Conan the Barbarian License!

[Chronicle CS]

New announcement!

We've been working on this for some time...

We will be using the 1984 digital files to make this figure as accurate as our 1/4 Genisys Arnold.

Paul

[Gruson]

Wow, you guys are on a roll!

Very cool, this will make a LOT of people happy.

[marker2037]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuqin awesome!!!!!!

Mixed media piece, Paul? Or fully sculpted?

[Viper245]

Woohoo!! :buttrock::buttrock:

I can't wait to see what you guys come up with for this piece.


Paul, Will there be different versions of Conan from Barbarian or is the King Conan the only piece in the planning?

[BLADES OF STEAL]

Wow! This statue has been requested by the statue community for years. Crazy timing with the PCS 1/3 coming as well. Add me to the pre order list.

[Chronicle CS]

We've been working on this since day one, we just now finalized our deal. It will be mixed media and exactly as you see it.

With the 1984 Digital version we have from Genisys we can pose it for so many other characters.... ;)

[marker2037]

OMG that is AMAZING news. :buttrock: :buttrock:

[brucecamblzchin]

This is FANTASTIC news, I think I will hold out a purchase of the Genisys Arnold and wait for this.

[Viper245]

Yup, I agree Bruce. 1/4 Endo is a buy for sure but Genisys Arnold just got pushed off my buy list to see what masterpieces come out of this license. All hail the Barbarian!!

So are you saying other versions of Conan from the film are planned as well, Paul?

[Chronicle CS]

We also have Thulsa Doom and the Movie Poster Art on our license...

Legend of Conan is coming!!!!!!!!

[CallMe_Snake]

WOW... And with the digital scan of Arnold from Genisys... This will be the most accurate Arnold likeness available. Unbelievable!

[Chronicle CS]

Wait till you see our 1/2 1984 Arnold bust with two heads, it's unreal.....

[One Above All]

I did not know they used 3D modeling in the 1984 Conan movie

:vortex:

[CallMe_Snake]

I can imagine, the most recent shots of the CG '84 Arnold I've seen from the film are absolutely unbelievable. The fact that you have access to that for these collectibles is so freaking awesome.

Chronicle will be THE authority on all things Arnold! Haha :)

http://i.imgur.com/ReY9eic.jpg

I still can't get over that digital Arnold... Wow.

[Chronicle CS]

Just wait, we'll be your go to Arnold source very soon. ;)


Our 1/4 Genisys Arnold has made waves in a good way.....

[CallMe_Snake]

I did not know they used 3D modeling in the 1984 Conan movie

:vortex:

They mean the CG model from Genisys.. :)
They can use that for other Arnold based items to get his likeness down.

[Viper245]

Spectacular realism!

[marker2037]

^Yea that looks CRAZY good for digital

Chronicle definitely has Arnold in its corner

[One Above All]

They mean the CG model from Genisys.. :)
They can use that for other Arnold based items to get his likeness down.

ok

I understand now

thanks

:)

[CallMe_Snake]

Yep, that's an awesome resource that came from the Genisys license. A great resource to have. Awesome how that worked out.

Hmm... Not too drag up and beat that dead horse again...
But imagine Dutch from Predator using the '84 scan as a base for the likeness....

Ugh. Got to get that Predator license out of SS's death grip somehow. Lol

[Chronicle CS]

Our 1/4 Genisys Arnold has opened a lot of doors.... ;)

[CallMe_Snake]

Ah, that's great to know... :) So much awesomeness on the way. Geek overload, almost too much for one night. Haha..

All this awesome news, plus reports that Jurassic World is amazing... I need to get to bed. Lol

[One Above All]

the 1/2 Arnold busts will be for Conan?

:vortex:

[azurepred]

WOW... And with the digital scan of Arnold from Genisys... This will be the most accurate Arnold likeness available. Unbelievable!

I wouldn't go that far. PCS has just as good resources for their 1/3 Conan. It's a good thing both companies are doing different scales, or else it would be some fierce competition. There still might be, depending on prices, pose, etc

[marker2037]

Paul, you mention the movie poster art.

Are we to assume that this pose will be another of the 1/4 pieces you speak of along with a Thulsa Doom?

Hmmm I may be reading too much into this, but with the hints you're dropping could you possibly mean that you maaaaaaay have scored a Predator or T1/T2 license??? :drooling::praying:

[Dirt Torpedo]

Holy ----, more Arnold greatness.

[The Mule]

Oh f--k.

[rjszar]

Hmmm I may be reading too much into this, but with the hints you're dropping could you possibly mean that you maaaaaaay have scored a Predator or T1/T2 license??? :drooling::praying:

Anything Arnie will be great. I'm not going to hold my breath on T1, but that would just be the ultimate.

Terminator, JP/JW and now Conan. My head is spinning. :vortex:

[CAIN MKII]

Insanely cooooool.
Arnold IS Conan.
I'm not too interested by king Conan sitting on his throne, but I will take Conan the Barbarian chopping heads off for sure ;)

[Sledge Hammer!]

..

[warhead]

Finally!:buttrock:

[Gono]

:buttrock::buttrock::buttrock:

[wanderlai]

Oh lawd....great news. I thought the PCS Conan would be it for me but Conan on a throne...I can't pass on that.

[CallMe_Snake]

I wouldn't go that far. PCS has just as good resources for their 1/3 Conan. It's a good thing both companies are doing different scales, or else it would be some fierce competition. There still might be, depending on prices, pose, etc

I don't doubt they might turn out a great product, but speaking solely about acuracy on the likeness of Arnold.. how are they going about that?
Do they have access to a high-res digital scan of Arnold from 1984 like Chronicle does? Are they using a life-cast of Arnolds face? Or is it being sculpted from scratch?

That's what will set all of Chronicle's Arnold pieces apart from anyone else's in my opinion.. I don't know of another instance when a life-cast of Arnold has ever been used for a collectible piece..

[KoBE]

I woke up to this incredible news. It's going to be a great Friday!

[The SHOGUN]

KING CONAN 1/4 scale. 4th Quater 2015. YES YES YES YES YES YES

I can't wait to see what you guys have in store.

Shifting Gears to the 1:2 Terminator Bust, is there a chance as an exclusive you would be able to include a 1:2 scale pair of Gargoyles?

[The SHOGUN]

What's funny is in the PCS thread i requested:
-King Conan
-Barbarian Movie Poster

looks like Chronicle is granting my wishes!

[The SHOGUN]

Now if someone would turn the iconic Conan the Barbarian poster into a statue, I'd pretty much have all the Conan goodness I'd ever dreamt of from that particular movie...

:)

We also have the Movie Poster Art on our license...

[Bobfrog]

We've been working on this since day one, we just now finalized our deal. It will be mixed media and exactly as you see it.

With the 1984 Digital version we have from Genisys we can pose it for so many other characters.... ;)

So Paul, just out of curiosity, when you say you are using digital files from 1984 what exactly were they originally produced with; was it done using some sort of laser scanner of arnold's head (or a casting) or something entirely different?

Stuff like zbrush wasn't available in those days and the effects on films from that era were certainly not that great that a computer digital likeness could have fooled an audience so it just makes me curious how the files look so good from that period.

Whatever the answer I am sure this is gonna look amazing. grail gets thrown around a lot but this has more potential than most to achieve that instantly.

You gonna try get Arnold to do a signature run on these as well btw?

[CallMe_Snake]

Can't speak for Paul but...

Apparently they're are able to use the digital file from Genisys for the likeness.

Back during the filming of the original Terminator film, Stan Winston took a life-cast of Arnold for the make-up and other effects.

All these years later, for the making of Genisys, Legacy Studios was able to do a high-res scan of that original life-cast for the digital Arnold in the new movie.

In essence, it's like they were able to go back in time and get Arnold to sit down and be scanned with today's tech. Pretty awesome stuff. :)

[Python]

Wait till you see our 1/2 1984 Arnold bust with two heads, it's unreal.....


When will we see this out of interest? I'm a big fan of 1/2 busts personally.

Congratulations on the Conan license.

[Chronicle CS]

Thank you guys, we've actually had this license for almost a year, so it's not something we went after recently.

We have 1/4 King Conan on the Throne, 1/6th Movie Poster recreation and 1/4 Thulsa doom.

If King Conan performs well we can do 1/2 and 1-1 busts and props.

While doing Terminator Genisys the production gave us the CGI files for 1984 Arnold, what do you do with 84 Arnold? What don't you do with 84 Arnold? ;)

We'll be using these files to create our Conan products for ultimate accuracy.

If you've seen our 1/4 Genisys Arnold you know how accurate it really is. Arnold approved it with zero changes which is a first on the history of Arnold products ..... His Handlers told us it's the best likeness from the terminator franchise...

[qz33]

Oh man oh man oh man! Are you guys & Jerry making statue babies together?

Would you guys consider doing a super deluxe version with switch out bearded/young heads and harem? You guys are so quickly becoming one of the most awesome statue makers and I don't even have anything in hand from you yet!!!

Yeah having an Arnold likeness this god is definitely something to maximize.

C'mon Jerry if they did another movie with Arnold would you at least think about more?

This is my Conan dream piece. So awesome and definitely fit for the movie King Conan. Could even do young and old gray bearded swithcout portraits.

That sounds fantastic, Paul! Accuracy at it's best!

I can't wait to see all this Conan greatness.

I love the idea of a movie poster recreation. Have you considered upping the scale on it to 1/5 scale? I am thinking 1/6 might be a bit small.

[PermaGrin]

While doing Terminator Genisys the production gave us the CGI files for 1984 Arnold, what do you do with 84 Arnold? What don't you do with 84 Arnold? ;)


Ha. I thought you were saying you guys were using digital files FROM 1984.

[Chronicle CS]

There are no files from 1982....

[marker2037]

I'd also love a switchout young Arnold head on the King Conan. I think that option would be incredible to have the two options.

[Chronicle CS]

We are locked on our three products out of the gate, King Conan, Thulsa and Movie Poster.

I'm not partial to Destroyer and to me the classic King Conan is from the first film....

[marker2037]

Cool stuff Paul, I was just posting for the fun of putting more Arnold pics in the thread :)

[The Mule]

It's an awesome new about Thulsa. I know I've bugged Jerry too for it, he's an underrated character with an awesome desing and costume.

Do you already have in mind when this King Conan will be on PO? A rough estimate, like, "end of the year" or sooner :)

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

Hi Chronicles Collectibles,

Any chances to see this version of Conan?

[Viper245]

First 1/4 scale Thulsa Doom ever done.

I have no doubt it will be a masterpiece!

[Chronicle CS]

PO for King Conan will be right after Comic Con and we hope to have the figure there on display... Like I said we've been working on it for some time...

[qz33]

This is one of the most amazing announcements!

Close to PCS announcing they would be doing Filmation He-Man which got me into this statue nonsense.

[The Mule]

Awesome. So, help me keeping track... Spider Tank should be next month, and Conan somewhere around August, right?

[Chronicle CS]

It's high on my list after we get past King Conan, if he's popular we'll move on to other projects. ;)

With Legend of Conan shooting next year, we want to be first in line for new licensing. Production companies want to see you can get product out for the films release. With terminator Genisys we have gotten out six products and shipping three....

Paul

[Johnny Utah]

Paul, are 1/6 figures part of this deal? As in HT style figures, not statues? I want to get so hyped, statues are amazing, but 1/6 figures are my thing.

[Chronicle CS]

Just statues right now, but we could do other things if King sells well...

I was wondering when he'd show up :laugh:

[Sledge Hammer!]

..

[Viper245]

I don't know about Thulsa Doom, mainly because of room issues more than anything else, but King Conan and the 1:6 movie poster re-creation (which hopefully included both Conan and Valeria) will both be mine.

I am thinking the same thing, Sledge. I hope Valeria is included in the movie poster recreation as well. I am not much of a 1/6 scale collector anymore but I'll make an exception in this case. I wonder if Paul would consider going 1/5 scale instead on the movie poster recreation piece.

[qz33]

I know about Thulsa Doon. Definite get!


C'mon Paul just come back in the thread and say "Conan" some more!

[Comicbookguy]

Wow this and pcs at the same time? I'm trying to save money but how can I. Lol.... Ok please make these great and a decent not overkill ES, so that I can buy them please. Again where do I look for these to buy? Lcs have them? Do we get discounts ordering from lcs? Also will there be reg and ex?

[Barbarian]

I don't know about Thulsa Doom, mainly because of room issues more than anything else, but King Conan and the 1:6 movie poster re-creation (which hopefully included both Conan and Valeria) will both be mine.
I want them all even though I also have space issues. Hell, that's never stopped me before, and I'll be damned if it's gonna stop me now!

Well, if it was 1/6, it would prolly go swimmingly with your Moore Barb piece. :thumbs2:

[The Mule]

Yeah, if I wore a cap, I'd tip it to Paul. Definitely a brilliant move using the Genisys CGI files for other Arnold statues. I bet nobody would have given 2 cents to the Genisys license one year ago, and yet it's proving very worthwile. A true Kansas City shuffle, congrats.

[warhead]

There are no files from 1982....

Exactly...which is why I was confused at first.

With you being able to get the Genisys Arnold signed, what is the potential the same can be done for some of these?

Sure some that are dying for the throne would kill for a sig attached to it.

[Chronicle CS]

CONAN!

Movie pieces is where it's at.

[Viper245]

Agreed Bruce. I think I am down for all three pieces Paul has revealed for this line. I was sort of planning to pass on Thulsa Doom but who am I kidding? I can't resist good Conan pieces.

Count me in for all three, Paul. It's going to be epic! :buttrock:

[brucecamblzchin]

Three pieces!? Oh god.

[Viper245]

Three pieces!? Oh god.

Yup, they are doing a 1/4 scale King Conan, a 1/4 scale Thulsa Doom, and a 1/6 scale statue of the poster art.

[brucecamblzchin]

Oh ok, the poster I can skip but I definitely need the King Conan.

[paris]

1/4 scale King Conan and i am Sold.

[Viper245]

Paul, will there by any pics posted of King Conan before he makes his appearance at SDCC?

I am pretty eager to see how he turns out.

Also, a general idea on asking price will help in my planning towards placing an order when the time comes.

Thanks :)

[Johnny Utah]

What's the average price of a Chronicle 1/4 scale statue?

[Webb]

What's the average price of a Chronicle 1/4 scale statue?

Endo 1/4 was $500.00.Doesn't mean Conan will be the same price.I hope so.

[marker2037]

I don't think there is or can be an "average". Each piece is unique so far.

[Viper245]

I don't think there is or can be an "average". Each piece is unique so far.

I agree. Every piece from Chronicle so far has been very unique.

[Python]

What's the average price of a Chronicle 1/4 scale statue?

$499.50 plus shipping. Not hard to workout as they've only released two 1/4 pieces so far I believe, the Endo at $500 and the Terror dog at $499. Doesn't really tell you much though in reality.

[Conehead]

Congrats ,looking forward your Conan.

[brucecamblzchin]

Oh man, we will see this at SDCC? Awesomeness. I think I will have to get this one, PCS' Conan is 1/3 and sounds like they might get Arnold's sig which will push it into the stratosphere for $$$.

[zeus]

At least they have 10 month payment which makes it affordable for those who can wait.

[Sledge Hammer!]

[Bob Morton]

When will we get a tease of this statue? Cheers.

Where are you ? :thumbs2:

[Chronicle CS]

We have a 12 month payment plan on one item....

[Webb]

Conan sitting on that Throne I guess the price will be a little more than we are used to on 1/4's so far.

[Thor57]

Where are you ? :thumbs2:

I'm confused, does location have something to do with it?

Anyhow, I was asking because I wasn't sure if he was referring to PCS's payment plan, or if CC was going to have an ongoing payment plan. If CC does, that pretty much ensures I'll be hopping on board with their Conan and future Terminator licenses.

[Khev]

I'm confused, does location have something to do with it?

I think he meant what forum are you posting in.

[Thor57]

Yeah, I get that. Its just the 10 month payment plan post was in direct response to someone posting about the possible high price of PCS 1/3 Conan. Wasn't sure if they were saying they had 10 months to pay that off, not CC related. So that works.

[Chronicle CS]

As far as I know with the exception of one company that copied our payment plans, we are the only one to offer a ten month.

Won't have Conan for SDCC, we are printing 1984 Arnold as the Terminator right now. But we should have something to look like shortly after.

Yeah it's not like now we're going to have to wait until next year's SDCC or anything. They've been showing us pieces almost every step of the way. I imagine they'll just show us peeks or whatever whenever it's ready whether that be five days after the con or five weeks.

[Darkhumor]

I gotsta have this, especially if you got the King on his throne. :buttrock:

[Chronicle CS]

We are moving ahead with King Conan, we are right now getting our reference together for his costume. The Licensor is trying to get us some information. I'm putting the call out that if you have any behind the scenes photos, high quality screen grabs, please send them to me or post them up.

Very excited to see the 1:4 Doom and King Conan pieces. I'm happy this is based off the first movie as opposed to the second.

[Chronicle CS]

It's fun watching the sculpt come together, it's come a long way in a very short time. I hope to start sharing some pictures when we get a little further along. I just don't want to have fifty emails asking why his costume is different when we are just working out the pose and character. ;)

[Darkhumor]

PVC??? Nooooooooooooooo!!! Whats going to be PVC on the statue? I don't care to pay more for quality materials used, as long as there isn't a shred of plastic on my statues I purchase.

[Chronicle CS]

Resin is plastic?

We use PVC on several products in areas where there may be flex or easy breakage. The density is virtually the same as resin and once painted other than that piece being somewhat flexible, you wouldn't know unless we told you...

Paul

[Enforcer]

I think that is an unhealthy fear of plastic. Just because the world has made a career out of using plastic for the vast majority of cheapo products out there doesn't mean it's a terrible choice. PVC is a very high quality form of resin plastic. We use it for our water systems, and people even build bows made of nothing but PVC. I think that's a pretty good testament to the strength of the material, and that is what matters as far as I am concerned, is strength and durability over weight.

Here's a thought: Kevlar weighs far less than steel yet is far stronger. Do we judge kevlar as cheap material because of it's weight?

I don't expect any of this to change minds, but not changing your mind doesn't make it any less true. PVC is a fantastic material and I will always welcome it when it is used with the best of intentions.

[Darth Milo]

I actually prefer pvc for the headsculpt, just like Blitzway did with their 1/3 Bruce Lee statue..

Uhh...what? :doh!:

PVC is one of the best materials out there for doing figures. It's amazing high quality stuff.

[Darkhumor]

Yeah, so Paul should make these King Conans completely pvc so there would be plenty left over and would sit in the warehouse unsold, like SSC Man of Steel pf still is. :laugh:

I remember when plenty of people were excited for that piece, and then they dumped it as soon as reviews started coming in that it was pvc. There's plenty of people trying to sell it now, on the secondary market, and theyre stuck with it because nobody wants to touch it.

Im sorry but no matter what anybody says, that are high up on pvc, nobody wants to spend their hard earned money on plastic. The majority of high end, large scale, (statue) collectors dont. I even put up a thread about pvc that Igo responded to, trying to justify pvc, right before the man of steel fiasco. And he had to eat his words right after that ordeal had exploded in sideshow's face. The many have spoken over the few pvc lovers, and that exact situation proved my point.

[jaxon]

PVC Not even an issue for me. Sculpt and paint will far out way what material is used. Don't compare to Sideshow, it wasn't the material that stopped me from buying it. Please check Enterbay and Blitzway to see how it's done.

[One Above All]

Blitzway's doing some amazing work with their PVC/Polystone hybrid pieces. Their Bruce Lee statues and upcoming Marilyn Monroe look fantastic, in my opinion.

[The Mule]

I see both sides of the argument, but imho, PVC use must be justified. Recently I've seen polystone/resin pieces with a godly paint app (Iron Studios seems to have nailed human skin paint perfectly).
Is PVC being used for the head sculpt to grant a better paint app? That's good. Is it being used for, say, the spear on Conan's side? That's not good, it can be done with resin or a mix of resin and metal.
One thing to keep in mind is that PVC is cheaper than polystone. No matter how many times people try to go around it, PVC is cheaper and if PVC is used I expect final price to reflect the use of a cheaper material.

That said, Paul only mentioned PVC generically, as far as we know it could be used for the small rings decorating the throne, or something very minor like that.

i agree. pvc should be used only where it makes the piece better. metal sword is a must.

[Dirt Torpedo]

It's already been said that Chronicle 'hope' to bring it under 1K. I'm out at that price point even if it was solid resin.

[brucecamblzchin]

People wouldn't buy a kick ass Conan on throne of it had any PVC? That's nuts to me man.

[rjszar]

There may be something on the clothing, some accessory that needs to be flexible, so PVC would be the way to go. I don't think it's going to be any great percentage of the statue.

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Notat the price point we're talikng about

If I recall, when you do really large pieces PVC actually starts to become the more expensive material. If you want sculpts with a ton of detail and the best paint applications, PVC is by far the best material.

The only advantage these other ones have is weight, which is completely meaningless.

[CAIN MKII]

I second that

Nope, PVC is still cheaper. Macaluso talked about widely back then. I know that PVC can pack a ton of detail, but same goes for resin. We're seeing statues that easily rival any Hot Toys production out there. Sorry but the material might not bother some of you, but still counts to me.

[qz33]

I saved this it was so interesting.

Theres a few reasons PVC statues look better than polystone.

Two main factors are PVC can be painted by machine as its strong enough to handle the process. Polystone can break or chip.

Second is every PVC statue comes out of a steel mold EXACTLY the same as the previous one so you can use copper spray masks for paint details.

Polystone comes out of a soft rubber mold and every piece has some slight variation which means the spray masks wont fit accurately

PVC is by far the superior material and process as is shown in the Yamato pieces. Polystones 'superiority' was basically a marketing gimmick created in the late 90s by companies that couldnt afford to do PVC.

Unfortunately, as soon as you get over ~12" the cost of the steel molds for PVC goes through the roof so a 1:4 scale pvc statue is even more expensive than a comparable polystone statue, unless you are making thousands of pieces in which case the cost of PVC comes down dramatically.

So, for example. A 22" statue of Goro will cost significantly more to make in PVC UNTIL you hit about 3000 pcs at which point the costs will come down. Once you hit 7000 pcs the cost will be less than it is to make it in PVC.

If you can sell 10000 pcs of a 22" pvc Goro you could probably get the price down to about 75% of what a polystone version would cost.

I read a lot of thread talking about costs, and this should cost that blah blah blah, but unless someone is actually employed in this business they dont understand how many factors contribute to what things cost.

I would love to only make PVC but that would mean price increases of 30-40% OR I can only make characters that will sell 3000+ pcs.

Neither are obviously going to work...

[marker2037]

Interesting.

Still not sure fans would want mostly PVC statues due to the obsession with weight, but it's interesting that Jerry would prefer to make statues in PVC. My guess is that he would prefer it to eliminate the human painting element which in turn would eliminate QC issues.

I personally feel mixed media is my preferred choice in high end statues. Whichever media fits the given application best is what should be used. Metal, plastic, polystone, cloth, etc. for different elements on the piece.

[Morgul Steve]

I had the Yamato 1:4 scale Ritual Statue and she looked great except her bent sword. It made the whole statue look cheap to me. Also the first one I got her hair was broken. I sold her awhile ago and probably would not buy another PVC statue again.

I personally think it is fine to make pieces of a statue PVC but not the whole thing. And swords should be made out of metal.

[The Mule]

Same here, most statues I got with PVC elements had some kind of issue - ie the original Arnold Conan PF had a crappy sword blade that bent like nothing. Same goes for Arthas' sword blade. I managed to see Yamato's statues only in pics, but the difference in painting between their resin statues and the PVC ones was obvious, not in a good way.
I'll glady see comparison pics between HT's 1:4 figures and comparable 1:4 polystone figures to judge the difference.

And that's completely the fault of the people not the material. PVC is the superior option. You got beat out by Jerry and it sounds like you're just moving the goalposts to save face.

In the end of the day you guys all fell for the weight gimmick. There's a reason that material is completely irrelevant in the figure world outside of the US.

In the end of the day you guys all fell for the weight gimmick. There's a reason that material is completely irrelevant in the figure world outside of the US.

I actually recalled Jerry mentioning that PVC is cheaper if you produce a minimal amount that was very minimal (like 500 units), never saw that post before, I have no issue admitting I was wrong.
Don't think it really changes much because if resin/polystone is cheaper at that size and number of units - then use polystone, problem solved. I have yet to see a single case of details like armor, weapons, fur being better done in PVC rather than resin. Only areas where I've seen this PVC supremacy is in head sculpts and metallic finish, and in both cases I'm seeing recently produced pieces on par with what PVC has achieved.
I.e., compare Iron Studios' Chris Evans head sculpt to Hot Toys Chris Evans head sculpt. Or XM's and Imaginarium Art's Iron Man paint app to Hot Toys Iron Man paint app. Or Gentle Giant Cap fabric/body armor to (again) Hot Toys Cap. Or Gentle Giant's Black Widow (everything) to Hot Toys Black Widow.

And sorry but, if a box comes sealed at my home and the PVC parts inside of it are already bent, then I go on the boards just to see that many other people have the exact same issue, I don't blame it on "people". I blame it on the material and how it was engineered, snd the fact that metal wouldn't have bent, easy as that.
So as you can see, this whole argument is pretty ridicolous in my eyes - if PVC is more expensive, stick to resin. If PVC is cheaper, lower the price. Having a PVC piece AND a higher price is just a fail in my eyes.
You might disagree, but people in this hobby (and all collectibles hobbies) jerk off on many different factors. Edition size, licenses, weight, materials, grail-osity, a ton of other things.
I never fell for the "weight gimmick", as you call it, since for example fiberglass is pretty awesome while being very light (see Rhino Comiquette). I just prefer a material over another, if I can have solid resin or cold cast porcelain, plus metal and/or real fur, I'll pick that over full PVC any day any time without the slightest regret.

[Chronicle CS]

I think most of you would be surprised by how many of your statues have PVC, I don't think it cheapens a product, it allows us to cast thousands of parts with our any deformation.

Cain had metal, pvc and resin parts, did anyone notice?

ED-209 had metal, pvc and resin parts, did anyone notice?

The Moxxi we are making for Borderlands has these difficult coat tails and hair. We are making that in dense pvc, it's the same strength and weight as resin, but if you bump it, it doesn't break.

We use PVC to make our products better and stronger, not to devalue them.

Get the old applause figures out of your mind, this is a new era of PVC and vinyl.....

PVC is not cheaper to make, it requires metal molds and increases the costs if you are making 500 figures....

King Conan will set the bar, I promise you.

Paul

[Shoo]

True....we agree...but people I think are scared of one company's treatment of pvc.....ss...man of steal...that was bad...!

I used to think PVC was the recipe for great head sculpts thanks to Blitzway, and actively campaigned for other companies to follow.

Then Sideshow released that Superman MoS PF and... well, let's just say I realized there's 'Blitzway PVC' and 'SSC PVC'.

So yeah, it all comes down to who is using what, I guess.

Imho, it's amazing and Pereira is one of the top sculptors in the market. I was all over it until I got to know the price, now I have to seriously think about it, it's really really expensive.
But face likenesses is spot on and details are crazy good.

I want to wear a cod piece just like that everywhere I go.

Hey Paul did you guys get access to some archived studio/photo shoot pics as source material for this?

If so any chance you wanna post some up?

This PLUS the price is why I didn't pull the trigger either. PLus the cost to get it painted pushes this when into the 1200 dollar category. I was a but confused by the paint master information though but I think its clearly not coming painted.

I asked, it's not coming painted. They only gave reference about who'll paint their proto in case you wanted to get in touch.
And trust me, 1200$ finished is still too low. You're looking at about 1000$ unpainted and only a samaritan would paint the whole thing for less than 500$. I know my painter quoted me 550$ for the paint job, he's a friend of mine and I have a ton of work planned with him, but still that's the lowest he'd go for the amount of time required.

So that Thulsa Doom is being sold as a model kit? I was told it was a private commission for a client?

Unfortunate since Thulsa is the second product in our line....
