Bloodrayne II Statue available again - if you're fast.

[JSA]

Here is the info folks - get her if you want her! (I did!) :D

Bloodrayne II Statue (http://martianfactory.chainreactionweb.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=10&osCsid=0463a4bf10fc1d561f69cdc5af287a07)

And the e-mail sent to me on my waitlist request:

We now have a few statues left and she is up for sale again, if you
wish to purchase the statue just go through the shopping cart.

Please note, that these are the last statues of the 200.
It takes an average 72 hours to produce each one and that is the
time we have determined for the last ones to ship out.

I'm looking forward to this one, even though I'll have to display it with
the body covered up with a cloth or something, due to kids around.
I gave a suggestion that they make it removable, so people with
children could display the statue without the half body present.

The half body was what kept me from it. However, I might buy.

[JSA]

Same here nexus. I'll have a nice looking cloth over the body, as it is totally
inappropriate to display with my kids around. I don't care for it much either
to tell the truth, but the look of the Bloodrayne Statue makes up for it for me.

[CKinSD]

you cannot go wrong with Claudio work and the martain factory. great bunch of folks for sure

[JSA]

Thanks for the thread. Really like this statue!

Yer welcome Tet! I just found this as well - there is a BloodRayne movie in the works.
I bought this statue because I like the look, but a movie coming out should
only make this statue more desirable in the future - always a good thing.
BloodRayne is played by Kristana Loken - the TX girl from Terminator 3.

I've heard that Uwe Boll is a very bad director, but here's hoping that he
does a good job with this license/property. Glad I got this statue when I
did, whether the upcoming movie sucks or not.

The blood and guts is what kept me from getting her cant have that stuff around kids.

[JSA]

Agreed. Do what I'm gonna do - cover up the body, and most of the blood.
Should be pretty easy, and will still look very good.
Actually, if the BloodRayne statue is removable from the base, I'll make up
a custom base for it, minus the gorefest on the floor. Will look nicer then.

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

We do our best and can only improve on our next projects...

The gore is simply a reflection of what is in the game however, understanding different situations at home, we have no problems making it without the severed body(there would be no blood on the base either). Not sure if we could make it removable but we could make it without the body altogether and just have her on the base... just let us know.

The statue is not removable from the base without the risk of breaking her especially when the blood is applied so the best thing is for us to make it without the body altogether, or as a separate piece. Keep in mind that the chain won't be present in this case (or in the case of no body at all).

Also a good idea to specify whether the blood on the blades is OK or would rather have them clean with no blood... a more toned down version. ;)

[CKinSD]

damn now that is service folks. Claudio is one of the good guys and this is just another reason why.

Right on! CLaudio.

[Fritz]

Here is the info folks - get her if you want her! (I did!) :D

Welcome to last year. ;)

I have the same issue with the kids but I had to order anyway. I'll worry about what to do displaying it when it shows up. Awesome work Claudio (even though I have to pay GST & PST :mad: Stupid Government) . Now hurry up with Selene. :D

Claudio

Wow - that is fantastic! But now I have a dilemma. I want the statue to have all
the pieces it is supposed to come with (body & chain) to keep it part of the regular edition,
and not have some one-off item that messes with the overall value. I just placed
my order yesterday, and put in my note that I'd love to have the gory body removable,
or just not fixed to the base. If it were a loose piece, I could at least move it
behind the base, and cover it to keep the chain intact, which is very important to me.

I don't mind the blood on the base or blades at all, as I can pass that off
as generic. Vampire blood, orc blood, monster blood, etc... But a cut-in-half
human with their guts strewn all over is impossible to talk around with kids.

Would having the gory body not fixed solid to the base, but still attached to
BloodRayne with the long chain shown be possible at all? I'd sure appreciate it if so.

Thank you Claudio for the great offer and amazing customer service and consideration. :buttrock:

JS :D

[Fritz]

Wow - that is fantastic!...Thank you Claudio for the great offer and amazing customer service and consideration...

Agreed 100%!

I think I could live without the chain if the body were removable. Decisions, decisions. :) Claudio, since these latest orders aren't coming until around February, when would we have to let you know about the body?

Thanks again,
Fritz

[JSA]

No no Fritz! Must have chain! :stick:

JS ;) :D

[Fritz]

I was just looking over the pictures again, and you're right on. The chain must be there. If you could remove the body and leave everything else the way it is including the blood, that would be fantastic! I would still want the body included, just removable. What do you think Claudio?

I can't believe this is even being discussed never mind actually possible. Claudio, you rock! :buttrock:

[hellspawn77]

Hi gang,

Again thanks for the kind words and support - you guys ROCK if anything! :buttrock:

I'm not sure to be honest because its not that simple. She is extremely complex to build as is let alone try to make her removable with the blood and everything intact... we can make the body removable but I don't think the blood is a possibility. also the chain cannot be made removable so that is something to keep in mind... without the body the chain doesn't make much sense really anyways...

I'll have to discuss it with the crew to see what we can come up with that is realistic...

Hope that helps! ;)

Claudio

[Ghost]

That's a great statue. But judging from the pics for the movie. It looks like a horrible B flick already. The costume looks bad. And Rayne is very pale, and Kristanna is far from that...

[JSA]

Claudio,

Please explain a bit more on the body.

What I think we're hoping for, is that all the blood and everything be present,
but just the body not be fixed permanently to the base. Chain still attached
to BloodRayne and the body, but then we could just move the body behind the
base, and have the chain still attached, so as not to affect the statue value.
Paint the base/floor with the blood, but have the guts and body just setting
on top of it, to be positioned whereever we need, for display purposes.

That, for me, would be IDEAL! Then I could display it easily without needing
to cover the base between BloodRayne's feet to hide the gory body from my kids.

Thanks again for even considering such a thing! I've NEVER had such great great
response from a statue company, to tailor an item specifically for their customers.

JS :D

[Fritz]

...Thanks again for even considering such a thing! I've NEVER had such great great response from a statue company, to tailor an item specifically for their customers...

That pretty much says it all. To borrow a line from Return of the King, Claudio, you bow to no one! :cool:

Looking at the base again, I can see what you mean, the body is pretty much integrated with the blood, chain and base. Can the chain still be included just sitting on the base without the body? The blood on the base is fine too. If not, it doesn't matter, I'm taking it the way it is. Heck I have a Ugluk with a severed head, a Cleaved Orc bust and a Dracula Brides Bust so what's the difference.

PS. I'd be happy to come down and meet with you and your crew to discuss it. :p ;)

[UnicornPegasus]

The blood and guts is what kept me from getting her cant have that stuff around kids.

Yeah, I'm a wuss (kids-shmids, ;)) and the base was a bit too ooky for me, so I had to pass. The blood I have no problem with whatsoever, it's just the corpse torso itself that's a bit too on the "not pretty" side for me. The upper section was quite beautious though! :cool:

[JSA]

Question: If this is the BloodRayne II Statue - Is there a BloodRayne 1 Statue?

Are they referring to the 2nd BR Statue, or 2nd BR videogame, that they
happened to use as the reference for this statue?

I ask, because I'd like the first statue as well, if one was made previously.

JS

[JSA]

Any new updates Claudio? When last we left off, you were investigating if and how
easily it would be possible to separate the gore body from the base, to make it removable,
but still have the chains attached.

Thanks again for even considering such a thing for us! :D

JS :confused:

[Skulpturen]

Thanks Claudio,

hope you'll do 2 versions. :buttrock:

I'm not a blood and guts fan...

[JSA]

BUMP!

Anything new on the removable gore body Claudio?

JS :confused:

[cblakey1]

:buttrock: Thanks :buttrock:

[Tetragrammaton]

Are these shipping yet?

Thanks.

[The Last Ronin]

I helped Claudio with some clean up on the statues and let me tell you she is a kick ass sculpt!
and surprisingly more complex then she looks.

[Fritz]

Yes, hopefully they'll be shipping soon. They were scheduled for early February. :cool:

Then maybe Claudio can start back up on Selene. :buttrock:

[Tetragrammaton]

Weren't these supposed to be out for February?

Any news?

[JSA]

Anybody here receive their statue yet? :confused:

I see reviews of them on the web site, so it does appear they've begun shipping.

JS :confused2

[Tetragrammaton]

I'm still waiting...

[cblakey1]

I'm still waiting...

Hey Tet.. did you contact Claudio?

I think mine arrived like, 2 weeks after the date in the original email that stated when it would be shipped.

When you get yours, be very careful removing it from the box. It is packed in peanuts and the sword tips could be spiked in the foam packing.

Oh, and it is completely assembled too!

[Tetragrammaton]

Thanks for the info Cblakey1,

Being in Canada I expect to get stuff a little later. I'll send out a e-mail to ask what is going on today.

[cblakey1]

But they're in Canada, right?

Man, your postal svc. isn't much better than ours. :mad:

[Fritz]

Looks like some will go out now and some at the end of March. Slight manufacturing delay, that's all.

[Tetragrammaton]

Was informed to expect it at the end of March. :)

[hellspawn77]

Just saw this!

Yes we have had several delays: the unfortunate reality of "made to order" which we will never do again! To many things happen to set you back :banghead:

The good news is that we are on our last 20 so everything looks good :)

Thanks for hanging in there!

Claudio

[Fritz]

...Thanks for hanging in there!...

No problem, it happens. Mass produced items are delayed most of the time as well so I can certainly accept it on a made to order piece! :buttrock:

I'm really looking forward to receiving it. I have a space set aside and waiting beside my Soul Forge statue.

[Tetragrammaton]

Martian Factory did a great job on the statue and on keeping me informed during the long wait.

Here is my newest addition to the collection with a scarlet friend for scale.

how about a pic of the dead body Frank? :)

Sorry lighting was bad I 'll post a better pic tomorrow.

[Bokasmo66]

Any hints/clues where I may be able to acquire this statue?

[Tetragrammaton]

WWW.MARTIANFACTORY.COM

[Bokasmo66]

I've checked there already and it says sold out :banghead:

[Tetragrammaton]

E-bay? Sorry.

[Fritz]

If anyone's interested, you can find some pictures of mine HERE (http://sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showpost.php?p=144755&postcount=8) .

Thank you Claudio/Martian Factory. :buttrock:

[P1X4R]

that's awesome of them to customize it without the corpse.

[CKinSD]

Claudio is one hell of a dude for sure. TOp notch all the way how he customized this for folks. that had to take a lot of extra time and effort to say the least.

[lockford88]

just got mine today...havent opened it yet...

[Fritz]

E-bay? Sorry.

Right you are. Check this out...

[Bokasmo66]

Saw that auction before. Kind of ridiculous really.

Are we talking a jump that quickly, comparing it to a Samwise/Pony & Aragorn statue? I'd think not.

I'll have to wait till the price returns to earth before I'd buy that statue.

I'm a bit miffed I found this thread too late :( Perhaps I'll find one @ a reasonable price down the road....

Yikes!

It'll be interesting if it goes for that or anywhere near that.

Alright...late in the game as usual but I am looking for one of these. I think it's a bloody brilliant statue so does anyone out there have a lead?:D

I got mine of the Bay. I was playing Bloodrayne II one day on my X Box, and was wondering if there was statue, and I found one, and was blown away. I paid a good penny for it though, but I got it, and was happy. That ended up being my first piece.

[Tetragrammaton]

I remember seeing a Bloodrayne II on E-bay about six months back. Now I don't recall if it was an AP or special in some other way but it was BIN for $1,200 US.

I was shocked.

[JSA]

That doesn't seem too far out of whack, considering the low ES and in comparison
with the original Aphrodite IX that sold for a high of around $900 to $1,000.

It is out of whack, as in crazy that we are inclined to spend that much (or far more) on a
statue, but I mean in comparison to another somewhat similar statue it is in-line price-wise.

Bloodrayne II is mighty mighty rare to see up for sale..........

I paid $475 for mine. They guy was trying to ask for $899 I believe, but I made him an offer, and he accepted it, but added about $100 more to it, and I gave in.
