I'm hoping a week or 2 after the Avengers. I have an email in with the printers about that. I'll post when he replies. There's a good chance we will start using other printers with future works, no since sticking with one printer when maybe another can fit us in sooner.

Avengers is printing. It's time for me to update everyone's info and match it to my paypal payments.

Most know the routine. Please email me (do not PM). I keep everything in email format so, PM doesn't help me.

1. Your order: Avengers Reg and or Variant
2. Your real name and shipping address
3. Your forum name
4. If you ordered the Gaurdians regular or set and need a matching number - what was your number?? If you only got a Guardians Variant you won't get a matching number. Only the reg numbers will match your Avengers.

Your order should match what you've already paid for. No sneakys :)

If you need my email again, pm me for it.

Getting me this info early insures that yours doesn't get shipped last!!
Everyone will get a shipping quote from me once I have these in hand, but please still send me the email asap.

Domestic fedex has been running us 17-21.00. FedEx is what we will use for domestic shipping as I have never had 1 issue with them and I can't say that for the post office and it's easier on me for printing labels and dropping off. International will go USPS express.

We have another Marvel print lined up after X-Men. We will announce in a few weeks. It's gonna be huge!!

Has everyone seen my Ultron print for the Marvel HCG show? Long story short, after printing the whole run I found out I could only contribute 10 prints to the show. So I'm left with a handful of APs I'm making available just to members of the GOTG and Avengers commission right now. You can see the print here (http://imgur.com/a/napCF) although pics don't do the petallic silver ore paper it's printed on justice. Contact Frobay if interested.

The general mentality over there is that everything should be priced like a mass produced general release print. The point everyone seems to be missing is this is a private commission. Unless you're in the group, you're owed absolutely nothing!!

I completely agree with you Hellboy. People were acting like complete fools on his Facebook page and acting like they knew how to price his stuff better than he did. Most of those people have never even bought anything of his. I own about 8 of his prints and appreciate all the hard work he has done to create them.

At the end of the day, an artist is free to choose any amount they damn well please for something they created and APs they own. If they don't sell at those prices, it is his problem and he will either sit on them or lower the price points. As usual, most of the comments there stem out of butthurt/jealousy. His responses on FB certainly didn't help the situation but I probably would have done the same thing if people attacked me regarding something that was none of their damn business. I could see him losing some potential customers over it in the end, though, which is unfortunate.

Even though I wasn't planning on it I'm considering picking this up now. I've always been a big fan of the art on this one but sold my original copy a while back. I actually think the color composition works better on this Scarlet Variant too.

Question though, I know those that ordered the regular or variant of this before get $10 off and I did receive the email, which I think contained a coupon code, but I deleted it thinking I wouldn't use it. Anyone recall what the code is or will the $10 just come off automatically since I ordered the original? Thanks!

So here is the latest on these and unfortunately it comes with a bit of bad news. These went to print and for various reasons, which I'm not going to get into the specifics of right now as the situation is still very fluid, Nakatomi Inc. botched the printing job.

As a result of this we're currently in the process of moving the printing of both 'The Avengers' and the 'Dark Guardians Variant' to another company. We've narrowed it down to two companies, both of which seem very enthusiastic about our commission and are ready to go to print as soon as we get them Alex's work. This will be happening ASAP!

So rest assured everyone is still getting their print, it's just going to be a few more weeks until we have these in hand unfortunately.

I apologize for the extended wait but what Nakatomi Inc. put forward was completely unacceptable as far as FROBAY and I were concerned. We want to deliver the best print possible and we're currently taking the steps to make that happen so please be patient with us. I'll elaborate on the details of what transpired with Nakatomi as soon as we can. Thanks all.

I've got an important announcement to make

As you all know we recently had an issue with Tim Doyle of Nakatomi Inc. in regards to printing our Avengers commission. In a nutshell he basically botched our printing job and was trying to force us to take his shoddy work. We flat refused and demanded he either reprint the run, at his expense, or refund us so we could take the project elsewhere. He fought us on both counts. Not wanting to admit fault and not wanting to take a hit financially for his screw up. After a lot of back and forth he finally conceded and granted us our refund, we moved on, thinking we could just put it all behind us. The project is now in good hands but the defective prints were in the hands of Tim Doyle. He assured us he was just going to recycle the paper so he didn't lose money on the botched print job. Since he was holding the group's money hostage we had to trust he'd be a man of his word as it was the only way we'd get 100% of what we gave him back. Well, he's isn't a man of his word. The following week after all this went down he had his Mystery Tube sale where he inserts random prints into a tube for a flat price. Rather than destroying our botched run he trimmed them down to 18x24 and sold them in his tubes unbeknownst to us. Until today that is when we noticed several up for sale on eBay.

While this is now beyond our control that doesn't mean we're going to let him get away with this unscathed. We're creating a thread on EB slamming him, his reputation there matters to him and we're encouraging anyone here who is an EB member to chime in. Either FROBAY or myself will post a link to the thread once he has created it.

Also, we are reporting all the auctions on eBay as this work is a reprint/fake of a private commission. I would encourage all of you here that are eBay users to do the same as the more reports that come in the better as it will be hard for eBay to ignore.

This is all very unfortunate. Please know that both FROBAY and myself did everything we could to keep something like this from happening. We thought after Guardians this commission was in good hands but we quickly realized after encountering some problems that Tim Doyle did not have our best interest in mind this time around.

Test prints means there should have been ink on top of the avengers from testing inks for other prints. He didn't do this.

Alex tells me he did not okay this and frankly the verbal and email (contract) with Tim is clear that the group of commissioners are the purchasers. No one had the right to okay this as we purchased the art and we the commissioners were paying for the printing.

These prints were center cut with the intention of ripping the group off. All the above is my opinion and belief.

In all honesty, the copyright infringement is a moot point.

Not if Alex decides to sue

Probably right


Thought about this a bit and just for intellectual discussion, I doubt this would be considered theft or stealing bc the posters did not belong to the artist or commissioner since they were not paid for. That's why it's either breach of contract (he wasn't supposed to keep the posters and he did) or copyright infringement (he sold or distributed art that is copyrighted by Alex)

That's all. Will have Frobay PayPal me my fees. :drooling:

The EB thread, and by a larger extension EB itself, is populated by trolls and members that get off on other people's misery. Everybody is a comedian and the Tim Doyle thread itself is full of brown nosers & apologists. Their analogies are laughable. Comparing our situation to buying a t-shirt? :laugh:

I made my post laying out just the facts knowing full well most would still claim Tim did nothing wrong or that we're making something out of nothing. It doesn't make a difference how clear a picture you paint for these fools most will have a complete lack of sympathy or even the capability to understand that we were deceived, Tim capatilzed on his mistake and despite finally providing us with a refund set us back to square one in terms of printing. Yeah, he's a real stand up guy that backs his work. :rolleyes2

Regardless we've made our peace with the situation and are moving on. At the end of the day the fact that the art is not in Tim's hands anymore is a positive.

This whole situation is very off putting and really reinforces my disdain for EB and its membership. In this last month I have had nothing but extreme grief negotiating 2 innocuous poster deals that both fell through over there despite affording the lions share to the other party. At the same time I sold two rare statues to members here and would easily have them stay with my family if they came to see the mountains, the transactions were that pleasant.

What's worse is these people act like they got something special.

Decided to pop on ebay and look at some of these bad prints. Yeah, they are definitely terrible. Who would want a print trimmed like that? And you can see the colors are off. Looks like a big splotch of gray.

I kind of feel bad reporting these auctions, since it is not their fault they were sent these prints. It should go against the printer that did this, not the poor people that received them.

All these Scratched and Dent ones being resold?
Are these the cut up ones people have been mentioning.

Well that is good to hear about not using Doyle in future.
Just a question as this is my first commission print. Will these be shipped rolled up with tissue paper or something to prevent damage during transit?

Hellboy
05-30-2015, 02:01 AM
Those are the bastardized versions of our print that Tim sold in his Mystery Tubes being resold by those that purchased them. There was nothing "scratch and dent" about them, that's just how he labeled them since they've been trimmed down. All the flaws in the alignment, color bleeds etc., that were there when we refused them are still present. The quality of our prints will be far superior to this hack job.

Our prints will be shipped in a sturdy Yazoo Mills tube carefully rolled with craft and tissue paper. Anyone who was in on the Guardians commission can attest to the quality of the packing.

I have to tell you guys, seeing the responses in that EB discussion and just my overall experience with the people of that community, I am really considering just getting out of this hobby. I know I could collect without ever interacting with people like that again, but now there is this permanent association I find with prints and the self entitled elitists found at Expressobeans. Just a bad taste I don't think I'll ever be able to get rid of.
Ronald, you can't let those bozos stray you away from this hobby. I very rarely post there, but continue to check the site and forum for release updates. Many members there are wannabe comedians as they wallow in the misery of others while they take pleasure in the process.

I read through that whole discussion and it's disappointing to know that Tim took such a shady approach and some of those members are worst with their attitude as they are trying to come up with ways to justify his actions. Also I can't believe Tim is excusing himself with the notion of "it wasn't communicated to me". It's not something you need to be told and schooled about, especially when you are a fellow artist yourself.

I liked some of his prior works and enjoyed reading his posts on Twitter, but after all this I had to unfollow him.

Yeah, I know I shouldn't let their actions effect me. I just find it a little sad to see what is supposed to be a community of like minded individuals, is actually cesspool of trolling, passive aggressive, and idiotic individuals. Every time there is a glimmer of hope in the occasional well thought out post by someone who seems capable of objective and rational thought, they get snuffed out by constant sarcasm and endless waves of moronic GIFs.

Anyway, after I made that post I realized our sites interest in art and prints has grown quite a bit. I can simply discuss the hobby right here. Aside from their extensive database, there is no need to visit Expressobeans again.

Tim is not to blame. Can anyone prove that people actually have these trimmed posters. I just see Internet images of them. And if, and that's a BIG IF, they were mailed out, how exactly did they get into the tube? For all any of you ignoramuses know, Tim has a pet chimpanzee who could have stuffed the posters into the tube. Does anyone have a video of Tim putting the posters into the tubes? I thought not.
