It'd probably cost over a grand though. Fullmetal's stuff isn't cheap, and that 1/6 car... yeah. Big bucks.

I wonder how long until the ML sculpt gets bootlegged once it is released? Seems like a solid cash grab for someone.

I really hope someone could make a decent Mel Gibson´s Mad Max HS. I just can´t handle Tom Hardy as Max...
Yea, the sculpt is beautiful but $350 is insane. You can commission a sculptor here and get a group of 20 people and pay 1/5 the price.

We should really change the title of this thread to "Is Modern Life's Mad Max Tom Hardy headsculpt overpriced???"

Nah, we shouldn't change the title because that question answers itself.

Yeah but i thought this was a thread about the AF figure not a very nice, but very limited so we can somewhat justify our outrageous price on a head sculpt of Tom Hardy as Mad Max thread lol.

According to Modern Life it's an "artisanal creation"; that alone means it's worth more 
Hmmm... zero posts and first one is to promote an over-priced item; not suspicious at all
Agreed... this feels a bit like the time Trevor had someone cast and paint heads for him, in theory a good idea to limit recasting but in the end you got heads with sub-par paint by no-name painters for what it would have cost to have one of the top painters do it for you.
C'mon now... let's just be honest about your affiliation. We're not that dumb
And honestly that's a pretty underwelming set of photos. Unless you guys have one of the worst photographers in the business that is a far cry from the first set of pictures you quoted.

When a company is gouging like ML, it's hard to not want to buy the bootleg for much less just to stick it to them. Even though I know its wrong and companies should be allowed to charge what they want to charge....
Hoping VTS just comes up with a solid full figure.

Well, if all ya'll can do is gripe about the price...
Then you're either
a) not getting any, or
b) you've never actually CREATED something in 1:6 scale - to a reasonably high enough standard of finish - I'm not talking bought some cheap parts from Asia, and slapped them on some cheap bod you can buy for a buck off Ebay! I mean. CREATED as in sat down and agonised over how its going to turn out, were you wise to start down this road? Will you be able to see it to its conclusion - will it even be worth seeing it to a finish - is it really good enough - are your skills really good enough to take a stand against the many (and there are legions) who like to facelessly comment in the negative about EVERYTHING because it costs more than they can afford or looks better than they could EVER make (Whereas if they stopped buying the cheap throw away figures that seem to pour out just to take your dollars) then you'd probably have enough to buy a piece of art instead of knocking a girl/company's skills.
You'll not get a better Hardy sculpt than Toria's artistic Max... until its re-casted in China/Singapore/Hong Kong that is.
Just sayin' is all...

That was a cool story

Or C..
we have better common sense than to spend $365+ shipping on a SINGLE sculpt.
Look at other custom sculpts, like RM's and Iminime.. The sculpts and paint aps are superior to this, and theyre sculpts are $175. More than a $100 for this?? its a nice sculpt, i like it, but not for almost $400...
Im sorry but MANY are not going to bite at this price.

Literally hit the nail on the head. Stating that people are critiquing a sculpt/the price of a sculpt because they can't afford it is pretty asinine. There have been much better sculpts that required no less artistry than ML's Max for much less. Plus the sculpt is by Vimal, an artist who has a sculpt for sale in the interest section for literally 70USD. Granted, it's not painted, but ML's sculpt is not a 300USD paintjob.
