Wished these came painted.

dan350zr · Dec 6, 2014

$400-$500 unassembled/unpainted? might be a bit of a tough sell, I'm guessing it's the license costs... I imagine your looking $300-$400 to pay someone to assemble it and paint it.. someone who is good anyways. So $800-$900 for a finished statue.... I think it's viable IF the poses and details are several notches above the competition.

It's for 1/4 scale not 1/6

Ahh, I was reading Sosa's list of DC 1/6th, so $400-$500 for unassembled and unpainted 1/4...thats still a huge stretch. I just don't think so.

I know the pricing seems high but you are likely going to be talking about XM quality statues once assembled and painted by a professional. I'm certainly going to be in for the characters SS isnt doing. Others will depend on design.

Design will defiantly be the make or break it for these kits at this price level. There going to have to be something really special and not just museum poses.

Getting them painted and assembled is the issue for me. Given you are going to spend that much money on an unfinished kit means you can't experiment yourself. Oh well...

I feel the same. I kind of hope that there is an option to have them sent to a customizer to have them painted built into the process. However, I won't lie for a limited edition kit, Es of 200 or so, it might be great to give it a shot.

dan350zr · Dec 6, 2014

If the designs come out jaw dropping I might see if I can just paypal Spazzy and have him order it for me and then build and paint it and then send it to me once it's done....

Adolfo · Dec 6, 2014

The 1/6 pieces I would be interested .. Plus I can paint

I have already seen a pic of a Batman head portrait on Erick Sosa's Facebook page, and I HAVE to tell you it was STUNNING.

The one from 2011? It was okay, but not $500 not painted okay.

Sweet Rabbit · Dec 6, 2014

it'll be a grand by the time somebody finishes one of these

Spidey976 · Dec 6, 2014

I think it all depends on how well they design this one. If they were to use magnets and such to put it all together and not require glue and putty then all you might need is the paint job. I wonder if Sosa might be able to provide a painting tutorial for each one. Here are your tools and paints and here is how to do it kind of thing. I can follow instructions... lol.

unless you want flat paint job I don't think a paint by numbers is going to do it buddy

Not paint by numbers m8. More of a these are the tools and the paint techniques you could use. I know Vince and a few other painters have done that type of thing occasionally.

Edit:

Oh and here is the pic I was talking about. Sosa had for his profile picture yesterday after he made the 1/4 announcement.

DVDVampire · Dec 7, 2014

Just take my money already.

GeneralZodLives · Dec 7, 2014

Yikes! The price makes them a pass for me. I look forward to seeing what the end result looks like after people get them finished.
