orders will start going out over the next couple weeks. Still on schedule, I think I had projected these to go into production mid January. I need to do that HT jacket pattern, but that's no big deal. I can get what I want from it in just three minor changes. My original pattern works for Dragon bodies and Pro bodies. Those of you with jackets/kits on order, please jump in here and let me know which jacket you'll need!

I've resent invoices to the rest of the people on the initial list. If you could, let me know how many of you are still in. I'm roughly laying out a schedule for next month and need to know where to go with it.

[Sachiel]

HT pattern, please!

[Ultimate Weapon]

I will need the jacket that fits the Sideshow Pro body - sticking with the original here. Thanks!

[Snake Eater]

As I mentioned via PM and here, (but thought I would again!), HT fitting please Shawn.

I need the Pro version Shawn. Thanks, and can't wait!

P.S., any thought to re-patterning the jacket to 1/4 scale for the ULTIMATE PF Indiana Jones jacket? I'd be down for one in a heartbeat to replace the SS one that's too short.

Just want to know if I should start looking somwhere else.

[Les Walker]

So glad to see a nice list here for jackets. I will post up my Indy soon, in a pic and YouTube video, and later, in some pics by MaulFan, but I am here to tell you, the jacket makes the man! So much so, that I talked to Shawn today, and realize I have to upgrade my coiled whip AND the gun belt. Every aspect you upgrade on this figure, makes more upgrades needed somewhere else. It is a sore fact of Indys I guess. But I LOVE my jacket! It is amazing!
Pic of it soon.

[small_studios]

Thats great to hear Les. Cant wait to see your Indy as well. Im really looking forward to the whip and jacket set!

[Snake Eater]

Any update please? :)

Heard back from shawn last week and this was the message.

I hope to shoot out the first part of list around the end of next week. I wanted to get some of the other stuff caught up a bit before I tear into the Indy list. I don't like my head to be cluttered or distracted when I'm doing Indy stuff.
Cheers,

[Les Walker]

It's worth the wait, even if it takes him a year. Trust me! It did, I have one, and I am VERY, VERY, VERY happy with it.

[small_studios]

Keep im mind he is making about 20 or so of these jackets, and the whips. Im sure its a time consuming process. However Being a good business man requires you to at least keep your customers in the loop. I personally would like to see an update that these are being made as im sure alot of us would. I

[pjam]

It's worth the wait, even if it takes him a year. Trust me! It did, I have one, and I am VERY, VERY, VERY happy with it.

Oh, absolutely! This jacket makes the figure.

Update: Shawn has been experiencing Computer Problems. He got a new hard drive which burned out on him. He's getting another one and should be back online soon so he hasn't been able to post -- although he said he answered a bunch of PMs recently somehow.

Anyhoo -- he said he has pretty much caught up on past commisions, is working like a banshee and he has started the Indy stuff. Has all the jacket material, dyed it and is in the process of cutting them up.

So, know the Sovereign Studios Indy Jacket assembly line is in production. And please keep in mind Shawn is a one man Factory. Patience will be rewarded. :whip

[dwing]

Still waiting on the Mola ram(shipped a few weeks ago) and really wanted the jacket but too much time to wait. Maybe if he made them first and then offered them for sell?

It's worth the wait, even if it takes him a year. Trust me! It did, I have one, and I am VERY, VERY, VERY happy with it.

Yeah, I'm glad Les pointed this out to me. I'd been thinking about skins and Scarecrow masks (those coming soon?), and not so much about the incredible planning and execution (not to mention ongoing improvements) in Shawn's Keaton Batman. Despite the fact that it's staring right at me.

So now I just picture Shawn, bent over a teeny-tiny sewing machine, making 1/6 Indy jackets, and smile...(since I don't know what he looks like, it's an over-the-shoulder shot :D)

[SovereignStudio]

Sorry to let this thread go, guys! I figured everyone was just watching my all-in-one update thread in customs.

The Indy jackets/gear will start rolling out this week. I really wanted to have everything else out of here before I tore into the Indy stuff; I wanted to be able to focus on nothing but Indy stuff and new orders. That didn't happen as quickly as I needed it to, so the Indy stuff is now just part of the juggling act. Won't have an affect on quality, I just wanted to narrow my focus for my own sanity. That's long gone anyway, so screw it :lol

[Snake Eater]

Thanks for the update Shawn, my Indy is getting frostbite. :D

Hayden won't be 7 forever, gotta get in every minute I possibly can. But work IS getting done, stuff is always shipping! I just don't sleep much

[SovereignStudio]

Soory, guys! I know I've got a lot of guys waiting on Indy gear, but I thought the thread itself had cooled off and dropped off the radar. I've been posting updates in my Sovereign Studio thread over in the customs section.

Anyway, I'm pasting this from that thread. I have no hard ship dates, but this post should sort most questions out. Don't worry, it's good news. Even the fact that I'm not going to try and ball-park dates is a good thing. But know that things are running far more smoothly and efficiently now and things will be going out far more regularly.

Hey, guys. I wanted to elaborate on my earlier post, now that I have time.
As I said before I am now working under supervision, for lack of a better way to word it. A trusted friend and client has mapped out a sensible business plan and schedule, two things I guess I really suck at doing for myself. He's an IT specialist with the military and supervises a team of about ten people. He's done this for nearly eleven years and knows what he's doing. I've been working this way for just a week and it's already showing results. I think it's also important to say that my new "supervisor" is also a client to whom work is owed. So when it comes to the schedule he's worked out, he's not at all dispassionate to my backlog people. He is one of them. The business side of Sovereign Studio is, thankfully, out of my control now and in far more capable hands. I'm just the talent: what I do best.
I now work standard 8 hour days, generally 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. I can work until 7:30 pm if I'm pushing for a really hard deadline, 4 hours on Saturday morning in the same case. Saturday hours, however, will be stanard and permanent until the backlog is complete. Other than that, NO weekend work. My old method of work until I drop was not working. All it was doing was burning me out, making me too tired and stressed to accomplish anything and causing problems in my personal life. I'm getting more done now knowing that I have only a limited time each day in which to work. I'm actually spending time with my wife, which was becoming a serious problem. I always made time for the kids, but not nearly enough for her. And, soon, I'll be able to spend some of my new found personal time to work on new stuff.
My week is split between catching up my backlog and making figures either for ebay or for incoming orders from the board. Monday-Wednesday I'm making new order/ebay figures and Thursday-Friday and my 4 hours on Saturday is dedicated to backlog. New stuff will ship as payments come in, backlog from Thursday-Saturday will ship between Monday and Wednesday. I'm doing three figures per week, either way. If nothing is ordered, it goes on ebay. If you've been wanting to order from me, there's never been a better time. If an order comes in, that's one or two less for ebay. Anything ordered will be scheduled for production the following week with a TWO WEEK turn around. Yes, this means that new orders will be shipping along side of, maybe sometimes ahead of, backlog work. I know it gets annoying when you see someone get something that was ordered after you placed your order, but new work must now be prioritized equally with backlog work. Using income from new orders to pay the bills while focusing only on backlog does not work. All that was doing was quickly turning new orders into a new backlog. It's a pattern of continued failure that I cannot and will not continue.
Many of you know that a lot of work that should have shipped in the last 2 or 3 weeks has been held up from a lack of supplies and my ability to ship due to cash flow. I'm resupplied now and things are rolling. The Mola Ram figures, which many of you have been asking about, are an example of that. I had planned to ship three of the six two weeks ago but ran short on necessary supplies. Those three sat here, in various stages of near completion, waiting for supplies to be finished. They're being finished now. Anything in the last month or so that I've said was shipping has been held back by lack of supplies, funds for shipping or piss-poor scheduling. Scheduling is no longer my area, I have supplies and that will fix everything else. Adherence of course depends on orders to keep supplies stocked and production running smoothly.

To highlight the new business model:

*Hours of operation: Mon-Fri 9:00am to 6:00pm / Sat. 8:00 am to 12:00pm
*Mon-Wed: work for ebay/incoming orders. Thurs-Sat: backlog work
*Two week turn-around on new orders (from date of payment). I no longer
require full payment for figures. I require a 50% deposit on figures, balance due
on completion.
*Backlog orders are currently shipping and will ship each week on a regular basis.
*Also, as soon as I work it out I'll have something I've never offered before: a public phone number for Sovereign Studio.

Nice post Josh! Les said the same thing...he waited a year and said it's WELL WORTH the wait...so I will continue to wait patiently for my jacket and whip set! :whip

Hey Shawn...
so, I'm a bit confused...
here's what you PM'ed me June 9th:

Got your jacket ready to go. Did you still want a whip, too? I made one for you.
Cheers,

I sent payment on June 12th, and haven't received these yet...
Am I missing something?... :dunno
please, keep me updated...
