Hey guys, I'm new. My name's Jon, from Wisconsin.

So, about a week ago I stumbled upon some photos of impressive Sideshow and Medicom figures and immediately became hooked. For almost every waking hour since I have been researching and planning out the characters I want to find and create. I've already purchased the parts to create 3 of my list of about 25 characters and cannot wait to get them. Custom heads from some of the best sculptors and painters on the forums and limited edition outfits and accessories. They're going to be great. However my bank account is already being punished for my new found hobby. Maybe I'll regret it, but we'll see this week when I get my first 3.

My goal is to create my favorite characters from some of my favorite movies, one day to be displayed on seperate stands, under their own small light, in front of the movie poster they belong to. Let's make it happen.

My collaborations have already included amazing painters Xenoviper and Kuato, as well as masterful sculptors Andy Bergholtz and C. Howes.

Let me know if you want to help me create my list. It's going to be as follows, I have high hopes for all of them.

Darth Maul (Star Wars: Ep 1)
Jango Fett (SW:Ep2)
Anakin Skywalker (SW:Ep3)
Obi Wan - Clone General (SW: Clone Wars)
Han Solo (SW:Ep4)
Boba Fett (SW:Ep5)
Darth Vader/Jedi Luke Skywalker (SW:Ep6)
Batman (Batman Begins)
Joker (The Dark Knight) - DONE
Neo (The Matrix)
James Bond (Casino Royale) - DONE
Jack Bauer (24)
Jason Bourne (The Bourne Identity)
Indiana Jones (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark)
Wolverine (X-Men)
Legolas (Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring)
Cleric John Preston (Equilibrium) - DONE
Daniel Ocean (Ocean's 11)
Rusty Ryan (Ocean's 12)
Linus (Ocean's 13)


please give me any tips you have for making each one the best I can or for other characters to get. I do, however, have almost all of them narrowed to all the pieces I want for them. Hope to get to know all you guys. I have a long, expensive journey ahead of me. I'll post pics when I have something to show.

Hello Wisconsin (in a That 70's Show end of program way)

Welcome Jon.
 
Id keep an eye on the Enterbay Jack Bauer, I think it will be superb. The Head shot already looks amazing, you should also get David Palmer to go with him ;)
 
I've already had the pleasure of meeting you but i'm gonna throw a big WELCOME TO THE BOARD !!!! I hope to help in the future with the rest of the guys on your list Jon :)
