Hey guys-
I wanted to post this here for a couple days to see if there's some interest in it, and then we could have this moved over to the Custom Commissions as needed
OK, I've been hooked enough on The Sarah Connor Chronicles to want to see about getting a custom Summer Glau/Cameron head comissioned. I dropped Chris Howes a line, and he's willing to pick this up for us. It's a multi-board project, and I will do my best to crosspost info between the boards as needed to keep everyone up to date.
Details:
All the heads should be molded to fit the Cy Girl style neckpost (i.e. no neck) as no one has requested any other style, and the vast majority of female action figures use this type of neck (Cy Girl, BBi Perfect Body, Aoshima, Soldier Story, Triad, etc). I have sent Chris a Cy Girl 1.0 body and another custom resin head so that he can use these for seeing how the neck has worked with other resin heads, and even make a negative mold of the neckpost if needed. Please be aware that the conical style of the Cy Girl headpost was originally intended to be used for vinyl heads, and may require an adhesive such as Blue-tack to help keep the head on your figure.
Three versions (Cameron Regular, Cameron S2 Battle Damage, and River Tam) will have sculpted-on hard resin hair to help keep costs down. For those who want to use a doll wig, a bald version is also offered.
Prices:
As there is enough interest for several Summer Glau sculpt versions, Chris has been kind enough to offer any of the four versions below (Cameron Regular, Cameron S2 Battle-Damage, River Tam, and Summer bald) for $20.00 each plus $5.00 shipping within the US (up to 5 heads)! This is a special presale price - after casting begins, the cost per head will be $35 plus shipping. To get the presale discount, payment must be sent before actual casting begins. Chris will announce when the presale period is closed.
For those who want a painted version, you do not have to pay twice for shipping! Chris will send them in a large batch to Kuato for painting, and you need only pay Kuato for his paint work and final shipping to you. See the Painting section below for Kuato's pricing. Both are also willing to ship internationally if needed, please contact them directly for shipping quotes.
Painting:
Kuato has generously agreed to offer our group a discount on his painting services! He's offered to do these for $30 each plus $3 shipping per head, which is an excellent rate! His normal rate is $45 a head, and they are every bit worth it. Most other painters I've dealt with for custom painting generally ask about $45-$60 per head, so this really is a great deal! There is a thread of references for his work at the bottom.
Payment:
Paypal is the preferred payment method, but both Chris Howes and Kuato are willing to accept payment via Money Order if you do not use Paypal.
When sending payments to Chris Howes via PayPal, please take a moment to send him a separate order email with the subject line "Summer Glau". This will assist with keeping the orders correct and current given the scale and multi-board nature of this commission. Please include the following information:
UPDATE: Payment information for Chris Howes has been removed due to outstanding orders and lack up updates
Payments for Kuato's painting should be sent separately via Paypal to (UPDATE: Payment information for painting has been removed due to outstanding sculpt orders with Chris Howes, but please hold off on sending payments to Kuato for painting only until Chris Howes has completely finished the sculpt. Kuato is currently working painting a large batch of Batman TDK heads, and wants to get these caught up before beginning on this project.
