Super Freak
Okay so here's the deal. With Sideshow announcing that they've put the LOTR 12" line on hold, several of us were in an uproar with our incomplete Fellowship. So fellow freaks set about making, what I consider, the perfect complimentary Gimli in a step toward finishing the Fellowship. Literally everything was available through resources to complete the perfect kitbash needing just a minor body mod and repaint. With Gimli done, that only leaves Merry and Pippin. Unfortunately, this is the roadblock. Nobody else really finished the Fellowship either so there aren't many parts readily available, namely USABLE headsculpts for the two Hobbits.
So with that, after talking with Pixletwin, we've decided to commission the headsculpts. We can get them done for about $200 a piece. While that may seem expensive, split between 20 people, that's a measly $10 per dedicated freak. Once the headsculpts are complete, we're considering approaching a fellow freak to see about recasting the commissioned headsculpts in PVC to make them available to everyone for cheaper (plus they'd look better and be more durable too).
So what we're needing is 20 dedicated freaks to put up the initial $10 for the first hard sculpt (pix and I already make up 2) as well as figure out who we're getting done first (the poll is open for 60 days). Once the choice is decided and sculpt completed, we will repeat the process for the other Hobbit.
If you're down for the $10 deposit, PM Pix and he'll tell ya what to do...
I need to clear up a bit of confusion for some people.... Please keep in mind, the initial price is just to have a hard sculpt of the Hobbits made. Once done, that sculpt will be sent to someone else to make PVC recasts. the PVC recasts should be no more than $5-$10 and will be ordered straight from the freak doing the recast.
