What does the middle column price represent? Each additional statue (so it's like a discount if you buy more than one)?

I'm liking the resin kit price, though. Only $400 USD. Damn... I so wish I could grab this guy, but my money's tied up in other collectibles! If only I swallowed my pride and sprang for the resin kit of the bust earlier. No doubt the price on that would've been reasonable as well.

 

[thx217]

It represents the member's pricing. The pricing of the Kit version is actually really GREAT, have it and the SELE reserved a while ago. Can't wait!

Looks like this shot is missing.


Cool shot.

Sweet! Congrats!

 

[thx217]

Hobbysearch should have the piece up this week. And yes, they ship internationally.

 

[draekus]

Wait so how do I go about ordering this if I'm in the USA? And what's the difference between all the different versions?
Is there a version that comes completely painted like the proto seen in the pictures?
I've never ordered anything from this company before...how are their products quality-wise?

 

[xenom0rph]

Same questions as draekus, any summary on all the different version in english? What's painted, built, what not?

 

[demorathis]

Same questions as draekus, any summary on all the different version in english? What's painted, built, what not?

Also,
for anyone who either understands Japanese fluently or has theoriginal 1/3 busts and knows about them I have some questions:

All I know if that the special color version is custom and supervized by Sano, and the Black versions are not. However The black versions they also call N or Normal Color of the suit versions (same number in qty as Special version, so I know it doesnt mean that it's more common, but less expensive)

My main question is, if they've described the Black version as the normal / accurate suit color, is the special version like, amp'd up versions of the color - or what the colors should ideally be that the prop isn't?

Thanks in advance anyone who can answer these questions. ... I prefer the black version - cuz I prefer them less bronzy, but I like how the special version's skull appears better especially in the eyesockets - of the statues and the busts...


ALSO - are these resin, cold cast porcelain, or polystone - (or are resin, cold-cast porcelain, and polystone exactly the same thing)?

I wished they painted the teeth and nails Chrome --- that was the one thing I remember that giger wanted changed on the Cinemaquette -- chrome teeth and nails...

 

[SilentSurfer]

So, the kit version was limited to 50 and it's sold out. Lame. So much for getting this.

 

[thx217]

I don't read Japanese but from the look of the pics, it should be very clear what version is what, doesn't it?

 

[demorathis]

I don't read Japanese but from the look of the pics, it should be very clear what version is what, doesn't it?

It's definitely clear which is which - but what is the provenance of the detail? kIs the Special version "more" accurate or simply more detailed which is the obvious observation. Or is the special version more "idealized" what was intended for it to be?

I prefer the black version b/c it resembles most of Gigers sculpted works and is described as the "normal" suit color - though I remember the suit had more brown in it....


Re the elbow spikes, does anyone know if the absence of it on the actual Giger statue in Switzerland imply that it was an intentional design change? or was it simply missing and never replaced? ... The Marmit added them in (though way innacurate) ... I was hoping Roswell would do the same, but more accurate than the Marmit...
