Kolchak the Nightstalker interest thread by WGP

[William Shatners Toupee]

Hey, I wanted to give a shout out to anyone who might be into props and have any good pics of Carls tape recorder or know what type it was. We have screen caps from the show, but better ref would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I sewed this for someone:

Eelskin leather belt, CTVT buckle, BattleGear Toys buttons, fabric from a mens shirt, neodymium magnet closures for jacket, snaps for pants.

UPDATE TIME!!!

Got fuzzy cell phone pics of the Kolchak head and hat today fresh out of the printer. Now it gets mailed to me to check for defects before being sent off to be molded and cast.

Sean will be starting the accessories soon as will the suit from WGP's tailors.

Got a bunch of heads from the printer today to clean up and approve before being sent to the mold maker. Here are better pics of Kolchak and the original She-Vamp we are making (her teeth are made separately as dentures.) With them is the crucifix we got to use as part of Carl's accessory set.

He looks great!

When will the haedsculpt and the outfit be available?

 

[samueljd]

Those sculpts look great! The she-vamp actually looks like she fits right into Kolchak's world.

Thanks everyone. Due to the fact that different Kolchak components are being done by different people in the studio, Kolchaks head and hat will likely be molded and actually be ready to be sold by the end of next week/the beginning of the following.

Meanwhile, because his costume is being done by our tailor in a totally different location, the head and costume would always be getting ordered separately by you guys anyways. I am hoping the costume will be done within a month.

Also, the She-vamp head and claws are also being molded and cast by the same molder, and her nightgown costume (for those that don't have their own ideas how to dress her) is being sewn by a completely different seamstress right now too (made to go on a large breasted female (Phicen?) body).

We will also have Kolchaks accessory kit finished by the end of the month. People have been waiting so patiently for this, we just wanted it out there as soon as it was done for those that didn't care about the other parts or wanted to paint it in preparation.

Hey Rick, I think your PM box must be full. I sent you a couple messages earlier in the week and haven't heard back from you.

Nope, the internet gods have just been pooping on me (laugh). I just moved cross country down to Alabama two weekends back but didn't get hooked back up in the new place till last Fri. Then my new internet connection died after only three days running Tues morning and they couldn't get a repair guy out here till this afternoon, so not only have I been mostly offline, but have had several pages of E-mails to catch up on and PMs here too, (not to mention my wife was in the same situation and we have to share our one computer).

I should be able to get to it this weekend

We're game for all of those as long as there is interest.

UPDATE

Just wanted to say I heard back from our tailor and he is gonna try and have the Kolchak outfit done by Sept. He has a few commissions going besides ours, but fingers crossed!

UPDATE!

Update time! First up is the first pics of the tape recorder, still needing a few minor changes (like the placement of the strap loops):

Then we just got these AMAZING pics of our She-Vamp coffin, which will come wrapped in thick chains to keep it's deadly contents trapped inside!

UPDATES

We've made the coffin 1/2 " larger to accommodate your own male vamps too. There will also be a choice of lids: "Normal" and "nailed in with chains".

 

[dwing]

Love the coffin.

 

[mmmmBrains]

Would the coffin be sold separately? I'm thinking that would be sweet for a Nosferatu or Bela Drac.

Yeah, definitely.

UPDATES

I am told by our molder that the Kolchak head and hat will be cast by next weekend.

I am told by our tailor he hopes to have Kolchacks suit and shirt finished this weekend!
